Yesterday we showed you the 3DS launch games for both the US and UK, but in Japan the system goes on sale in just a couple days. It’s not surprising that the first reviews ever for 3DS games would accompany the Japanese launch, and said critiques were supplied by Famitsu, the biggest gaming magazine in Japan...
Nintendo has remained relatively tipped lip about the 3DS' augmented reality strategy, but thanks to an anonymous leak over at Wired, we now have a better idea of how the company plans to support one of its system's most unique features.
There was once was a time when Professor Layton cornered the market in anime-inspired puzzle games featuring brainy male leads and under-aged sidekicks. Now that the series has shipped more than 11M units worldwide, Level-5's winning formula has seemingly spawned a sub-genre of Layton-inspired games; the latest of which is Namco Bandai's newly announced DS riddler, Treasure Report: The Mechanized Legacy...
With the 3DS launch a little more than a month away, it’s about time Nintendo’s US branch at last revealed what games will be available when March 27 rolls around. 16 total games are hitting retail the same time as the new handheld, but are all of them winners? Probably not...
Once upon a time, someone once uttered the phrase: "A picture is worth somewhere between 999 and 1001 words". Eh, or something to that effect. So, rather than waste precious milliseconds of your existence, we'll simply say; click inside to see the most incredible (and stupidly-sized) Legend of Zelda art your eye holes have ever seen.

The Nintendo 3DS isn't the only portable gaming device that can produce 3D graphics without the need for special glasses. LG's upcoming Optimus 3D phone will achieve a similar effect and has already secured a game publishing partner in Gameloft...
The 3DS isn't available in stores yet, but the system has already been graced with its first game cancellation from a major publisher. EA has put the kibosh on its 3D horticultural simulator, My Garden...
Team Ninja recommends gamers turn 3D off for the hardcore experience when playing Dead or Alive Dimensions on their brand new Nintendo 3DS systems. Studio head Yosuke Hayashi's words are sure to annoy Nintendo, who are selling the system on its unique selling point of being able to provide glasses-free 3D. Why would he say such a thing?
We don't usually promote our editors' side projects, but only because examples of those projects include writing about a very specific category of cartoon specials, recording videos of pets, and watching every Planet of the Apes film in rapid succession. GR Associate Editor Lizzie Cuevas, however, is actually involved in a project that's worth sharing with you guys - a shiny new 8-bit indie rock band called The Glowing Stars.

The Nintendo Points cards available on store shelves today will have absolutely no effect on the 3DS's virtual download store, because for whatever reason Nintendo will be making new cards specifically for the 3D handheld.
That detail was announced on Nintendo's Japanese website, which according to a translation says, "Prepaid Nintendo point cards cannot be used with the Nintendo 3DS. Prepaid point cards that can be used with the 3DS will go on sale at a later date."
