For 120 coins, you can order a red or blue suede pouche, which you can see above. According to Nintendo, you can place your Wiimote in the pouche, as well as your DS or 3DS (when it comes out, that is…). The red one turns “warm grey” while the blue one turns “cool gray.” In other words, the pouches are reversible.
Thanks to Thomas N for the tip!
Austin and I have been very busy the past few weeks, so Game Night has been on a short hiatus. But if you watched Austin’s latest video which was posted on the site yesterday, you would have discovered that Game Night will be returning tomorrow! While nothing is set in stone just yet, it looks like we’ll be playing a bit of Call of Duty: Black Ops. If you have a different game to suggest, I’m sure Austin would be willing to listen as long as we have enough people to play the title you request! Anyway, make sure you stop by the site at 7 PM EST!

“Obviously we’re excited about the 3DS. We’re looking at what it can do for the consumer market… and the same holds true for Kinect.”
Well, we’ve seen Grand Theft Auto games on the last two Nintendo handhelds. However, everyone pretty much knows that Chinatown Wars failed to light up the sales charts. Will Take-Two/Rockstar take another risk on the 3DS?

Earlier today, we received an official confirmation that Nintendo will be having a conference next month in Europe. However, word on the street is that a North American event will take place on the same day. The Escapist Magazine is reporting that Nintendo has issued for a conference in New York City. The 19th may very well be Nintendo’s day to announce 3DS launch information for overseas territories.
This information comes from Senior producer Kevin Sheller…
“The first two GTA games, nobody knows anything about them, right? Grand Theft Auto 1? Nobody even said that word. They never said two either. It wasn’t until Grand Theft Auto 3 that people really got excited about what they were doing. We look at the first Conduit as our learning experience, our foundation work – and we’ll see where we go from there.”
As much as I wish the guys over at High Voltage the best, something tells me that isn’t going to happen. Right now I think the development team should just be focusing on creating a high-quality product.
