If you pre-order Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D from UK retailer GAME, you’ll receive a special bag and keyring.
EB Games Australia is also handing out a pre-order bonus. Reserve the 3DS game and the retailer will provide you with a Donkey Kong tie. A pretty nice bonus if you ask me!
Amazon has taken 33% off the original price of Injustice: Gods Among Us.

The Wii U eShop now has a section dedicated to showcasing 3DS games. #CrossPromoting twitter.com/GameplayDev/st…

The Wii U and 3DS eShops technically aren’t connected, but it is possible to look up 3DS titles through the Wii U store. Perhaps in an effort to promote this functionality, the Wii U eShop now has a section showing off 3DS games.
You can look up a variety of 3DS products and information straight through the Wii U eShop. It’s just a shame this feature isn’t extended further.

The time has probably long since past during which a review of Fire Emblem: Awakening would have been suitable, so instead of going through the paces of telling you what you need to know in order to make an informed decision about whether or not to purchase the game, I’ll start off here with this: It’s probably the best game on 3DS, and even those with a distaste for the franchise’s previous entries will find something to like about it. If you haven’t played the game yet, please do so before reading what I’m about to write, because what I’m about to write will be filled with minor spoilers and negative thoughts about a game that is best played before hearing either of those things!
This is part one of a two or three part series on Awakening in which I’ll be doing my best to intelligently discuss some of the finer points of the game. These are things that everyone I’ve talked to has neglected to mention exist, either out of blind adoration for the title (which is fine– everyone gets that way about some games), or because they simply didn’t notice them.
Hit the break for the actual thing.
So at the very beginning of this video I say the whole “This episode is brought to you by thing”, but you’ll notice that there are no ZombiU images. Somehow I just forgot to add them, so… we’re gonna hope I didn’t forget anything else! That’s what you get when you stay up until 7AM editing in order to get the game up on a relevant date.

Podcast or no podcast, I will defend this game until the day I die.
Your weekly news, what we’ve played, and reader questions all make their return, but this week also featured another heated discussion on Zelda, lots of talk of Nintendo’s future amidst the lack of Madden, more elongated Mario RPG talk, and a solid discussion of Shadow of the Eternals. Enjoy!

Zelda: Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword possess very different art styles. Whereas Twilight Princess is rather dark and brown to fit the atmosphere, you could say that Skyward Sword is much more colorful.
One passionate fan has come up with an intriguing mix of the two games. GBAtemp member “disbala” is working on a Twilight Princess texture pack (requires Dolphin) that incorporates the style of Skyward Sword.
While not complete, you can already see how noticeably different Twilight Princess looks with Skyward Sword’s style. You can find a few example shots above.
Thanks to Yono for the tip.
