No more Retro Donkey Kong?
If you enjoyed last year’s revival of the Donkey Kong Country franchise, this may be sad news to you. In a recent interview with Game Informer, Retro Studio’s CEO Michael Kelbaugh told the magazine “I wouldn’t say we won’t do a sequel [for Donkey Kong Country Returns], but we don’t have anything planned at this time.” This surely isn’t an outright confirmation ...

Super Mario on 3DS, dissecting the details

ESRB rating teases something magical called “Burger Time HD”
I usually loathe how the video game industry has adopted the blockbuster sequel/remake mentality of Hollywood (for one thing it’s not as mature as cinema, and can’t hope to mimic this effectively), but then I see that the ESRB has rated a game called Burger Time HD for all major platforms, and I feel myself becoming a bit hypocritical about the whole thing. Jack, thy new name be “...
Perspective – 3DS price is very nice
Back in 1990, the cutting edge portable system was the NEC TurboExpress. At release, it cost $249.99, the same as the 3DS. If you adjust for inflation, the TurboExpress would cost $427 in 2009 money. Do you think the price for the 3DS is fair? [image source]

How do you game?
Have you ever run into the same problem that I have? See, my problem is deciding what game to play next. My ”˜pile of shame’ goes back as far as an unopened copy of Baten Kaitos for the Gamecube, so I have my work cut out for me if I ever want to finish all the titles in my collection. You know you have issues when 10% of your collection is filled with titles you have yet to play, but I̵...

Reggie Fils-Aime, the president of NOA, ruffled a few feathers when he defended Nintendo’s traditional pricing tier and threw in a jab at $0.99 downloadable games from the iTunes App Store, calling them “disposable” and “one of the biggest risks of the gaming industry”.
