Posted by IGN on Aug 03, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Despite the incredible commercial success of the original Nintendo DS, the 3DS has had a rocky start marked by slow sales and a limited software lineup, which has lead to an unprecedented price cut of $80 just six months after launch. With Nintendo scrambling to recover, many are naturally wondering what the future of the 3DS will be, and how it will evolve in the near-term.
With the original DS, Nintendo maintained strong sales by introducing new versions of the device, including the DS Lite, DSi,...

5th Cell’s Scribblenauts series burst onto the scene in 2009 with the well-received original, which has since sold over 1 million units. A sequel–Super Scribblenauts–shipped in 2010 and did not fare as well with critics. Now, it appears a third entry is on the way.

Nintendo’s Apology for 3DS Price Cut
Posted by IGN on Aug 03, 2011 | Leave a Comment
As part of the price cut announcement for the 3DS late last week, Nintendo President Satoru Iwata issued an apology letter to fans explaining the reasons behind the decision.
The letter, translated by IGN Japan correspondent Kiera McNeice, notes a price drop this early on any Nintendo hardware is “unprecedented” in the company’s history, but the cut was necessary to reach a mass audience with the handheld and ultimately “satisfy all those who have purchased the Nintendo 3DS.”

If you wanted to boil the gameplay of Capcom’s Resident Evil series down to just two aspects, they’d have to be action and puzzle-solving.
On the action side of the equation is the series’ signature survival horror — all those tense moments when your heroes are under attack by swarms of zombies, gigantic snakes or infected villagers and you’re forced to defend yourself with far too little ammo.
On the other side, the puzzle-solving moments give your heart a bit of...

Posted by IGN on Aug 01, 2011 | Leave a Comment
Namco has consistently provided some amazing classic collections over the years. With a dearth of 3DS games to play, Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions promised a collection of great old-school, new, and exclusive games. But Dimensions is a weak anthology, and at times is actually a bastardization of two awesome game series. Whoops!
There are six total games in the Pac-Man & Galaga Dimensions: the classic versions of Pac-Man and Galaga, the updated, crazy cool XBLA/PSN versions of both games,...

But does it make the same sense to compare Nintendo’s 3DS and Sony’s PlayStation Vita? Are they really directly comparable?
Did you play LBP on PS3? If not, why play it on Vita?Approaching the two devices from the periphery, it’s easy to see almost...
