[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bPc3Ne7xBKw[/youtube] This new trailer for Aliens: Infestation brings the hotness and looks to do the exciting new title justice.

PAX Prime attendees get first crack at some new Nintendo games

Heading to PAX Prime? Then you’ll be among the first to play games like Super Mario 3D Land, Mario Kart 7, and many more. I went to PAX East this spring and really enjoyed getting a chance to play the 3DS before it was on sale. In fact, that play time confirmed my purchase and got me to buy one for my wife, too. So is anyone heading to PAX Prime this year? Check out the list of titles past t...

Worst Nintendo box art ever?

I haven’t hopped on the Nintendo hate wagon that’s been going on around here yet, so here’s my entry: worst Nintendo box art ever. Come on Nintendo! You’d think that a cutey line Kirby deserves to have his happy mug splashed on the cover of his new title Mass Attack! I also have never heard of this developer called TEMP. Seriously, though, I love Kirby and this game looks r...

Did Nintendo just admit the death of dedicated handheld gaming?

Like many of you, I awoke to news yesterday that Nintendo had cut the price of the 3DS by an unprecedented 32% in one fell swoop. Wired Magazine called it a “fire sale.” More unprecedented was how quickly it happened; only four months after the 3DS launch. (NOTE: Nintendo’s other slow selling systems, N64 and GameCube, saw 25% price drops six months after launch. Virtual Boy was ...

Your 2012 gaming plans according to Nintendo

E3 may be long gone, but this week Nintendo has outlined the games gamers will be gaming (see what I did there?) on Nintendo consoles in 2012. Notably absent is any mention of recent Japanese releases Last Story and Pandora’s Tower, which many gamers were hoping would help fill in the gaps until Skyward Sword and Wii U. Wii isn’t totally dead in the water though, check out Derek’...

Nintendo drops DS to $100, plays favorites with its own games

Nintendo today dropped the price of the DS Lite to $100, effective June 5. They’re also re-realeasing Mario games in red boxes, which have proven to help boost sales. As a reminder, it’s stuff like this that rubs independent publishers the wrong way, since Nintendo doesn’t allow them to release specially colored boxes.
