So, Nintendo has announced that Capcom, Sega AND Namco Bandai are joining forces to make a game for the 3DS. So, what will it be???
All I can think of is Ryu fighting a Tekken character while Sonic jumps around in the background. Too bad the game will probably not feature that, although it might be a fighting game. However, it also could be a game with animals that live in the sky and control giant mech robots, like Solatorobo, one of Namco Bandai's recent releases. Or, it could be a game where you...
Anyway, my point is that the list goes on forever. But, if there's one thing that's for sure we will be hearing a lot more about it in the near future!
Today it was rumoured that Retro Studio's next game will have a hand-painted artstyle. Of course, this has got fans of Retro's Metroid Prime games very excited, even though it has been rumoured that it won't even be a Metroid game, but one starring a different Nintendo character.
So, what is it?
Well, it could be anything, but here's some ideas-
It Could Be-
Zelda 3DS- It has been reported that a new 3DS Zelda game that plays differently to other Zelda games is in the works, and Retro might be the one to make it! Also, Shigeru, creator of the Zelda franchise suggested that Retro Studios would make a great Zelda game.
DK Country 3DS- After making Donkey Kong Country Returns for the Wii, Retro is in great shape for a 3DS sequel.
New Star Fox Game- Well, it IS about time a new Starfox game was made! Also, Official Nintendo Magazine hinted at it when it said "Maybe it's time for Retro to do a barrel roll of a different kind!"
Pikmin 3- I don't know why but why couldn't it be?
It Won't Be-
Skyward Sword 2- There already is a Zelda game planned for the Wii U, and they wouldn't be making a second one.
Mario Paint 2- Sorry MP diehards.
Well, whatever it is, we will probably know at the end of this year's E3!
After writing the review for Pushmo (Pullblox in Australia and UK) yesterday I decided to create my own levels. Now, of course my levels weren't going to be any levels, instead they are based around Mario and Pokemon. So, without further ado-
Now remember, all you need to play these levels are a 3DS with Pushmo or Pullblox on it. Also, you need to have completed the first bunch of stages. ANYWAY, go to Pushmo (or Pullblox) Studio and click on the "scan QR code" button and scan these codes. Easy!

After a slow start, Nintendo is starting to publish some great games for the 3DS, even on the 3DS's eShop there is a flood of new stuff for less than $10! But, how are we supposed to separate the good from the bad? Here's my list of must have eShop games!
Pushmo/Pullblox
Saying that Pushmo is a great game really is an understatement. It is a perfect game! In case your wondering what I'm talking about, Pushmo is a puzzle/platformer game where you push and pull blocks around to get to the top of a level. Sounds simple, right? It might be to start off with, but soon you will be scratching your head wondering how to get to the top of the platform. The best part is that some of the levels are based on Nintendo characters. Meaning you will see yourself climbing Mario's face at one point! Also, there's a level editor along with the 250 levels offered, meaning that you'll never run out of stuff to push! 9.5/10
Sakura Samurai
Another great game, Sakura Samurai may look like any old Samurai brawler, but it's a lot more. It's an RPG with great combat and a wealth of towns, mountains and castles to explore. This one really is hard to explain in one paragraph, so I'll just show you this trailer instead! 9/10
Mutant Mudds
Mutant Mudds is, in short, a retro platformer with great music, a retro artstyle and some of the best level design around. It is great for retro game enthusiasts and casual game players alike, with no shortage of levels (there are 40 of them). Like Pushmo, this one packs a bang for your buck with lots of unlockables and some really simple yet addictive gameplay. 8/10
