Reminder: Project X Zone Is Out Now And It's Awesome

Fans of massive crossovers rejoice, Project X Zone is out now for the 3DS and it's absolutely insane in all the right ways. With over 50 characters from Capcom, Namco Bandai, and Sega games Project X Zone is the most fan service you'll probably ever see from the three. I recently picked it up and I have to say, it's pretty damn amazing, albeit goofy as all hell. There's something incredibly charming about Frank West from Dead Rising team up with Darkstalkers' Hsien-Ko to fight massive demons, especially with how well animated some of their special attacks are.

If you're a fan of JRPGs, in need of some fan service, or just want an insane experience than Project X Zone is definitely worth picking up. It's pretty rare we get to see these crossover games outside of Japan, and now is the best time to show the support they need to localize more. 

Fractured Soul - A 3DS Title That Will Fracture Your Brain

You have to applaud Endgame Studios for really trying to take advantage of the 3DS's dual screen rather than treating it as a gimmick, opting to deliver a truly fresh experience. If you've ever been fortunate (Or unfortunate) enough to experience Ikaruga, which revolved around a dual sided ship switching colors to absorb different colored projectiles, this premise might seem familiar.

Fractured Soul takes that concept to the next level with one hero and his alternate dimension counterpart progressing through levels, with an awesome looking screen switching mechanic. The result is frantic looking, but I'm sold on the concept. Time to dust off that 3DS! You can get it on the Eshop for $12.

Capcom Forgets Spellcheck

Someone's getting fired....(Via)

One must question HOW this got through any kind of spot-check. Resident Evil: Revelations is the Resident Evil game coming out for 3DS. When Dan Hsu (Co-founder and editor of Bitmob & former editor-in-chief of Electronic Gaming Monthly (EGM)/former editorial director of The 1UP Network) received his advanced review copy he noticed something that is making every single member of the Art Department in the Capcom studios nervous; the game's spine had the title spelt wrong. It's not the first time Capcom has screwed up with cover mishaps however.

In 2008, the Wii re-release of featured a IGN watermark on the box art picture and only some months ago the Xbox 360 version of Super Street Fighter IV Arcade Edition was incorrectly labelled with Xbox without the "360" part. Capcom should really start checking before going to print. It's unknown how many covers with the mistake spine have been sent out but I expect they'll be recalled/replaced soon enough with the eBay auctions soon following.

Legend Of Zelda 3DS Taunts Americans; Europeans Celebrate

It only took a long time, but Nintendo finally released what the fans wanted (Via)

Sometimes being British works in my favor. Especially with amazing exclusives like this absolutely amazing Zelda themed 3DS.

Nintendo of Europe just announced a limited edition, Legend of Zelda-branded black 3DS for release on November 25. It includes a free copy of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. It's frustrating because my 3DS barely has any play outside of Zelda OTT. The early adopters (like myself and Robobrain) are really kicking ourselves right now.

The bundle is properly titled ‘The Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary Limited Edition’ system, and it's beautiful. Check out some legendary shots of the limited edition handheld after the break!

Resident Evil: Revelations TGS Trailer

Resident Evil: Revelations is coming out for the 3DS, which means that unpractical hairstyles are a must. Judging from the trailer, they intend to make sure that you experience every meticulously modeled hair strand coming out at you.

With every announcement and trailer my interest for the title has been growing, and with a very Saw like set-up this looks like it might be a pretty cool new installment of the Resident Evil franchise. Hope it'll be better than RE:5.

Ocarina of Time 3D Just Got More Real

When you have Santa advertising your product? You know it's big.
Who knew Robin Williams knows just as much about Zelda as we do? Turns out that Robin Williams actually named his daughter, Zelda Williams after the video game character when she was born back in 1989, not 1987 as the ad claims.

Ocarina Of Time 3ds Trailer Brings Insane Nostalgia

My 3ds has been gathering dust for nearly 2 months now, due to the incredible lack of titles by Nintendo...The curse of Nintendo early hardware adoption strikes again!  However, this trailer took all my regrets away. This rerelease is looking jaw droppingly good, and that music...Oh god that music brings back so many memories. I'll finally be able to finish the game I abandoned years ago after encountering that infamous water temple on a 2 week N64 rental, with a graphical facelift, in 3d, and with a remastered soundtrack. The game will be released June 16th in Japan, and Nintendo recently announced a June 30 US release date. What are you waiting for? Get your preorder on!

AwesomeRobo: Nintendo 3ds Unboxing!

I picked up the Nintendo 3ds today after a battle over whether to drop the money and a short hunt for a place that still had them in stock, and man..I do not regret it. Having kept myself in suspense about all the extra features, I was amazed at some of the features that Nintendo crammed into the system.

One of my favorite surprises came later, when I messed around with the AG(Augmented reality) feature that turned your desk into an archery range, among other things. The potential of this technology in itself has some amazing potential for creative developers.

Despite the slightly weak lineup of launch titles, there are plenty of amazing titles on the horizon for the system. Super Street Fighter IV convinced me to pick this up on launch day, and I have to say that after a few hours of online play, the purchase was worth it. I look forward to seeing what other titles Nintendo has up their sleeves to show off the potential of the 3ds.  Did you get a 3ds?  Leave your initial impressions or come discuss it on our forums!

Mega64 Covers Nintendo's 2011 Releases

Mega64, our favorite purveyors of comedy just released this video which makes a good point about Nintendo's practices.  If you think about it, every time Nintendo has released a new piece of hardware they have always left their previous generation for dead.

Video and more after the jump!

Starfox, Paper Mario, Mario Kart On The 3DS

This footage was recorded at the 2011 Nintendo World Event.  Its interesting to see that Nintendo has decided to update various classics for the launch rather than go with updates or more original IP's(Like Kid Icarus) for the February launch of the Japanese Nintendo DS.

Starfox 3ds is an update from the N64 days, Paper Mario is the same, only Mario Kart looks like a Gamecube-gen worthy title.  Color us excited if they don't cost $50 a pop.
