  • New Nintendo 3DS XL - Super Nintendo Entertainment System Edition Announced by Nintendo

    That headline reads like a poor editing job on my part, but it is 100% correct. Nintendo announced today the "New Nintendo 3DS XL - Super Nintendo Entertainment System Edition" via Twitter.

There, that's so much easier to understand, isn't it? It comes out on October 13, at least in Europe....

    Shenmue III First Teaser Trailer

    Hey look, it's a teaser trailer for Shenmue III. It features some lovely environmental art and uh... I'll just say it, those character models, specifically the faces, look downright terrible. I can only assume (hope) that the models are still very much a work in progress.
    The first teaser of Shenmue III is built from a small slice of an in-development build of the game, and it delivers small peeks in new look of main characters, new characters, and feels of Shenmue world.
