We don’t know what’s going on over at Club Nintendo, but the site is taking a little rest right now. We’ll keep eyes peeled for new features when it returns! Thanks to all those that sent this tip in.

The Munchables has an absolutely fantastic boxart that really attracts your eye. The bright, bold colors can help attract your attention, even when the title is standing in a sea of other game boxes. I’d say there’s hardly a young kid that could pass up this boxart. They’ll at least pick it [...]

Not quite sure what would make someone want to turn the Street Fighter cast into bunnies, but the results are surprisingly cute!

This fiery sorceress brings down the house.

When Forza Motorsport 3 ships on October 27, the retail package will include two discs: One with the actual game and a second with additional content. While the process of importing the tracks from disc two is a relatively simple procedure, we've developed a quick video to show the process in action.In order to get all of the game's additional content, racing fans will need to have 1.9GB of hard drive space available to import the entire disc. However, as outlined in the video, players can also choose which content they wish to install if space (or interest) is an issue. A complete listing of the game's disc two vehicles and circuits can be found after the break.Also of note: Microsoft has revealed all new copies of Forza 3 will include a download token for ten classic vehicles and two additional circuits.

Everything is improved with waggle. It's a fact. Scientifically proven. And yet, Level 5 CEO Akihiro Hino has still seen fit to crush everyone's hopes of a waggle-infused Professor Layton. Hino told Official Nintendo Magazine that the upcoming Professor Layton and the Last Time Travel will conclude the trilogy, though it will soon be followed by the first episode of a new trilogy, entitled Professor Layton and the Flute of Malevolent Destiny. That's wonderful, and we're sure handheld puzzle enthusiasts will be thrilled, but Hino notes -- probably followed by a cruel, derisive laugh -- that there are currently "no plans for a Wii release." Frankly, we're shocked at the revelation, as a Wii release of Professor Layton seems like the mannerly, logical thing to do. We're sure the world-famous Hershel Layton would agree.

Some new scans of Tales of Graces have popped up, and they’ve confirmed two big bits of information. Now we know for sure that Tales of Graces is going to have DLC in the form of in-game items and other content. While most content will be paid, it seems that there will be [...]

In the second part of our interview with SCEA's Eric Lempel, we chatted about the simultaneous release of PSP Go and PSP minis. In addition to discussing the hands-off approach Sony is taking with the pricing of minis, we talked about the possibility of the minis program moving to PS3, and eventual Mac support for the PSP's MediaGo application.Joystiq: Are any Sony first-party studios working on PSP minis? Eric Lempel: Right now, to my knowledge, they're not. That could change, again, but right now, I don't believe any of the studios are working on minis.What determines the pricing of PSP minis?There are a couple of rules, or maybe there's just one rule. They have to come in at $9.99 or under.If someone wanted to release at $1.99, they could?Yes, absolutely.

This washing machine will really have you feeling the Gs.

The acclaimed handheld GTA experience storms to the PSP.

The game you’ve been anxiously awaiting has arrived, you’ve picked up your reserved special mega conglomerate edition, got home, put it on your table where it stays for a couple of days, even weeks unopened and still in the store bag it came in. Damn you, TrueGameHeadz. I am not losing interest in games, but [...]

click to redeem for a larger screenshot From the first trailer, we've been hankering to see more from Rockstar's open-world treatment of the Wild West, Red Dead Redemption. That said, there was considerable hootin' and hollerin' around the 'Stiq when the dev dished out these latest screens today. As good as RDR looks, its gameplay sounds equally impressive given the demo we got during PAX 2009. The ability to kill everything in the game (well, with the exception of things that aren't alive in the first place -- you win this time, rock!) is perhaps overshadowed only by the fact that you'll be able to tan your own leather and sell it, fulfilling a life-long dream for at least .01% of those who'll play it.Yip-yip yee-haw your way through the new shots in the gallery below, pardners.
