Rayman Origins: These tiny character “sprites” are making me thirsty!
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x9rcIK_t4IY[/youtube] Rayman Origins is wonderfully artistic. That I cannot deny. But something bothers me about its graphics: Playable characters are frustratingly small. That is to say, the camera is too wide to really appreciate the playable character. Instead of enjoying the entire screen, you’re eyes are focused on such a tiny spot of TV real esta...
How many of these 3DS games are you considering?
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ApnMjIOZMSI[/youtube] Out of upcoming ones, I’d only go with Mario Land 3D, and to a lesser extent, Mario Kart 7 (because I still think the DS version is the best Mario Kart evar.) What about you?

New trailer for Aliens: Colonial Marines brings the whimsy

As Starfox 64 3D approaches, take a look at the franchise’s evolution
“‘It’s the universe you’ve been longing for…’ Oh, that stinks. Don’t write that down.” – Shigeru Miyamoto That quote provides a typically fun, good-natured moment in the Starfox-centered “Iwata Asks” feature on Nintendo’s website. It’s been available since the beginning of August, but as the release of Starfox 64 3D draw...
Impromptu Nintendo event has investors (and gamers) giddy
Nintendo announced an unexpected Japanese press event yesterday for Sept 13, two day before the Tokyo Game Show. Following the news, the company’s stock priced jump, as investors expect Nintendo to unveil a revamped 3DS that day, reportedly one with a head-scratching second analog stick and a de-emphasis on 3D.

PAX Prime attendees get first crack at some new Nintendo games
Heading to PAX Prime? Then you’ll be among the first to play games like Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, and many more. I went to PAX East this spring and really enjoyed getting a chance to play the 3DS before it was on sale. In fact, that play time confirmed my purchase and got me to buy one for my wife, too. So is anyone heading to PAX Prime this year? Check out the list of titles past t...
Rumor: Price chopped 3DS is already being targeted for a major do-over
When it rains it pours: Nintendo is allegedly sending the 3DS back to the shop for a major 2012 overhaul, including a head-scratching $10 add-on thumbstick that will attach to the devices’s right side and a decreased emphasis on 3D capabilities. The disheartening rumor arrives courtesy a tipster over at 1UP, who has in the past successfully provided insider information about the Wii U and So...

Nintentunes: Citizens on Patrol
This week’s edition of Nintentunes has heavy dose of RPG, perhaps in anticipation of the arrival of my import copy of Xenoblade. This may also be the reason why a game that has never seen the light of day outside of Japan is featured as well. Charlie Sheen also makes a cameo this week so what are you waiting for? Head past the br… was that the doorbell!?
