Just as expected, the highlight of this week's Nintendo Channel update is undoubtedly the demo for Dragon Ball: Origins 2. If you're looking for anything beyond that, you'll likely be disappointed. Aside from a new episode of Nintendo Week, it's slim pickings on the Nintendo Channel this week.
Head past the break for the full list of this week's content.

The Citadel, home of the Council and the single largest structure in the Mass Effect universe, is impressive enough when you see it in-game. Seeing it recreated in LEGO form just brings a smile to your face. More »
You come to Joystiq for the scoops, and we've got a dilly for you. The ESRB has recently posted a listing for Alien Breed 2: Assault, presumably the follow-up to Team 17's Alien Breed: Evolution for 360. Scooped! ... Well, you probably want to put this news up on your Tweetos or FaceZone, so we'll leave you to it.
... What's that? You say that Alien Breed was announced as a trilogy, so a listing for a second one is about as surprising as a sunrise or a Lady Gaga image reinvention? You say that we're desperate to make anything a news story because it's Memorial Day, and everyone's busy grilling meat and memorializing things, not making games?
Well, great, now you've made things uncomfortable for everybody. Look at Ludwig, he ran off to his room because you hurt his feelings so much. Look Deborah -- can we just not do this today? Can we, for once, spend a holiday eating our Jell-O salad in silence and acting like a family? For once?

Fahey asked, no begged you to help unlock the new Scott Pilgrim Vs. The World trailer. And now it's unlocked and I'm sitting here watching it. Pretty cool. More »
If you're looking to recreate some of the parlor games played in Red Dead Redemption, Rockstar's store has been updated to include a wide variety of instruments you can use to do so with the utmost authenticity. Now available on the store are a handful of "Collector's Packs," which include Rockstar-branded playing cards, dice, TNT-shaped candles and "Eradicator Soap," which promises to be "Tough on Blood and Manure." We certainly hope those two aren't frequently a problem for you.
There are also a few new shirts from Redemption and, of course, copies of the game itself available on the storefront. Sadly, there's no option to purchase Donkey-Lady action figures, but maybe we'll get those in a later batch of merchandise.

LARP stands for Live Action Role Playing. It's when someone literally plays the role of a fictional character while gaming. Still confused? Here's a handy guide to the practice, which depending on the player can be either awesome or creepy. More »

The chop shop team at Thretris have come up with another great way to make an old Nintendo console better: make it look like something out of Tron. More »
You know who I think needs to show a little more love to Donkey Kong? I think Nintendo is to blame! Donkey Kong has been around since the first days of Nintendo’s gaming adventures, but they don’t pay enough attention to this giant ape. I’m tired of him playing second banana in [...]
Arc Rise Fantasia isn’t going to make the June 20th release date that we’ve been hearing for awhiel now. Instead, the title has been pushed back to July 20th. No word on why the game needed a one-month delay, but let’s hope we get a better product for it. Just thinking about [...]
“…When we start the game he is not a Decepticon, he’s a guy in charge of a certain component of Cybertron and we find out what his backstory is. He and Megatron have a discourse over the very first level of the Decepticon campaign about having Starscream sign up to be a Decepticon. At the [...]
Sony Japan has announced the first games to be updated for 3D in that region -- a set of games corresponding to those included with Sony Europe's Bravia promotion. Super Stardust HD, Pain, and WipeOut HD will all be patched to support 3D for those in Japan with fancy enough TVs on June 10.
Like in Europe, new Bravia buyers in Japan will be treated to all three of these 3D games for free, along with a 3D MotorStorm Pacific Rift demo. For those not buying a new TV, the 3D update for WipeOut and Super Stardust will still be free (even if the games aren't). Pain, however, lives up to its name with a ¥300 ($3.28) charge to add the new 3D mode.
Now that near-identical details and launch dates have been released for 3D support in Japan and Europe, we can safely guess that a similar promotion will be on the way in North America.
A few Japanese retailers have put up a listing for what looks to be a collection of Art Academy titles crammed onto one DS cart. As you know, the Art Academy series has been released on DSiWare over the past few months. It looks like the downloads have done well enough to warrant [...]
