Harvest Moon 3DS for $20, and more →
Just making sure you see this sale because it’s the cheapest I’ve seen the game priced at - Harvest Moon 3D: The Tale of Two Towns is $20.52 on Amazon right now.
And if you missed it earlier this week, Amazon is also running a big “Buy 2, Get 1 Free” deal for over a thousand games, including several quality 3DS/DS and PSP/PS Vita titles. Included in the sale are Super...

“The Slowpoke story started in my senior year. My best friend Jessica would do a...”
– Since we’ve turned ourselves into the go-to site for weird Pokemon stories, this seemed appropriate to post here. It’s the start of a strange but interesting story about this hippo-ish character from artist Scott Benson.
The tale goes along with this wonderful piece he created for...

Happy birthday, Nintendo 3DS!
Can you believe a year has already passed since the Nintendo 3DS launched in North America? I found it hard to accept, until Reggie’s Mii showed up on my system via SpotPass this morning to tell me it was all true.
What did you enjoy most about the system in the past year? What did you hate about it? And what do you think the portable has in store for us in its second year?
By the way, I...

Buy 2 Get 1 Free sale on SM3DL, MGS3D, RE:R, and... →
Amazon’s been quiet in recent months when it comes to Nintendo 3DS sales — at least compared to what we saw during the last holiday season — but it’s come back with a new “Buy 2 Get 1 Free” deal for more than a thousand titles, including a few nice 3DS releases.
Notable portable games on sale include Tales of Abyss, Resident Evil: Revelations, Super Mario 3D...

Dreamrift's Epic Mickey 3DS isn't a trick; it's a...
There was enough reason for excitement when we learned that Dreamrift, makers of 2D gems like Monster Tale and Henry Hatsworth, is working on the 3DS version of Disney’s upcoming Epic Mickey games.
Hype levels are now pushing up even further after Nintendo Power revealed that Epic Mickey 2: Power of Illusion is a follow-up of Sega’s Illusion series on the Genesis, with hand-drawn...

GameStop lists 3D Classics Kid Icarus for $6 (but... →
Nintendo of America hasn’t said anything about releasing 3D Classics: Kid Icarus as anything but a pre-order bonus for Uprising, but GameStop provides evidence that a standalone release is coming.
The retailer has listed the download with a $6 price tag. You can’t currently order it (there’s a confusing pairing of “Not Available” and “Available Now”...

Dreamrift making Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion... →
The online preview for the April issue of Nintendo Power reveals a new 3DS game coming alongside Epic Mickey 2 for consoles. It’s called Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion, a title that seems designed to be reminiscent of classic Mickey side-scrollers.
The most interesting part is that the developer is Dreamrift Games, the studio founded by the Henry Hatsworth team, who went on to make...

Kid Icarus: Uprising for $30* →
Eric and I have been loving Kid Icarus: Uprising multiplayer, and I hope we get to keep playing it despite our crazy schedules. If you want to maybe get in on that (it’s fun even without us), a couple of retailers have dropped the price of the game.
Best Buy has it in stock for $29.99 right now. Amazon is also selling it for $29.99, buuuuuuuuuuuuut copies won’t be in stock until...

In which I'm kind of embarrassed about how much I... →
My Kid Icarus: Uprising review has just gone up on Joystiq, and it’s … I’m going to say “comprehensive.” That’s my euphemism of choice this time.
There’s just so much to talk about! It’s a complicated game, with complicated controls. Controls that made me really dislike the game at first — I came back from E3 convinced that it was a big old...

WayForward making Adventure Time DS!
“Who wants to play video games?”
Pendleton Ward, creator of Cartoon Network’s cherished program Adventure Time, has revealed that the show will receive a DS game later this year, courtesy of WayForward Technologies (Aliens: Infestation Mighty Switch Force).
I’m a little disappointed that it’s not for 3DS (a few early reports have called it a 3DS project), I still...

Nintendo setting up haunted hotel in SF for Spirit...
To promote Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir, Nintendo is turning San Francisco’s San Remo Hotel into a hella spooky haunted house on March 30. It’s so spooky that nobody under 18 will be admitted. It’s so spooky that only media will be allowed in between 6:30 and 8:30 (it’s well known that video game journalists are all expert ghost hunters.)
You’ll also get an...

“Nintendo 3DS owners who have installed the free Swapnote application can receive...”
– Nintendo’s treat for SwapNote users this week. It almost makes up for the lack of a Virtual Console release!
I had totally abandoned Swapnote in recent months, as I’ve been too busy with Tekken 3D, Sakura Samurai, and Kid Icarus: Uprising (plus my wife has been spending a lot of time...

Theatrhythm hitting the U.S. this summer
Yes, that Nintendo 3DS Final Fantasy rhythm game from Square Enix and Indies Zero is actually coming to North America, with its silly name intact even! Theatrhythm Final Fantasy is headed to Europe this summer, too.
I know there are quite a few people who scoff at the idea of paying $40 for a simple looking rhythm title (along with paid DLC, if you want more than the 70+ included songs), but...

GameStop eases into eShop sales →
Anything that helps more people discover Pushmo is a good thing — like GameStop now carrying that and one other 3DS eShop game (Super Mario Land 2).
Okay, so the selection of eShop codes at GameStop isn’t exactly comprehensive, but you can buy Pushmo with trade-ins now, and that’s neat. Also, it’s infinitely more selection than GameStop’s DSiWare offerings. There...

Get Okamiden for $20 today →
I’m surprised Okamiden has held its price as well as it has, having been at the $30 mark since its release just over a year ago. You can at least get a temporary discount on it, as Amazon has dropped the price of the action-adventure game to $19.99 for today only.
If you’d like to read more about Okamiden, I happen to have this Joystiq review right here.
Buy: Nintendo 3DS console...
