Teyon's latest DSiWare design hits the American DSi Shop on Monday.

#e3 There are a lot of things you need to know about Sucker Punch's upcoming Playstation 3 action sequel InFamous 2, but none are as important as this: You can use your powers to hurl city-demolishing, lightning-spewing tornadoes at people. More »

Retail titans Best Buy, GameStop, Walmart and Amazon agree: Kinect will cost $150. Microsoft will not comment on the posted pricing beyond saying that it's speculative. Microsoft's Xbox bigwig Aaron Greenberg wrote on Twitter (twice), "No Kinect price announced yet, retail price estimates are purely speculative, final price & pack-in details are not yet determined."

We understand that the retail listings are speculative, but it may be worth putting aside $1.08 aside every day until Kinect's release just in case -- unless it ends up being more.

Did you know that quite a few developers are working on games for the Nintendo 3DS? It's true! Here's this enormous list of games if you don't believe us. Not on that list, however, is Bit.Trip series developer Gaijin Games. That said, in a recent interview with Gamasutra, Nintendo executive VP of sales and marketing Cammie Dunaway said that the studio "can't wait" to start working on bringing Bit.Trip.Runner to the 3DS.

Just think about it: colors, explosions and music all working in tandem -- but in three dimensions! All kidding aside, the idea of Bit.Trip.Runner on the 3DS sounds like pure insanity. Pure, wonderful insanity.

#feature Metal Gear Solid: Peace Walker is a tale of giant robots and Cold War drama. It may be fantasy, but did you know that in the early 1960s, the US military actually had a giant robot? More »

As we close the books on E3 2010, I’d like to spotlight one of the games we showcased in Los Angeles this week. LittleBigPlanet 2 will be on its way to PLAYers, CREATErs, and SHARErs later this year, so we thought we’d help get this creative juices flowing within our great community. To do this, on June 4th, we invited a selection of talented creators from around the world to come down to the new Media Molecule studio in Guildford (UK) to check out LittleBigPlanet 2 and put the new creation tools to the test.

We gave the 15 attendees 24 hours to go nuts with the new game, allowing them to build anything they could think of. Here’s a look at a video from the event to show you what I’m talking about. And for a complete rundown of the Game Jam, check out LBPCentral.com for impressions written by the creators themselves.

A portion of a Nintendo Life review… It’s fun, enjoyable and can divert your attention for a little while, but after that time you begin to hanker for something more impressive and more original. Download if you’re bored but don’t expect anything different to the norm.

#e3 Certain bodies were needed to work E3 2010. These bodies had to strut, pose, wear armor, professionally wrestle, mock-rap badly (on behalf of another media outlet, I believe) or just sit and look unpleasantly pregnant. Good job, everyone! More »

A pretty mysterious find, don’t you think? You have to wonder why Nintendo would do something like this. It’s certainly a big tease to Earthbound fans, and it would be quite rude of them to do this just to hurt Earthbound fans even more! Thanks to all of you that [...]

SCEA's director of hardware and marketing sat down for an intimate 30-minute chat with us at E3 this year. In the first part of this video interview, we talk primarily about the PSP, and Sony's expectations for the PSP Go. In the second part, we also talk about the PlayStation Network, and Sony's future plans for PlayStation Plus and cross-game chat.

Heading back to the Donkey Kong Country series is treading on sacred ground. Doing it without Rare is an even bigger deal. We know that Retro is a super-talented company, but can they manage to continue a series that was perfected by another developer? If so, they’re going to have to take [...]

It's amazing what a giant, electrified tuning fork and a little Cajun flair can add to a franchise.

Sucker Punch Productions recently invited us to check out a private demo of inFamous 2 -- and no, it hasn't changed the bizarre intercapping since the series' last installment. I think I can overlook that small grammatical anomaly, though, as the other, more tangible changes that are being incorporated into the sequel look pretty amazing.

Also known as the "Pros vs Pubbers" event, the match features a team of competitive players versus a team of highly skilled public-server players. It's a perfect opportunity to see a whole bunch of truly great TF2 players have some truly great fun. Check it out.

Five tracks from Disney Channel superstar/"Achy Breaky Heart" royalty heiress Miley Cyrus arrive on the Rock Band store next week, ready to be played along by empowered tweens everywhere.

Although, if you're considering letting your tween download these, perhaps you should apply a bit of parental discretion first. Four of the songs are also playable in the family-friendly Lego Rock Band, but one ... isn't. See the full track listing after the break.
