Don’t Worry, Pikmin Is Still Coming

Nintendo’s E3 press conference came and went without a single mention of the Pikmin game we’d been promised. So where is it? Nintendo tells us it’s coming, just…not today. Speaking at an informal round-table discussion this afternoon, Nintendo designer Shigeru Miyamoto said that while the game is still in development, the company chose not to…

PilotWings Returns On The 3DS

This one’s a little bit PilotWings, a little bit Wii Sports Resort. But don’t worry. It’s mostly PilotWings. The classic Nintendo flight series makes a comeback on the 3DS with PilotWings resort, which has you flying around Wii Sports Resort’s Wahu Island in not just a plane, but stuff like hang gliders and jet packs…

Mario Kart Takes A Spin On The 3DS

It wouldn’t be a piece of Nintendo hardware without a Mario Kart game now, would it? While these are from a “concept demo”, and not an actual title, it’s Mario Kart. It’ll turn up on the system sooner or later.

Metroid: Other M’s E3 Trailer

This is Metroid: Other M’s E3 trailer, and if Team Ninja wanted to remind us of dark 80s sci-fi, they’re going about it the right way. Not with the clean, bright visuals, but with that synth track! So heavy. So dirty. Like Samus is going to turn a corner somewhere in the game and find…

Paper Mario Brings 2D To The 3DS

The 3DS isn’t all about 3D graphics. Sometimes, you just need something that looks pretty on the new, improved hardware. Like Paper Mario. While we’re sure there’ll be 3D tricks involved along the way, the first screens of Paper Mario seem to suggest it’s simply a great opportunity to take one of the best-looking series…

Star Fox Returns, On The 3DS

Nintendo’s last 3D console had a Star Fox game on it. It’s nice to see the company keeping up tradition. Sorry, traditions. The second being that, like with the DS, the 3DS will launch with a re-release of an old Nintendo 64 game, in this case Star Fox 64.

Rumor: 3DS Gets Ocarina Of Time Remake [Update]

These six images show what looks a lot like an Ocarina of Time remake for the new Nintendo 3DS. They’re available via a workaround on Nintendo’s E3 press site.

Official 3DS Pictures Show It’s A Pretty Little Thing

It’s not until you see official press shots of the new handheld that you realise how pretty the new 3DS really is. Sure, at first glance it looks like a regular DS, but it’s the little touches that make all the difference. The glossy finish, the smooth thumbstick and the gentle, almost unnoticeable curve on…
