The 2011 holiday gaming season is underway, and there are plenty of 3DS games to look forward to over the next few weeks. Even as we head into 2012, games like Luigi's Mansion 2 and Kid Icarus are on the horizon. Things are looking up for the 3DS, but Nintendo should really kick it into gear and announce these five first-party titles for its 3D handheld.
TK-Nation's Cassandra Khaw was blown away by this exemplary example of a Samus Aran cosplay. Yuki LeFay gets extra credit for having gone all the way and using full-fledged armor instead of stretchable materials of any variety.
"Last week’s Electronic Theatre Sunday Special was the run down of Top Ten Videogame Heroes; featuring the protagonist you loved like Sam Fisher, Sonic the Hedgehog and Link. So to prove that the games industry isn’t just a man’s game, this week we focus on the Top Ten Videogame Heroines. Ten of the females that got you hot under the collar, and not in the Dead or Alive Paradise way, but stayed on track with the heroic mission which faced them have been chosen for this week’s feature article."
Although not a name you would as much as associate with new age gaming, Yoshio Sakamoto, who after making his debut on Donkey Kong Junior, went onto making Kid Icarus and ofcourse, Metroid. Metroid is a series that has done nothing but moved from strength to strength since it's very first game back in 1986. IGN look into the depths of this fantastic series from Nintendo, and they look into how the series started.
"It's early on a Saturday and it looks like the crazies are already coming out. It appears that there is a rumor going around that Jessica Simpson, the former Nuclear Scientist and MIT graduate (j/k), is slated to play Samus Aran in the upcoming Metroid movie that is supposedly directed by Uwe Boll?"
"While the women in fighting games tend to get the most attention for being considered "sexy", their cousins in the action genre are out shooting it up and exploring boundaries well beyond the confines of a ring. Just because these characters are rendered in more than bikinis doesn't mean they're not sexy.
The action genre has been dominated by male characters since the creation of gaming. But there have been a few exceptions to the rule of sexes. And of course, these female exceptions have..."
"Video games are packed with a lot of outrageous and interesting characters. One of the most intriguing things about gaming is that male gamers never have a problem playing as women. Maybe that’s because the female characters aren’t designed to look tough like the male characters. We’ve picked the five hottest female characters in video games."
Nintendo is known for some of the best video game franchises in the history of the industry. This past decade saw the debut of many great new franchises from them.
"It's been four full years since the introduction of the Nintendo DS. This dual-screen, touch-screen handheld was a system first received with skepticism when it launched in the US in November of 2004. Over time, it began to prove itself. The dual-screened handheld that had everyone, gamers and developers alike, scratching their heads has become the most popular and most purchased piece of video game hardware.
But it's not on the strength of the hardware alone. The reason why Nintendo's DS ..."
"It's a common occurrence reviewing Nintendo DS games: the occasional release will feature online support using the established Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection service and the Nintendo DS system's inherent Wi-Fi capabilities. To test out the support, we'll hop on the service and try to play a match-up with someone else across the globe just to see how well or poorly the feature's been implemented, checking to see how well the game holds up to the usual internet lag.
To get things going, we'll try..."
Three key developers from the fabled studio behind the Metroid Prime games have broken away and formed their own house. Mark Pacini, Todd Keller and Jack Mathews have already signed an exclusive publishing deal with EA and are set to work on new IP's. It's rumored they may be making games for the 360 or PS3.
Starting August 15th at 6PM CST, TheSpeedGamers will be hosting a event called "Metroid Marathon" to help raise money for St. Jude Children's Research Hospital, who aim to cure sick children. The marathon lasts 72 hours.
The "Metroid Marathon" will consist of nine Metroid games, including Metroid, Metroid Prime, and Metroid Fusion. If you want to see all of the games that they are playing in order, hit the source.
In addition, TheSpeedGamer will also be offering prizes for completing a...
"Nintendo has denied internet reports that the Metroid Prime Trilogy in its entirety is coming to Wii.
According to GoNintendo, a tipster claimed that the computer system of a retailer had a new Wii game listed as 'Metroid Prime Trilogy'.
Internet speculation jumped to the obvious conclusion that Metroid Prime 1, 2 and 3 were being repackaged as one and the GameCube games were being revamped for the console.
But speaking to CVG, Nintendo labelled the rumour as "Purely rumour and spe..."
