When I was a kid, I loved the I Spy series of books. I’ve owned quite a few different editions, including the original I Spy and my personal favorite I Spy: Haunted House. To this day I’ll occasionally go back and glance through them, noticing little things I never did before and getting a little blast of nostalgia from many years back. When I received an e-mail from Scholastic Media offering me a review copy of the game, I certainly couldn’t refuse. After all, what’s better than the content of several I Spy books all in one cartridge? Well, apparently quite a bit…
This information comes from Shu Takumi…
“I can only guess as you would – but perhaps this would be the last…? …I did try out 3DS at E3 and I was flabbergasted to the 3D technology as a long standing fan of the idea since the days of virtual boy. I’d love to see GTPD in 3D but… you know what you have to do for that to come true!”
This isn’t surprising, as the 3DS is just on the horizon. In a few months from now, Nintendo’s new portable will already be out in major territories. In order for Ghost Trick, though, I’m sure the title would need to obtain decent sales.
Thanks to Robert for the tip!

If you bought any PAL version of Super Mario Galaxy 2, then congratulations! Nintendo automatically assumes that you’re a moron! As well as featuring in-game tutorials and demonstrations, the game comes with the usual instruction manual, a shortened “pull-out” version showing the control scheme, an instructional DVD titled “Super Mario Galaxy for Beginners” and yet another manual explaining the DVD.
Kind of overkill.
