Could there be a better crossover adventure mash-up than Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney? I don’t think so.
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rQPLIoAnfjM[/youtube] There may not be any English in the trailer, or much of anything that makes sense to me because I don’t speak the Japanese language, but that isn’t stopping me from getting excited about he upcoming  Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney trailer that has popped up from last weeks TGS. Developer Level-5 has yet to let me down ye...
Unconfirmed photo leak: Super Smash Bros. Universe coming to Wii U
An unverified photo surfaced on the Internet this week, suggesting that the previously announced and upcoming Super Smash Bros. Wii U game will be called Super Smash Bros. Universe and contain non-Nintendo characters. As you can see, the photographed document conforms to Nintendo’s usual fact sheets. As you can also see, it’s in Japanese. Chance the photo is legitimate? Given the circ...

Here you go, have a new Kingdom Hearts 3D Dream Drop Distance video!
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y1pkrxqKjmE[/youtube] I have absolutely no idea what Sora and Co. are saying in this trailer, but I can just imagine would it would be like in 3D! In all seriousness, it is about time a proper Kingdom Hearts title is arrives on a Nintendo console, and with the 3DS, it looks like there will be some interesting things going on. For one, it looks like the game ...
Nintendo, would you please advertise the 3DS? For real this time?
Hey, The Lion King’s 3D re-release topped the box-office charts over the weekend! (Go Simba!)Â Wouldn’t that have been the perfect opportunity for Nintendo to stick pre-movie ads for a certain little handheld game machine? Then again, at this point, wouldn’t anyplace be a great spot for some 3DS advertising?
Kirby Mass Attack: “The closest thing to a Canvas Curse sequel we’ll ever see”
[youtube]http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s5T9eVfuiOo[/youtube] Kirby Mass Attack (out today) is getting really good reviews. Here’s one in particular: There will inevitably be Kirby purists who will baulk at the rather unorthodox gameplay concept behind Kirby Mass Attack, but if they do they’ll be missing out on one of Kirby’s most unique adventures to date. While there are a few ...

But no matter, all of them have excellent music, and that is exactly what Nintentunes is all about! Join us as we explore the auditory sensation that is Nintentunes!
Video games as a skill?
Before I started thinking about this idea, I was easily frustrated by new gamers who couldn’t seem to grasp controls that are second nature to me. I have a friend whose family has never owned a single dedicated gaming system, handheld or otherwise. Even so, how hard can it possibly be to hold a Wii remote sideways and control the on-screen Mario with the directional pad and jump button? Even...
