New Dark-type 'mon on the way
The weekly Pokémon show in Japan, Pokémon Sunday, showed a silhouette of a brand-new monster due to be the first announced creature in the forthcoming fifth generation of the popular critter catching series.

News Flipper finally gets a launch date
February 22nd for goldfish hunting fun
Some of you may remember Flipper, an indie title being developed by Goodbye Galaxy Games. The game features a boy traveling though various worlds trying to rescue his pet Goldfish named (surprisingly) Flipper. We've been following the title since its early inception (in part thanks to Hugo Smits and his blog...
News Sonic Playable in Super Mario Galaxy 2?
Will Sonic be touring space with his old rival?
UK magazine Ngamer has posted an interesting tweet on Twitter this afternoon, making a rather bold claim that not only comes right out of the left field and has left us all a bit dazed and confused here at Nintendo Life Towers. We should stress this is currently deep in the realms of rumour territory...
News Sonic & Knuckles Coming to EU Virtual Console on 12th February
Sega due to finally complete the Mega Drive series
It's been a big day for hedgehog fans. Along with the Sonic 4 reveal today, Sega has also let slip that Sonic & Knuckles is now Wii-bound at long last. The 1994 title is a follow-on from Sonic 3 story-wise, continuing the journey of Sonic as he takes down the Death Egg, and Knuckles's path as he...
News Pokémon Lose the Slots From Their Heart and Soul
Risk explosions from Voltorbs instead!
Poké-fans in Europe may remember last year when during their Pokémon journey in Pokémon Platimum they discovered they couldn't play the slots like they could in Pokémon Diamond and Pearl. It seems this trend continues with Pokémon SoulSliver and HeartGold as well, though this time instead of simply picking...

News Iwata Asks About Zelda Handheld History
Ancient documents unearthed, and the US drama that inspired Link's Awakening

News Rumoured Zelda Wii Details Spill Online
Nuggets of rumored goodness hit Japanese forum
The rumor mill has been cranked to the max as the Nintendo corners of the Internet are abuzz with supposedly leaked details on the next Zelda game. Zelda Informer (via GoNintendo) is reporting a handful of leaks coming out of the Japanese forum site 2chan (of which 4chan is a rough equivalent)...
News British R4 Card Importer Shipping Off To Prison
Guilty plea nets 12-month sentence
Don't mess with Nintendo. British resident Yun Can Meng clearly didn't get the memo when he was busy importing approximately 26,500 R4 cards, as GamesPolitics reports that Meng has been sentenced to 12 months in prison for pleading guilty to the charge. Meng was sentenced in Hull Crown Court. R4 cards can be used...
News Mega Man Zero Collection Coming to DS
More Mega Man goodness for Nintendo fans

Review Move Your Brain: Rollway Puzzle (DSiWare)
Tilting fun on a DSi
Move Your Brain: Rollway Puzzle certainly is a brave title. It dares make use of the DSi camera extensively – the last title to do that was Nintendo’s own WarioWare Snapped! and the result was a game that didn’t really work in a lot of lighting situations. The game is based on a maze of 3D platforms, the job of the player...
News Ulala and Crazy Taxi Joining Sonic & Sega All-Star Racing
More characters to be revealed
Sega have released another trailer of the racer being developed by Sumo Digital, showing off Ulala from Dreamcast game Space Channel 5 and Crazy Taxi's BD Joe, which received a rather good GameCube conversion a few years back. It's been announced there will be 24 tracks in total, a healthy amount though just shy of...

Nintendo Europe has announced this morning that the release date for Pokemon Heart Gold and Soul Silver in the UK is 26th March.

News Nintendo No Longer Publishing Metroid Prime Trilogy in US
Get it while you still can!

News More Epic Mickey Details: Inspired by Mario and Zelda
Also includes a dash of Okami and a pinch of Deus Ex

News Time Split: Chronos Twins DX Gets A Date
Time warp platforming hits US WiiWare next week
Our European readers may remember a little DS game called Chronos Twins.

Now we have a much more solid time frame: January 11. Also known...
Review Me and My Dogs: Friends Forever (DSiWare)
Pure bred or pure mutt?
Me and My Dogs: Friends Forever is a curious title: it's unashamed of its Nintendogs roots, but rather than simply following the leader of the pack it earnestly tries to make its own mark. It's a virtual pet sim, focused on raising a small pack of puppies and training them for various competitions. The game is set in a small...

3D chiseling goodness due on February 5th

However, now Nintendo of Europe have piped up saying Picross 3D is now due for Europe on...
