PixlBit's 2011 Supplemental Awards

Just when you thought awards season was over...

Last month we announced our Game of the Year award winners by genre, platform and overall game of the year, but we weren’t through showcasing the best that 2011 had to offer.  With so many games deserving of the moniker Game of the Year we have decided to expand our awards ceremony into 2012 with the 2011 Supplemental Awards.  These awards seek to recognize games that excelled in a specific area whether it be through technical achievement, sheer enjoyability or utter disappointment.

3DS Surpasses the First Year Sales of the DS

Nintendo's divisive new handheld only needed 8 months to beat the DS.

The 3DS roller coaster continues today. The system, which had so much positive buzz coming out of E3 2010, released to a collective “meh” from the industry at large, due to a tepid launch lineup and a general waning of interest in 3D. In a shocking move, Nintendo slashed the price of the 3DS down to 169.99 from its original price point of 249.99, and Nintendo President of Japan Satoru Iwata took a 50% pay cut from the debacle. However, it seems to have worked, because we’ve just learned that the 3DS has surpassed the first year sales of the DS, and in only 8 months.

Mario and Link Shatter Records on Black Friday

Apparently Mario and Zelda games sell really, really well.

Nintendo hasn’t been doing so well in the sales department lately.  Wii sales are stagnant, the 3DS got off to a rough start and new titles have been few and far between for both systems.  But even with all that considered, when things look bleak for Nintendo they can always count on Link and Mario to do some heavy lifting and they did just that this past “Black Friday” setting records along the way.

Super Mario 3D Land Review

Taking fun to another dimension.

It’s time to rise up, my friends! It’s time to storm Nintendo HQ and liberate the concentrated fun they slowly leak out to us, the common man. We’ve been waiting years for the next proper handheld Mario game, and they finally deigned to give us… Super Mario 3D Land. Now that we have it we know what we’ve been missing out on and can only wonder what else they must be keeping from us. Super Mario 3D Land is a delicious feast from Nintendo’s fun hoard that is not only a worthy installment in the Super Mario Bros. oeuvre, but it also evolves the series, makes good use of the 3DS’s capabilities, and offers a flawless platforming experience.

UPDATE: PETA vs. Tanooki Suit, PETA says "Mario fans: Relax!"

PETA's new campaign targets Mario's iconic power-up but says it was a "Tongue-in-Cheek" joke.

PETA is saying no to Tanooki suits. Their new campaign is called Mario Kills Tanooki and they claim that Mario is promoting the wearing of fur in real life, not just in the game, by using his Tanooki suit. To further this theory, a flash game called Super Tanooki Skin 2D, in which you play as a skinless raccoon, was created and is playable on the PETA site.

Super Mario 3D Land Hands On Preview

Updated impressions of one of this year's most anticipated 3DS titles: Super Mario 3D Land.

In my opinion, there’s something about the handheld Mario titles that have a certain draw to them. Whether it was the Gameboy color version of Super Mario Bros, or the insanely addictive Mario Kart DS, handhelds have done a great deal for the famous Italian plumber. The 3DS looks to provide even more quality to the already fantastic franchise with Super Mario 3D Land.
