3DS buyers: What are your impressions after your first play-through?
I’d never played or even seen 3DS in person until I picked it up this afternoon. I’m having a great time with it…or I was until the battery ran out after three hours. Sad battery reality aside, here are some quick initial thoughts: 1. Love the whole user environment, and the camera’s going to get a lot of use. 2. Face Raiders is a blast. It lessens the sting of the hardware...
Okamiden review: A pint-sized, simplified extra cute helping of Okami
When Okami debuted on the PS2, it garnered plenty of critical acclaim and eventually saw a version released for the Wii in 2008. Though it couldn’t quite rack up the impressive sales figures of a Zelda release (and actually holds a Guinness World Record as the “least commercially successful winner of a game of the year award”), reviews universally praised the gameplay, music and ...
Happy 3DS Day!
Nintendo’s newest console is available today! Anyone else get a 3DS yet?
Looking to the Game Boy future of 3DS
For me one of the biggest draws of the 3DS, as it was with the Wii, is the ability to play classic games via each systems respective virtual consoles. With the 3DS in particular, I can’t wait to get my hands on some classic Game Boy titles. It’s too bad the eshop won’t be launching until May, but two months isn’t too long to wait for the service. After all, we waited two mo...
Amazon 3DS orders are now shipping
I just got confirmation that my 3DS order has shipped, as well as Pilot Wings Resort. It’s apparently it has been shipped via “A1 International” with an estimated delivery date of tomorrow! I don’t think the snazzy UPS truck depicted here would show up on a Sunday. Anyone else order from Amazon getting shipment notifications?

Good bye, old friend
This weekend marks the end of my DS Lite’s place in my arsenal of gaming gear. It’s been a great pal and was a prime motivational goal for me several years ago to lose some weight. Tonight I’ll take a trip down memory lane with some of my favorite games from the system, like Rhythm Heaven, Chibi Robo Park Patrol, Kirby Superstar Saga, Picross, Puzzle Quest 2, Fire Emblem, DQ9, a...

Buyer’s guide: 3DS launch games
Not sure what games to get with that shiny new 3DS this weekend? Wired Magazine has you covered. I still think Pilotwings and Steeldiver are the best showcase (and most entertaining) games I’ve played on the system, but I was encouraged by the favorable coverage of both Ridge Racer and Asphalt 3D. Who knew?
Looks like GameFly is shipping 3DS titles
I had some Wii games in my GameFly queue ahead of the 3DS games (like Just Dance 2), but it looks like they’re starting to ship 3DS games. There were some other 3DS games up ahead of Sims 3 in my queue, like Samurai Warriors Chronicles, but for whatever reason they picked this one to send out early. Nintendo published titles such as Nintendogs+Cats are listed as releasing on 3/27/11. Anyone ...

I’m buying the Nintendo 3DS
Jack made plenty of good points, all of which I had considered before his article. Nevertheless, I am buying the Nintendo 3DS; I bought two, in fact. Here’s why:
