| | Here’s 4 minutes of Super Mario 3D Land! | 
Geoffrey Tim - October 21st, 2011 | Sorry, did I say Super Mario Land 3d? I meant S?p?

| Has the 3DS been hacked? | 
Geoffrey Tim - October 3rd, 2011 | Piracy hit the Nintendo DS pretty hard. Thanks to the R4 flash cart and the wave of others that followed, it’s actually ridiculously easy to run pirated games on Nintendo’s dual-screened handheld. Those same flashcarts can actually run on Nintendo’s new 3DS - but only for playing illicitly backed-up copies of DS games. That could change, if there’s any truth to claims by a group called "Crown3DS,” who say they’ve made headway in running 3DS roms.As it stands right now ... [»] |

| Capcom refused Inafune’s help for MegaMan Legends 3 | 
Geoffrey Tim - September 20th, 2011 | Apart from the always delightful Yoshinoro Ono, Capcom hasn't been doing much to endear itself to gamers lately. On top of quick cash-ins like the recently released Resident Evil 4 HD (which is just upscaled from the PC version) and the deluge of worthless DLC, it also broke hearts and caused a sea of vitriol when it cancelled fan favourite Mega Man Legends 3.

Geoffrey Tim - September 20th, 2011 | Sony, it seems, doesn’t think too highly of Nintendo’s decision to release a peripheral for the 3DS that adds an extra analogue circle pad to the device. Many believe it’s in response to Sony’s PlayStation Vita, which has two analogue sticks right outta the box - but Sony says otherwise, and wants to distance itself from the hideously large accessory.Sony Computer Entertainment president Shuhei Yoshida believes the accessory has nothing to do with the Vita. "Well it's not ... [»] |

| Nintendo sees 3DS sales surge | 
Geoffrey Tim - August 16th, 2011 | You’d never imagine that sizeably substantial price cut would be met with a dramatic increase in sales (no?) but that’s exactly what’s happened. In the four days since Nintendo lopped 40% off of its Japanese 3DS price, the device has gone on to sell as many as 215,000 units.The number makes it is the system's second highest weekly total, following its launch week sales ...

| Gears of War 3 going 3D | 
Geoffrey Tim - August 16th, 2011 | I’ve played a fair few games in 3D, though none of the have really grabbed me by the balls enough to put myself in debt to get a shiny new 3D TV. Killzone 3 was ok in 3D and Wipeout HD is pretty fantastic with the extra dimension – but beyond that little has wowed me. Sony’s been pushing hard for ... [»] |

| Nintendo admits it needed a stronger 3DS launch | 
Geoffrey Tim - August 11th, 2011 | Nintendo’s 3DS launched to much fanfare, selling much of its available stock at launch within its first week at retail, even becoming the company’s best selling system with regards to day-one sales.

Darryn Bonthuys - August 3rd, 2011 | Still feeling a little stung over the recent announcement that Nintendo is going to drastically slash the price of the 3DS?
