REDMOND, Wash., March 14, 2013 – Pokémon fans will get a jolt of excitement when Nintendo releases the Pikachu Edition Nintendo 3DS XL hand-held system on March 24. This bold yellow Nintendo 3DS XL hardware features a familiar outline of the iconic Pokémon.

Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Gates to Infinity launches the same day as the Pikachu Edition Nintendo 3DS XL system, and draws players in with a deep and compelling story full of unexpected twists.

Nintendo, Next Level on what separates Luigi from Mario
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
Back in the day (pre-Super Mario Bros. 2), Mario and Luigi were completely identical. They looked the same and played the same.
Now, however, the two brothers have separate identities. Luigi is known these days for being a bit of a wimp, and from a gameplay perspective, can jump higher and can be slightly slippier to control.
Nintendo’s Yoshihito Ikebata and a pair of staffers recently discussed the differences between Mario and Luigi. Read their comments below.

When playing Monsters Come Out on Friday, if it detects any usage of Guild01 on the 3DS, players will be rewarded with a digital, mini art book. Pretty neat, aye?
Geisler says he would make another ‘Road Rash’ via Kickstarter, if fans would support it
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Road Rash is an old game. So old, in fact, that its first iteration released back in 1991, and it had 12 subsequent releases including one on the 3DO, one on the SEGA Master System, and one on the Gameboy Advance. Since the GBA version, however, we haven’t seen a single entry in the series despite its success, which prompted one Reddit user to ask game-creator Dan Geisler whether we’d see the franchise return in the future:
– Programmer and co-designer of Road Rash, Dan Geisler
The systems this would come out for and what gameplay mechanics it might use (technology has improved somewhat since the GBA release) remain a secret, but if you see a kickstarter for Road Rash pop up in the near future, don’t be surprised.

Assassin’s Creed III contains a reference teasing what would be the next entry in the series, Black Flag. At one point in the game, Connor mentions that sailing runs in his family and how Edward Kenway – the star of Assassin’s Creed IV and Connor’s grandfather – “sailed with a rough crew”. Take a look at the video above for the pertinent scene.
