Summer ends early for 3DS's eShop
After going HAM for several weeks straight on the eShop, it seems Nintendo of America is returning the 3DS download service to its pre-summer routine, releasing only a handful of forgettable items every seven days. This week: adventure game The Lost Town - The Jungle on DSiWare, and … 3D Solitaire on eShop.
There’s still the aforementioned sale for Game Boy’s Super Mario Land...

Important coverage of a DQX launch line
Dragon Quest X, the Wii MMORPG for Square Enix’s popular franchise, launches today in Japan, and you know what that means: lines of people waiting outside shops!
There’s usually not much to do when you show up hours before the store opens, so people tend to break into smaller groups and just kick it with some strangers for a while. Like in this photo — you have a few guys...

Silent Hill: Timeline of Book of Memories →
I’m really, really happy with this thing that went up on Joystiq today. I worked with Konami and WayForward to present a timeline of the development of the weird Vita game Silent Hill: Book of Memories.
Both companies gave me a TON of never-before-seen early concept art and screenshots, including images of a demo Wayforward put together to pitch themselves as developer. Plus there’s...

Chunsoft's 'Night of the Kamaitachi' to be... →
The last thing I’d expect to hear out of the “Casual Connect” conference is news about vintage Chunsoft “sound novels,” but it happened! Agetec will localize Kamaitachi no Yoru – originally released on Super Famicom but ported to a bunch of other platforms – for release on iOS and Android.

New Super Mario Bros. 2's infinite lives tricks
With all the coins in New Super Mario Bros. 2, picking up extra Mans should be no challenge, but what’s a Mario game without a few infinite lives tricks? It’s not much of a Mario game, to answer your question. Or my question. Or whatever, it’s a question, and it’s answered now.
I have videos of these feats. Let’s start with World 2-4:
World Mushroom-1:

Get Gravity Rush free with PS Vita →
Since it’s pretty much required by law that you need to have Gravity Rush if you own a PS Vita, why not just get the game for free when you buy the system? Amazon is running this deal for its WiFi and WiFi/3G models, and is throwing in a bonus screen protector for good measure.

WatchOut this weekend in Europe and Japan, the Silver and Black Nintendo 3DS XL is a way handsome device, at least in this slick video shot by Kitsuney.
Neither this or the alluring White 3DS XL are coming to America, but here’s a great video for the Red and Block model that is (in Greek with English subtitles).
Buy: Nintendo 3DS XL Red or Blue, Nintendo 3DS
Find: Nintendo DS/3DS release dates,...
