Nintendo Download Highlights New Digital Content for Nintendo Systems
Today, Nintendo has announced the newest downloads for the eShop and Nintendo Video that will be available this week. Of the three new items announced, I am interested in “underneath the Sycamore”. The old time comic look seems quite interesting. Will you be downloading any of these? Nintendo eShop Ketzal’s Corridors – The evil god Koruptal has brought chaos and destruction t...
What Nintendo could learn from Skylanders
As I mentioned in a previous post, I’ve recently – and belatedly — discovered the surprisingly great Skylanders, and have now morphed from embarrassed newcomer to up-front defender of the game (despite its ruthless, money-sucking business model). Truth be told, Skylanders is a brilliant and beautifully-crafted adventure, both on Wii and 3DS. Having finished the 3DS version, I was several cha...

Here is something that is really neat. Nintendo & The Louvre Museum (Ya know, the one with the Mona Lisa…) have announced a partnership that will make use of the 3DS.

Does Anyone Still Play Face Raiders?
I Love my 3DS. It has an excellent library of games, downloadable content, Netflix, StreetPass and more. I have spent several hours saving Hyrule, racing Karts, finding the Princess, taking on the Underworld forces… The list could go on and on. One game though, has been on my 3DS since Day One yet I have not played since the day I turned my system on… Face Raiders. Seriously, does anyo...
Review: Colors! 3D is absolutely brilliant
Rock solid, friendly and intelligently designed, Colors! 3D arrived on eShop today, coupling a wonderful art studio with a fun online gallery for sharing your creations with the world.

What do Scrooge McDuck, Suikoden, Sega Genesis and Henry Hatsworth have in common? The answer lies in a potential 3DS masterpiece.
The April Nintendo Power reveals many details about the forthcoming Epic Mickey sequels. The Wii game sounds solid, but — frankly — 3DS steals the show, here. While Wii, 360 and PS3 are all getting The Power of Two — a rather straightforward sequel to 2010’s fun-but-flawed Disney twist — 3DS is getting an entirely different game, and it’s a gorgeous sprite-base...
The Case for an Achievement System on Nintendo Consoles
I admit it. I’m an achievement junkie. Well, to be clear, I’m a trophy junkie, since I own a PS3, but “achievements” is the more common term. It’s fun to see what I have accomplished in the games I’ve played and it’s also fun to see what my friends have pulled off. The problem is that I’m just not as passionate about Playstation games as I am about Nintendo games. This is why I would like to see a...

Ambassadors: Are You Still Enjoying Your Free Games?
It’s been a number of months since the last Ambassador games arrived on the 3DS for us early adopters. I have to admit, I haven’t spent too much time with many of these games so far. However, I’ve really started to get into the original Metroid on the NES. It’s extremely difficult and I get lost a whole lot, but I can’t stop thinking about it. WarioWare is also excell...
