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. Link, happy 25th birthday, pal.
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. Listen to the duo's first demo, I Know Now, below!
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."
Nintendo appears to have taken in all the criticism about how eco-unfriendly it's been in recent years and is being very clever in its bid to rectify the situation (in Japan at least). It's filling its 3DS game boxes with holes. Don't worry, they're strategically-placed holes, so your games should still be protected by their plastic clamshells like the pearls of 3D gaming wonder they so clearly are. But there's something they may not have considered...
It's often said that a work can't be evaluated as “Classic” until ten years after its birth. With a headstrong medium like games, though, that definition gets bent a little bit: while the Smithsonian American Art Museum's upcoming “Art of Video Games” exhibition will feature plenty of titles that pass the ten-year test, some exhibits could be as recent as 2010. “Could be”? What titles will be on show, exactly? Well, that's up to you...
We hope you're sitting down. Are you sitting down? You're reading a webpage about one of your favorite things, which is videogames, so it's safe to assume you're sitting down. Okay. Here it is. Activision has a new Transformers game coming out, the tie-in to upcoming movie sequel Dark of the Moon. The game, whose trailer launches today, functions as prologue to the movie and introduces new villain Shockwave. It also introduces a detail which will change the way you view Transformers... forever...
