Those developers have some bear-faced cheek if they think we're paying for this.

So I take it this won't be in 2D like Sonic 4 or Generations? If it's in 3D, I really hope they take notes from Sonic Colours since that was one of his better games.
We don't want another Sonic 2006 Tragedy.

Still got my old GB lying around. The screen cover has fallen off and it's got the same vertical line issue. But apart from that, it still works as well as it did 20 years ago. It's amazing to see the old Boy in action and just realise how far we've come in the last couple of decades. Nowadays, portable consoles boast touch screens, 3D screens, built-in cameras, AR technology etc. But back when you were playing a Game Boy, you had to play in a brightly lit room otherwise you wouldn't be able to see the screen clearly.

I feel old now.

Not sure if this truly practical. Sure,it's good for long journeys, but what happens when you want to go to the toilet? You'll leave it on it's own, meaning there's a good chance that someone will steal it. Not to mention you'll probably get funny looks while playing it.

I think i'll stick to the 3DS for my portabe gaming needs.

The same applies to all consoles. You should NEVER power off your system while it's updating. Or else you risk bricking it.

What else have UFO Interactive released?
Chuck E Cheese Arcade Room ( 1/10 stars)
Retro Pocket (4/10 stars)
Johnny Kung Fu (4/10 stars)
And now this.

Well done UFO. That's quite the reputation you're building there.

Nintendo should get Rik to do their adverts again. Much better than the ones they're showing now!

The eShop is certainly a massive leap forward for Nintendo.

Too bad they've taken two big steps back with the pricing for full retail 3DS games. (£39.99 for downloading New Super Mario Bros 2? Really?)

Good to see americans finally getting wario land. You've all waited long enough!

The hunchpach of notre doom strikes again...

DS sales: 152 million
Playstation 2: 154.4 million

That's the target DS needs to be beat to be the best selling console of all time. It's getting ever so close...

Sad to see you go James. You've been the most professional, realiable and just downright brilliant editor I've ever seen. Not once did I see anything to contradict that.

Thanks for everything you've done and I wish you all the best at Nintendo. No doubt, you'll enjoy it!

It's E3 2008 all over again.

His body is ready!

Well that was pretty interesting. It's made me even more excited for E3 now!

Woah. That wii U pro controller looks awesome.

Grabs popcorn
Ready when you are, Nintendo.

Hear that? That's the sound of cheaters weeping into their tissues. Now we'll see if they keep picking Wuhu Mountain Loop!

Anyone remember the Super Mario All-Stars advert that had Rik Mayall in it? (I think it was only shown in the UK)

My body is ready!

No doubt Sega, Capcom and Namco will probably be re-releasing their back catalouge of 3DS games as digital downloads.

Super Hang-On! I've been waiting for that game for ages! Definitely getting that this week

I would love to see Pilotwings Resort as a download.

As long as they don't copy Sony's pricing (£58 for a game? Seriously?) this could be interesting.

Nintendo DS sales: 151.52m
Playstation 2 sales: 154.4m

A few million more and the DS will be the best selling console ever. Keep it up, DS!

Well, at least they're finally gaining momentium with the 3DS. I'm sure profits will go through the roof next financial year.

Besides, if Nintendo Gamer is to be belived, they have enough money to get through any losses till 2051! Nintendo won't be going anywhere for a while.

Sounds pretty cool

I mananged to get Super Street Fighter 4 3D from GAME for just 98p! It was completely new and sealed. Turns out they had overstocked on Street Fighter and were trying to get rid of them as quickly as possible.

I imagine I'll mostly play The House Of The Dead 4 on PS3 this weekend. And maybe a little bit of Wario Land 1.

I played this as a Mini on PSP. It's good but it's damn hard! Still can't get past level 2. Mind you, I'm playing on the old PSP-1000 and because the screen suffers from 'ghosting' it makes it more difficult to tell which obstacles are coming up.

It's their loss. I'm not gonna miss them.

This is why I love Mario games. It simply appeals to everyone. We hardcore players may enjoy the 3D mario games, but with the 2D games EVERYONE can play them. It's one of the few games that you would play with your family and actually enjoy it.

As for looking back on Mario games, Super Mario 64 will always be my favourite. I had played a couple games before Mario 64, but it was that game that really got me into gaming.

I have a feeling that one of the launch titles will probably be yet another port of Rayman 2.

At the rate these rumours are appearing, they'll be telling us it has a new name, plays PS3 games and can make toast.

I hope this dosen't mean The House of the Dead 4 will be cancelled for PS3. I've been waiting 7 years for it to come to consoles.

Great! A remake of an old arcade game that absolutely nobody asked for!

We can all breathe easy now.
I think the reason for removing the games from Japan's VC was because the Mega Drive was never as popular there as it was in western countries. Hence, not a lot people played Sonic. So when they remove it, not many Japanese players will miss them.

Does it still play games that use the Super FX chip? (Starfox, Yoshi's Island and Doom used it) I heard somewhere that it isn't easy to emulate games that use it, which would explain why these games aren't on Virtual Console.

No doubt Mario Kart 7 will win the Family award. Hope Super Mario 3D Land wins the Handheld award.

@DrCruse
That's pretty cool. I guess there's a lot of potential for Kinect outside of being used for Xbox.

It's amazing to see such humble tech being used in ways like this and making positive changes to people's lives. You don't see this kind of thing with PS3 or Xbox 360!

Victoly is mine!

I've played the previous Samurai Shodowns and I have to say that I enjoyed this one the most. Hope the later sequels make it to virtual console.

"Video games are bad for you? That's what they said about rock and roll"- Shigeru Miyamoto

Because this was the reason we all brought a 3DS, right?

What about their E3 2008 presentation? That was also a big blunder.

"Uggie chilling out by playing Nintendogs+Cats"

I bet he's secretly playing Super Street Fighter 4.

Wow... a new SNES game in this day and age. Hope it turns out to be good.

Wouldn't it be funny if there was a new Mega Drive/Genesis game coming out as well? The 16-bit war would start again!

What the hell is going on at GAME?

Why don't we all agree that tetris and columns are both awesome and leave it at that?

As for Game Gear, it's really cool that Sega is giving us options for how we want to play our games. Especially the 'ghosting' option.
