This one’s a little bit PilotWings, a little bit Wii Sports Resort. But don’t worry. It’s mostly PilotWings.

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.

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…
