Sega has confirmed that it will be releasing a redesigned version of Zoë Mode's PSP spatial puzzler Crush for the Nintendo 3DS this Fall. The remake, oh-so-creatively called Crush3D, will make full use of the 3DS' hardware, and include new puzzles, enemies and a hint system. Which is good, because if my memory serves me well, Crush was one of the PSP's trickier titles.

Similar to the 2007 original, the game stars Danny...

Hoe. Lee. Crap. This is one of the most spellbinding things I've seen in ages. If you ever need a justification for the worth of homebrew fan ingenuity, this is it. If you're feeling suicidal and need to see something beautiful enough to give you a reason to go on living, this is it.

A rather spectacular lunatic by the name of Eighteen has taken literally hundreds of screens from the prettiest Wii and Gamecube games around and converted them to 3D. His purpose? Putting them on a .rar file that you can download, extract the contents of, and stuff your lucky, lucky 3DS SD card to the gills with. The screens are easily viewable with the 3DS camera's photo viewer, and yikes are they a stunning taste of what's to come on Nintendo's sparkly little handheld. Forget the crap launch-window game blues. Myself and Justin have just been looking at the Super Mario Galaxy screens and gurgling about the potential of the recently announced Super Mario 3DS game. 

We still weep.

According to Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto, Super Mario 3D for the Nintendo 3DS will be a mix of Super Mario 64 and Super Mario Galaxy. So far, so awesome. However, speaking in an interview with The Telegraph, Miyamoto also revealed that the upcoming Nintendo 3DS platformer will make use of the console’s gryo sensor for controls.

It seems that tilting the Nintendo 3DS will make up for the handheld’s lack of a second analogue stick. “Sometimes people ask why the 3DS isn’t double stick,” said Miyamoto.  “One is normally used to control the camera, but having the gyro sensor you can replace the analogue stick by moving the console, which is very intuitive.”...

THQ has confirmed the cancellation of Saints Row: Drive By, a PSN and XBLA off-shoot of the farcical GTA-esque crime title that was set to precede the full-on Saints Row sequel later this year...

Bet you think that your vintage, autographed Game Boy is pretty cool, eh? Sorry hotshot, but unless it's orbited the earth nearly 3,000 times, it just can't compete in the arena of awesome with this soon-to-be auctioned Game Boy that spent 196 days aboard the Mir space station.

The well-traveled handheld is being auctioned off as part of The Space History Sale run by Bonhams. It includes the system itself plus a Tetris cartridge and instruction book; all of which accompanied cosmonaut Aleksandr A. Serebrov during his shift on the Mir back in 1993...

Nintendo uploaded a new trailer for its Ocarina of Time remake today. Here it is! Sorry, there's not much else to say about it, other than we get a few more glimpses of adult Link and Ganondorf. We're still digging the improved graphics, though it would have been nice if some of lesser enemies recieved as hefty a makeover as Link, Zelda and Ganon.

Nintendo's E3 presence will have more western games than usual, says company president, Satoru Iwata. “I feel that it will become necessary to reinforce the development resources in the foreign countries. Therefore, I hope we will be able to show you something like that at E3,” said Iwata at an investor briefing last week.

Those western games could be for the 3DS or Nintendo's new console, which Nintendo plans to unveil at the trade show. Iwata's comments on the state of Nintendo's third-party partners seem to indicate that many of these western titles will be for the new home console...
