In case you haven’t heard, Rayman Origins is on its way to the 3DS. Nintendo fans will have a choice of playing the title on a console or a handheld… or both! Anyway, Michael Ancel told Nintendo Power that he’s “excited” about making the game for 3DS. He said to the magazine:

“I am excited to make a game that takes the Nintendo 3DS features into account. That’s something that takes a lot of time, but that’s what every game should do for this kind of system. I’m excited about Rayman Origins on the Nintendo 3DS!”

Tales of the Abyss 3DS is finally out in Japan. It won’t set the world on fire since it’s a pretty basic port, though it’s a good addition to the lineup of games available for the system. Plus, both North American and European fans will be able to play it.


Yes, Nintendo’s initial response about possibly bringing Xenoblade, The Last Story, and Pandora’s Tower to North America was lame. It was short and uninformative. Although they promised an update in the near future, it was not at all worth the wait.

This response, too, is useless and basically confirms what most Nintendo fans have feared: Nintendo of America is not bringing any of these desired titles stateside. Looks like Operation Rainfall is going to have a long, tough battle ahead of them…


28th June 2011 – In preparation for the launch of the new epic RPG, Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii in Europe on 2nd September 2011, Nintendo has created an exclusive pre-order bundle for Xenoblade Chronicles. The bundle will consist of the critically acclaimed game along with a red Classic Controller Pro and features a reversible cover including the alternative cover artwork chosen by fans in our recent online poll. Fans will also receive three exclusive posters electronically signed by the founder of Monolith Software, Tetsuya Takahashi.*

Xenoblade Chronicles takes you to the stunning lands of Bionis and Mechonis. The landscapes are vast, offering over 100 hours of immersive gameplay. Whatever you see in the distance can be reached, giving you real freedom to explore and plot your way around quests. Combat is in real time and you are free to roam the seamless universe without having to endure random encounters, making Xenoblade Chronicles a real departure from traditional RPGs.
