Star Fox 64 3D Review
Posted by IGN on Sep 02, 2011 | Leave a Comment
It’s hard to believe 14 years have passed since Star Fox 64 first landed on the Nintendo 64. Fast forward to today, and the title has leapt into the spotlight once more with its very own 3DS remake. But does Star Fox 64 3D live up to the original? In short — absolutely.
Star Fox 64 3D – Corneria: Falco’s Route
For those new to the series, Star Fox 64 3D offers a part flight simulation, part shooter adventure. You take control of Fox McCloud and, with the help of a host of...
GO Series: Fishing Resort Review
Posted by IGN on Sep 02, 2011 | Leave a Comment
The latest release in DSiWare’s budget-friendly GO Series is a lighthearted fishing sim. GO Series: Fishing Resort casts you as a young kid casting his line out into a little lake, looking to reel in the big ones and ultimately become a master fisherman.
The gameplay is done fairly well, as everything’s stylus-controlled and the fishing process is broken down into different touch screen sequences. Casting your line is a simple tap on the lake surface and hooking a fish is a well-timed...
Pac-Man Review
Posted by IGN on Sep 02, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Pac-Man is a great game, but this is not a great version of it. This edition of the 1980 arcade classic is an emulation of its 1991 Game Boy port. At that time, in 1991, this portable version was wonderful – playing Pac-Man on a handheld was a rare treat, and its conversion’s compromises were understandable. But now, 20 years later, this take on Pac is way too outdated to go back to.
The lack of color takes away part of the game’s fun and strategy, as you can now no longer tell...
House M.D. – Episode 2: Blue Meanie Review
Posted by IGN on Sep 02, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Small-time developers Legacy Interactive scored a big-time license when they nabbed the exclusive rights to Fox’s incredibly popular medical drama House M.D., but the planned DS version of the game they developed never made it to market. Instead, now, its content is getting separated into episodes released one at a time through DSiWare.
Episode 2: Blue Meanie follows Dr. House and his team as they attempt to diagnose and treat a patient who’s come down with an ailment previously only...

Star Fox 64 3D is set to barrel roll into our lives on September 9 — just over a week from now. I’ve been busy flying through the game and gathering my thoughts for the review, which you can expect to land in the next day or two.
As you wait for the review, and for the remake of this Nintendo 64 classic to finally hit store shelves, whet your appetite with the following boss battles. After you’ve had your fill, don’t forget to let us know what you think in the comments section...
Nintendo eShop Update: Pac-Man, House and 10 NES Games
Posted by IGN on Sep 01, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Well Ambassadors, the day has arrived. Today’s September 1 and the rollout of free games has officially begun – 10 NES titles are now available for download on your 3DS. Have you grabbed them yet? If not, hit up our How to Download the Free NES Games guide to make them your own.
Such an overwhelming outpouring of free content puts the normal weekly eShop Update in a bit of a weird position. It would have been understandable if we’d gotten no other new releases at all – what...
Nintendo’s Conference Focuses on 3DS
Posted by IGN on Sep 01, 2011 | Leave a Comment
A week ago, word started circulating that Nintendo planned to hold a press conference just ahead of the 2011 Tokyo Game Show. The topic was unknown, though speculation centered on new products for the Nintendo 3DS.
While Nintendo is keeping attendance very limited, it does plan to live stream the event in some fashion. In addition, the publisher confirmed the focus of its announcements will be related to the Nintendo 3DS. Specifically the company has said it will be a “new product announcement...
Pac-Man and House Lead This Week’s Nintendo Downloads
Posted by 1UP on Sep 01, 2011 | Leave a Comment
The ten free NES games for 3DS Ambassadors were meant to be the big downloadable release today. With those becoming available yesterday, today’s Nintendo Download update isn’t quite as good as it otherwise would have been.
3DS gets a single new game all to itself: a port of Pac-Man for Game Boy. For $3.99, you can enjoy the old Game Boy version of Pac-Man in its monochromatic glory. It’s not especially exciting with the recent Championship Edition versions making the original...
Sonic Generations 3DS Ain’t No Compromise
Posted by IGN on Sep 01, 2011 | Leave a Comment
One of the first games I ever owned was Sonic the Hedgehog on the Game Gear. I took it everywhere, a security blanket with buttons. So it was more than a touch nostalgic to get hands-on with Sonic on the 3DS, with its comparable form-factor and vividly-coloured screen. And I guess that’s the point of the game itself. Sonic Generations is all about reliving the past, commemorating the history of one of video games’ most iconic characters. It’s both a retrospective and a love letter.
