They’re on the game disc, but where are they in the actual game? Two unused tracks from Super Mario Galaxy 2, believed to be map songs. You have to wonder what they were paired up with at some point! Thanks to Austin for the heads up!

Let’s take a look at a moment that didn’t happen all that long ago. North American gamers finally got to see Starfy in a localized game on June 8th, 2009, and it still blows my mind that Nintendo brought one of the titles over here. After all these years, Nintendo suddenly decides to [...]

With no one game in particular standing out in this week's Nintendo Download other than the one with the meerkats in it, perhaps it's one of those weeks laced with hidden gems? Yes, we'll go with that. More »
It's been a while since we last posted about a LittleBigPlanet creation that really knocked our socks off, but maybe that's because we were simply waiting for that superspecial level. You know, a platforming masterpiece that combines Sony spokesperson extraordinaire Kevin Butler with the fast-paced micro-games of WarioWare into a single, functional package. We weren't aware science had progressed far enough to make this fusion possible -- but the very existence of "Kevin Butler Ware" seems to indicate that it has.
Check out the video after the jump to see this extremely clever level in action.
There’s no doubt that the kid in this commercial is playing StarFox, but it doesn’t look like an actual StarFox game. If it’s any StarFox, it’s the one on Super Nintendo. The way the ship moves around seems a bit odd though. Maybe the producer of the commercial wanted to [...]
Reports from anonymous sources are starting to paint a rather surprising picture of the mysterious Nintendo 3DS. Both IGN and Eurogamer report that developers have said off-the-record that the handheld won't use the Nvidia Tegra chip, as it was rumored to do. Eurogamer's sources claim that the 3DS hardware is internally known as "CTR," suggesting that the motherboard image submitted to the FCC in May, which noted the "CTR" codename, was indeed related to the 3DS.
According to IGN, "Several developers that have experienced 3DS in its current form have reported, off the record, that it has processing capabilities that far exceed the Nintendo Wii and bring the device with abilities that are close to HD consoles such as PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360."
We'll find out for ourselves when Nintendo unveils the thing at E3, but this sounds rather uncharacteristic. Nintendo's handhelds have always been designed to use not-quite-cutting-edge technology, to keep costs down and battery life long. We suppose a certain level of processing power is required to generate 3D imagery, especially on two screens, but if these reports are true, the 3DS would represent a totally new strategy for Nintendo.
A portion of a Gamasutra interview with Dylan Cuthbert of Q-Games…
GS: What do you think about the DSiWare platform? There’s not a lot of data out there about how it’s taken off.
DC: Yeah, we don’t get any data either, so I don’t know. I can’t really comment on that. Nintendo would tell me off. (Laughs) [...]
