Aw spit, it’s Pit! After 25 years of waiting, Kid Icarus: Uprising will finally bring a full new game for fans of the NES classic. To gear up for the March 23 release, Nintendo has passed down an elaborate trailer that shows off almost every aspect the game has to offer.   One of the [...]

Another year, another two Pokemon games to keep obsessive gamers occupied. Nintendo’s ultra-successful series is back in two all new installments later this year, with the somewhat uninspiring titles of Pokemon Black 2 and Pokemon White 2. That’s right – Nintendo’s now out of fresh colors for their Pokemon games, and is resorting to the [...]

Anyone that remembers the early days of the Wii will no doubt remember the disappointment that gamers felt when they saw Nintendo’s weak third-party emulation support. The Virtual Console, a major selling point, lacked any real games of note, offering only some overplayed and forgotten in-house Nintendo games for new Wii owners. With the 3DS, [...]

The Brain Age series has been one of Nintendo’s biggest portable hits, selling millions of units on the DS, and potentially selling a fair few consoles on its own too. While the games were a frequent sight on the original DS, they’ve been strangely absent in Nintendo’s in-house 3DS line up. That is, absent until [...]

Remember the joy of customizing your camouflage, sneaking through jungle, and slitting Soviet throats before infiltrating a nuclear base?

After all, it’s hard to [...]

Remember the good old days of fighting games, when arcade and SNES players alike could choose from close to five different flavors of Street Fighter 2? While the biggest fighting franchises remain a major hit on consoles, we’ve never quite seen them faithfully ported to a mobile console. Sure, the Gameboy had a few good [...]

Like Mario Kart? Who doesn’t. The mega-successful kart racing series hit the 3DS recently with the critically acclaimed Mario Kart 7. The popular racing title has sold over one million units since its December release, beating sales expectations and proving that the aging franchise is still a hit. But despite Mario Kart’s commercial success, its [...]

Nintendo’s 3DS portable console continued to dominate sales of handheld gaming consoles, racking up close to 1.5 million sales during the 2011 holiday season alone.
