I check it for updates more actively than any of my other iOS apps, and I have both the original version and the candy-coated “holiday” versions—including V-Day, St. Pat’s Day, Xmas and Halloween. I have played them all to completion and think they represent some of the best the mobile platform has to offer (this is true even if we also acknow...
What the fanboy?!
If you would have asked me just 4 years ago what the be all end all video game system was, I would have told you without even thinking about it the Nintendo Wii.

Miyamoto-san, what did you eat?!
So I went to PAX East this past Saturday—it was fun! I only really hit up the exhibit floor to check out new games and the 3DS, but that was enough for me. I also bought a wooden training sword for no particular reason. While touring the floor, I visited the 8-Bit Cubist booth and picked up a few postcards. These guys and gals can seriously draw, and the images presented here are but two exa...

You can control 3DS music player with iPhone earbuds
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=McrsYA9EWE0[/youtube] Nintendo 3DS Blog discovered (via YouTube) that you can use iPhone earbuds to pause or skip tracks on the 3DS music player. Kind of a neat feature that hasn’t been touted by Nintendo. Just another reason, like SpotPass, StreetPass, and the pedometer, to get you to take your 3DS everywhere you go. I know it isn’t a really big...
