Kirby stars in his first RTS title.
In addition to a brand new Kirby title for the Wii, Kirby Wii, Nintendo has been hard at work on one for the DS as well, titled Kirby: Mass Attack.
While the game doesn't do much with the unique features of the 3DS, it brings the popular home console experience to players' pockets.
With the launch of the 3DS, EA is finally able to bring The Sims franchise to the handheld space in its complete form. Offering a complete life simulation in stereoscopic 3D, The Sims 3 will allow players to perform the functions formerly seen in only the console or PC equivalents.
There’s no Franchise mode or multiplayer, but you can draw out your own plays from the line of scrimmage with the touch screen – oh yeah, and that whole stereoscopic 3D thing.
Showing up at the party early, Madden NFL Football is jumping its typical release schedule to be available for the 3DS launch. Unlike most titles in the series, the game doesn’t bear the year in the title, making it somewhat of a special release. As such, the game isn’t quite as complete as the typical yearly Madden release. Based on the 2011 roster, the game does offer a variety of gameplay modes, but lacks both multiplayer and the series’ trademark Franchise mode.

Ivy the Kiwi? is also coming to DS, how does the concept carry over?
If you haven't read our Wii coverage on Ivy the Kiwi? yet, I strongly suggest you do. Essentially, Ivy the Kiwi? DS is no different from the Wii version aside from how you control it, and even that is mostly the same.
Yuji Naka's latest effort may be simple, but it's extremely enjoyable.
As some of you may already know, I've had quite a bit of hands-on time with Ivy the Kiwi? thanks to my import copy of the Japanese title. You may also know that XSEED is bringing that title to America, with as far as I can tell, two simple but highly effective changes.
Golden Sun, how I’ve missed your warm embrace.
Golden Sun: Dark Dawn cycles to a familiar rhythm, but a brighter presentation makes it all the more inviting.
An old classic returns… or does it?
Proximity mine battles or Man With the Golden Gun - for many classic gamers, these phrases can only correspond to one game, a game many have dubbed the greatest first person shooter of all time: Goldeneye 007 for the N64. During its time, this game set a very high standard for first person shooters that many developers have strived to reach, but have failed to meet.
Mortal Kombat is done messing around with its return to 2d gameplay.
After sitting in a line without moving for nearly an hour, I was about rip out some spines after getting inside the Mortal Kombat demo. Luckily, the game did all of that for me. The developer demoing the game showed us the brutal return to the franchise's roots, and its never looked better. The moves now feature a see through effect for when characters hit their opponents particularity hard. Showing bones breaking and muscles tearing through the skin, it really makes for some awesome presentation.
de Blob is back for more paintin' and liberatin'.
A couple years ago, an innovative and intriguing Wii game hit the market from THQ. de Blob was its name, and it brought some amazing music and fantastic platforming gameplay to the Wii. While the game was very good, it did suffer from some small issues, particularly with the jumping which was executed via waggling. Additionally, there was some tedium in terms of gameplay. de Blob: The Underground is a follow-up to that game, which seeks to improve the issues that were a detriment to the original.
