A patent from Nintendo reveals a new way to control the 3DS?

It looks like the gears are moving in the minds of the Nintendo developers.  A new patent was recently filed to create a new input method on the 3DS.  What is so special about a new input method, you ask?  It does not require any sort of physical contact with the 3DS at all!

Free DLC from WayForward is the Way it Should Be

Yesterday’s long-awaited, story-extending DLC for Batman Arkham City, which came with a $10 price tag, reminded me of a similar game-extending gem that hit Nintendo’s e-Shop last week for WayForward’s excellent platformer, Mighty Switch Force. Five new levels, a new “Retry” button, and an enhanced 3D effect on existing levels were brought to the table, and you know wh...

E3 predictions inbound. Here is what I think Nintendo will talk about in one weeks time.

Lag? No way; view it as an effect

I stand by my more-positive-than-most review of Mario Tennis Open; it’s been non-stop fun since I popped that game into my 3DS. If you’ve encountered Wilford in the Wiggler suit online, that’s me. Since my review reflected my then-current view of the game’s online play, I feel it’s my duty to add an update. Apparently, as more and more tennis fans enter the fray onlin...

Its pick-up-and-play nature and smooth, fast online modes make it a perfect anywhere-anytime title. There’s a rhythm to single player progression that takes a little while to grab hold, but — once it does — Mario Tennis Open blossoms into a very f...
