I actually didn't get one till late 2010 (Black DS Lite). To be honest I was quite comfortable with it. I'm just tempted by what reviewers say of "improved 3D", and I don't really like my "Aqua Blue" color that much. At the same time the XL though it looks bulky and plasticy, and will cost me an extra 80 quid

I just gotta keep this tagged... it's really a dry spell regarding news and rumors!!

So, nothing new then... But I can't find Fifa anywhere - so this is probably bogus.

Here is a personal message from Iwata that he gave at Nintendo's annual report

2K's president thinks Ccarnival Games was one of the best games on the Wii

Christoph Hartmann, the head of 2K Games, admits that he and his team did not develop many games for Wii. Hartmann claims that 2K Games is very careful and selective with which games it brings to a certain platform – Wii U included. 2K Games’ Carnival Games for Wii was, according to Hartmann, probably one of the best titles for the six-year-old console.

So would you say that 2K is taking a more cautious approach to the new console? It seems to be the opposite of Ubisoft, who are very gung-ho about the Wii U launch. How does it fit for 2K?

“It is not different from what we have always done. We are very careful and very selective here. When you look at the Wii, we didn’t do many titles, but we put out Carnival Games, which did very well. It was probably one of the best titles. While you can’t plan for it all the time, we don’t throw 10 things against the wall and assume that two stick. I throw two at the wall and hope two stick, perhaps one. We have a very different approach, which has a lot to do with the size of the organization and the mindset of the organization. We always focus on one thing, and we are a very different organization than a lot of the other publishers out there.”

God... Damn... that actually makes sense...

Hmm... I swear, I've seen this game before, but I can't quite put my finger on it.



This game is called BlockShift, which just released today, and it's on Android. I think I know this game, but I can't remember the title.

Aug 03, 2012 by Ra There are reports from a few people coming in that say the 3DS screen scratching issue is still a problem on the 3DS XL. As you can see in the image above, it certainly does look like there's the beginnings of scratches. I don't have any on my system yet, but now I'm worried! Thanks to VGamer for the heads up!

Oh god no! Don't say that! That's one of the reasons why I didn't get the original 3DS!!

You can just go buy it.

95% of the people getting these 'scratches', just don't know how to handle their stuff. These are the people that Slam (with the capital S) their DS' shut and are the people that find it strange when their PS3 dies when it's Clogged with dust.

I fear I'm might be one of those peeps =( I DON'T know how to handle a 3DS (or my Wii for that matter). I don't in any way abuse my stuff, but I don't clean out the dust or anything like that either... Only thing I vacuum clean from time to time is my computer.
