Princess Peach Gets Her Own Damn Wii Remote Plus
I’ve managed to resist picking up the Mario and Luigi themed Wii remotes thus far, but the addition of a Princess Peach motion controller at the end of the month has the game paraphernalia collector in me twitching.

Realistic Pokémon Snap Would Give Me Nightmares
Hey that’s not the Mewtwo and the Cerulean Cave I remember from the Pokémon games. This—otherwise amazing—redesign by DeviantART artist arvalis is way more creepy. It reminds me of those combat-free horror games (Outlast, anyone?), mixed with the N64 classic, Pokémon Snap I don’t want Pokémon to be real anymore. What Lies in the Cerulean…

A Breakdown of The New Smash Bros. Mode
Based on what we’ve seen of Smash Run, the recently-revealed multiplayer mode in Super Smash Bros. where players traverse dungeon-like levels and collect power-ups, it looks like the 3DS-specific mode could be a blast.

Kotaku ‘Shop Contest: Ninja Tongue-Twister
No one expected ninja tongue Pokémon Greninja to show up in Super Smash Bros. for the Wii U and 3DS. I’m guessing there are many other places no one would expect him to show up. I’m thinking our Photoshop Gym Leaders can demonstrate. You guys probably saw this coming. How could I possibly resist a…

Today Nintendo unveiled Tomodachi Life, a game that our own Jason Schreier described as “Animal Crossing on Acid“. I’m inclined to agree. That trailer was one of the weirdest things I’ve ever seen come out of Nintendo, complete with avatars of current executives and luminaries acting bonkers. How weird was it you ask? Let the…

Comic artist Natasha Allegri knows how to make things fairer. Don’t take Samus’ stupid heels off. Put stupid heels on everyone else Bowser, you are killing it.…
