We recently featured an article about five unannounced 3DS games that we would like to see Nintendo reveal in 2012. Following up on that idea, here are six games that would fit well on the 3DS in 2012, each coming from a third-party developer that has already pledged support for the handheld. Let the speculation begin on GameRabies!
Bright Hub sorts through the Nintendo Wii library and gives you 25 stellar titles that you may have missed (or mistaken for shovelware). What games were listed between 25 and 21?
The article covers some of the best PS1 games of all time, but there are also a couple of surprises that may come as a little bit of a shock to some. Nevertheless, please do come in and possibly give some of these games a play as they are the pinnacle of gaming goodness.
"The game stars a floppy eared cat-like creature named Klonoa, and his companion Kewpoe, a Ring Spirit that grants the hero his power. Ghadius, an entity of malicious intent, has broken free of a seal to turn the peaceful world of Pantomime into a dominion of nightmares, and it is up to you to stop him. Through exploring the stages within the five main kingdoms of the world, and beating the bosses contained in each, you will find out Ghadius' goals, and the true origins of your heroes. What ma..."
Ah it's that time of year again, when you're going to be browsing websites or running to the mall for last-minute gift-giving. I mean, really, who does Christmas shopping before the week of? Pfft.

"April was a slow month for big blockbuster titles. Fortunately, May is looking like it will pick up the slab with several promising games. Here are the top five new video games to look forward to this month."
Nothing huge to speak of this week, though a few things out of the ordinary have turned up, like Crysis: Maximum Edition, which houses the original Crysis, side-story Crysis Warhead, and the latter game's multiplayer mode Crysis Wars.
Besides that, Wii owners are treated to a remake of the solid platformer Klonoa: Door to Phantomile, and DS owners can experience the classic Jagged Alliance, a Fallout/Shadowrun-ish game which got its start on PC many years ago.
"Now don't get me wrong...I love me some Klonoa. It's right up there with Pandemonium on my list of 2.5D rail platformers. I just don't remember any moments from the original game that made me and anyone else watching simultaneously lean backwards, and I would have remembered something like that."
"NAMCO BANDAI Games Europe announced today that Klonoa will be available in Europe for Wii in 2009. Klonoas long-awaited return offers vibrant graphics, motion control and new secrets to discover in this update to the series debut adventure. Highly revered as one of the best Platform games of the past ten years, Klonoa hopes to ignite Wii owners imaginations with addictive gameplay, exciting stages and a memorable story."
In a press release today, Nintendo has announced release dates for a number of first-party and third-party games headed for the Wii and DS in the second quarter of 2009 (although technically April to June, this includes March as well).
Nintendo itself noted these games as upcoming to the Wii, WiiWare, and Nintendo DS:

Excitebots: Trick Racing - April 20
New Play Control! Donkey Kong Jungle Beat - May 4
Punch-Out!! - May 18
