Mega Man 6 is my favorite title in the series, mainly because of the off the wall Robot Masters that were...

Rollercoaster Tycoon barreling toward 3DS

Some people, like John Ivers of Indiana, have the guts and ingenuity to build a working rollercoaster in their back yard. For most folks, however, coaster construction is limited to virtual worlds, and Nintendo fans can soon join the fun if Atari and developer n-Space deliver on their recent announcement: Rollercoaster Tycoon is coming to 3DS.

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.

Instead of enjoying the entire screen, you’re eyes are focused on such a tiny spot of TV real esta...

[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?

“‘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...
