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.

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

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!?
Will you miss the rumble in the Starfox 64 remake?
Do you remember the first time you experienced the N64 Rumble Pak? In 1997 I walked into EB Games to find the manager demonstrating his imported Starfox 64 (due in the States two months later).

The effect was great fun, and the...
