3DS
Nintendo surprised by fast dropping 3DS sales. I’m not.
This is what happens when you release your most expensive handheld ever with no killer-app and stale technology (stereoscopic 3D): “Nintendo 3DS has not been selling as expected since the second week, and this is not just in the Japanese market but also in the United States and Europe, where no direct impact from the great earthquake has occurred,” Nintendo president Satoru Iwata admited Tue...

Ocarina of Time 3DS to have Boss Challenge mode
Worried that Ocarina of Time for 3DS will be nothing more than a port of a port when it releases this June?

BlazBlue: CS II has got your 3DS fighting game itch covered!
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sOhPKwooYVI[/youtube] Super Street Figher IV: 3D edition is a pretty great 3DS launch title among the many mediocre and just plain bad. This game has proved to me right from the launch that fighting games can work great on the 3DS, so it is great to see the arrival of another one so soon. BlazBlue: Continuum Shift 2 looks to stay close to its console and ar...
Three weeks of 3D–How are your eyes doing?
The first time I played 3DS, my eyes felt tired’But since I played for three straight hours, I wasn’t surprised. The next day, the 3D felt much more natural. It reminds me of getting used to trifocal glasses; my first day with the lenses was like looking through a funhouse mirror, and the next day everything looked perfectly normal. Eyes learn quickly! Now I’m using 3D mode (set anywhe...
Overcoming gaming anger
Playing Steel Diver has got me thinking about a problem that some gamers undoubtedly tackle at times: frustration or flat-out rage. My brothers and I can’t play Super Smash Bros. Brawl together without screaming at each other at some point.

Or, non-game, I should say. Though it contains excellent competition events, Nintendogs + cats’like its predecessor’is not really a game at all. It’s...

I finally did it! I finished making Mii versions of all my family members! This family photo includes me, my parents, my four sisters, my four brothers, my sister-in-law, and my niece (that’s a total of thirteen, count ’em!). Don’t see the resemblance? I wanted to give everyone a unique appearance based on their individual differences. Anyone else been busy turning family, friend...

PlayStation CEO trolls for headlines by calling 3DS “babysitting tool”, probably needs his diaper changed
What do you do in the dog-eat-dog business world when the competition has left your mangled corpse in the dust in terms of sales figures? Inform the press that your rivals are a bunch of poopoo buttfaces , clap the dirt off your hands and pat yourself on the back for a job well done, of course. Total self-delusion is doing wonders for Charlie Sheen — when your career takes a huge nosedive, j...
