I still can’t believe how shameless this ripoff is. At least Nintendo is probably aware about this by now given the fact that it’s received a great deal of attention from the media.

Nintendo has announced a final Japanese release date for Kid Icarus: Uprising. It’s due out on March 22 for 5,800 yen. The game will be packaged in with six AR cards and the stand that we mentioned last night.

Uprising’s Japanese website received an update today. It reconfirms Slide Pad support, which will be beneficial for left-handed users.

We also have a sneak peak of the Japanese boxart:

Nintendo of America has posted the English version of the second Super Mario 3D Land tips/tricks video. It’s essentially the same clip as the Japanese video, but it’s certainly worth watching it again!

Nintendo has been handling WiiWare demos in a very strange way. New trials have been added periodically, but the Big N has been removing them just a few weeks after they’ve hit the Wii Shop Channel.

Today has brought us a bit of a surprise. All 50 demos that were previously added to the channel can be downloaded once more.

I have no idea if this is an error, or if Nintendo realized the errors of their ways. Let’s hope it’s the latter!

Thanks to Jake for the tip!

Reggie once again seems to hint at some Wii U news before E3. Toward the end of the video, he said, “we’ll share more information between now and E3 and after E3.” Maybe we’ll receive some information during GDC?

The PlayStation Vita has been having a tough time in Japan these past few weeks. Sony, however, is remaining positive. This is partially due to the recent success of the 3DS.

SCEE president and CEO Jim Ryan told MCV that the 3DS’ big sales during Christmas “is confounding the naysayers who say that there is no room in the market for a dedicated handheld gaming device.” Ryan’s comment was likely in response to analyst predictions that handhelds made for gaming – like the 3DS and Vita – will eventually be phased out.

Ryan’s full remarks are as follows:

“One of the encouraging things about 3DS’ sales performance at Christmas is that it is confounding the naysayers who say that there is no room in the market for a dedicated handheld gaming device. And to that extent we were encouraged by how 3DS did over the last month.”

Ryan also said that “There are two distinct markets” when asked if the appetite for 3DS poses a danger to Vita.
