Send Capcom a message: Don’t buy Resident Evil: Mercenaries 3D
The reason: The game does not let you reset saved game data. Why? Presumably as a parlor trick to disuade used (or as I call them: pre-owned) game sales. But Capcom ambiguously says that’s not the case. “Secondhand game sales were not a factor in this development decision,” Capcom said in a statement to Giant Bomb. “This feature does not remove any content available for users.” But ...
eShop Treasures: Five years later, Electroplankton still amazes
If you headed Nintendo of America, how would you release a brilliant first- party title you knew wouldn’t sell? Back in 2006, the company found the perfect solution: If you didn’t pre-order the $19.95 Electroplankton, you probably couldn’t get the game. Arriving in beautiful, shiny-foil packaging, the quirky music generator marked the most limited cartridge launch in NintendoR...

“Sonic, I don’t hate you anymore.”
Nintendo Power editor Chris Slate wrote a great column this month on Sonic vs Mario. I enjoyed it so much, I wanted to share. Here it is transcribed in its entirety from print to internet: Sonic, when you first burst on the scene bragging about blast processing, I kind of hated your guts. For me, no other platformer came close the Super Mario series. So when some friends suddenly sided with the ne...
If you like things that are awesome, Nintentunes is the place to be!
Music is by far the aspect that sticks with me the longest after the console has been powered down. Before even thinking about the awesome battle that occurred at the end of the Fire Temple, I can hear the Bolero of Fire being played in tandem by Link and Sheik. Without question the most influential pieces of music, to me, have come from video games…not Lady Gaga. With that, I welcome yo...
Review: Just your average rice-cake streaking through a haunted spa game…
The eShop added a few new titles to its line-up this week, including Gameboy Tennis and a truly strange and funny little DSi platformer from Aksys Games Pro Jumper! Chimaki’s Hot Spring Tour! Guilty Gear Tangent!? puts you in the role of Chimaki the living rice cake. At the beginning of each level, Chimaki staggers home (presumably from his job as a minor sight-gag in the Guilty Gear games) ...

Do you want Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandora’s Tower to come Stateside? Do you have a stamp and can you write a letter?
Nintendo of America has yet to announce, or even acknowledge the existence of, Xenoblade, The Last Story, or Pandora’s Tower. This has made themightyme on the IGN Boards angry enough to write letters…on actual paper. So here is the basic premise. In the past, fans of television shows on the brink of cancellation have banded together to get networks to bring them back. How was th...
I think my 3DS came to life overnight
Finally, the first must-have Nintendo 3DS game has arrived! Ocarina of Time 3D is a remarkable game. The best part is that it seems to have given new life to everything else about my Nintendo 3DS system. I feel a lot more keen to open the thing up to do anything from taking more 3D photos to playing Face Raiders again. Ocarina of Time 3D isn’t the only thing the 3DS has going for it right no...
