If you’ve played New Super Mario Bros. 2, then you’re aware of how the game works. You run around like a greedy bastard collecting gold coins until Mario’s pockets (figuratively) burst. Apparently, the folks over at Nintendo have their pockets full of cash, as well, which serves to provide a bit of a poetic coincidence. Despite having launched in late […]
Capcom has announced that Ace Attorney 5 is in development, the latest entry in its popular courtroom drama series. And, in a non-shocker, it’s coming to Nintendo 3DS. Beyond that, not too many details were divulged. An Andriasang report reveals that the Phoenix Wright will return as the main character, after taking a backseat to newcomer Apollo Justice in Ace […]
The next entry in the Professor Layton series was announced during the latest Nintendo Direct presentation, reports Andriasang.

Like the previous entry, this […]
Originally slated for a late summer release, it’s been revealed that Mercury Steam’s take on handheld vampire slaying — Castlevania Mirror of Fate — has been pushed to 2013. No specific timeframe was given. It’s not too surprising, considering the 3DS-bound title was looking very rough around the edges based on our E3 impressions. Low framerate was the most glaring […]

This will mark the fourth entry in the Paper Mario series of RPGs, and the first time the franchise has appeared on a portable platform. In addition […]
Sometimes you just have to admire when people do ridiculous things in a video game … or in this case, for a video game. Apparently, YouTube user Nintendomination (awesome name, by the way) figured he’d set an impressive record by collecting one million coins in New Super Mario Bros. 2 … … in three days. The dude totally opted out […]
New Super Mario Bros. 2 will be a unique title for Nintendo. It’s going to be the first full game that’s available in both physical form at retailers and as a digital download through the eShop.

Nintendo President Satoru Iwata recently spoke to The Independent and gave his thoughts on stereoscopic 3D graphics. While the Big N’s head honcho did say that visual design is an important element of gaming, he also explained that graphics aren’t the most important aspect of a game. He then went on to say that while 3D may be incorporated into […]

The announcement was made today during the Nintendo Direct presentation, where viewers were assured that the add-on content would not be developed until after New Super Mario Bros. […]
Nintendo will be airing one of its special Nintendo Direct presentations tonight. The company has confirmed that it will be discussing Wii, 3DS, and DS news. It’s a bit strange that the Wii U wasn’t mentioned, and unless Nintendo is planning on surprising gamers, I doubt we’ll get any new info on the upcoming console. Speaking of surprises, what can […]
While the PlayStation Vita may not have a lot to offer RPG fans, the PSP proudly boasted a large assortment of entries in the genre in its heyday. Despite the fact that Sony is pushing for the Vita to be its prime handheld at the moment, there are still PSP games trickling out of the production line, one of which […]
The Legend of Zelda has a storied history as one of the grandest video game franchises ever conceived. While gamers talk about every title in the series to incredible degrees, two revered titles that have been talked about a lot lately are A Link to the Past and Majora’s Mask. Nintendo has hinted at 3DS remakes for both of these, […]
Nintendo has been quick to release new revisions of hardware in the past, but so far, that hasn’t been the case with 3DS. It’s been a little over a year since its debut and we still haven’t heard a peep about a possible redesign. In fact, Mario creator Shigeru Miyamoto has revealed to IGN that the company isn’t thinking about […]
As a franchise, Castlevania has suffered a rocky relationship with home consoles, at least up until 2010’s Lords of Shadow reboot. While transitioning to 3D was a struggle for Castlevania throughout the PS2 era, portable installments that retained the classic side-scrolling gameplay with Metroid-like exploration elements flourished during those dark times. However, with the success of Lords of Shadow, Konami […]
When Luigi’s Mansion 2 was announced for the 3DS, fans of the first game immediately got stoked at the prospect of a handheld sequel. After all, the first game had a nice following, and while it wasn’t perfect, it delivered an experience that derived from the typical Mario formula and dared to be different. Couple that with the fact that […]
Nintendo has decided to pass up on Edmund McMillen’s dark and disturbing Zelda-like action RPG The Binding of Isaac due to “questionable religious content.” McMillen tweeted the dismal verdict today, noting that it stems from a long internal debate with the company. Like McMillen says, “Thank God Steam exists.” We couldn’t agree more. Frankly, it’s a shame that platformer holders […]
