Should you play Tearaway or The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds? Why not both? TDZDaily.com's video game editor Derrick Dover used Tearaway's character editing tools to bring two of the year's best portable games together as one.

Look, sometimes when you're in a hotel you've got to make do with what you've got. And if your 3DS needs a charge, and the only open power outlet is up there, then you use it. But...jeez, that's precarious.Read more...

It's easy to miss, but boy, Pokémon lore can get pretty bonkers sometime. Case in point: the Pokedex entries for X & Y, where you might learn about things that are either amazing, creepy or just plain nonsensical.Read more...

These Pokémon, made by the digital artists of iheartjlp, look really dark and make me feel they're from a not-so-shiny alternate universe rather than from one of the well-known regions. The Jigglypuff on the top right, for example, looks quite serious.Read more...

What took so long? I'm not talking about a LEGO Marvel game. LEGO getting the Marvel license is a relatively new development, all things considered.

Nintendo just turned off one of the online features of the 3DS, seemingly forever, deactivating the online support for its note-sharing SwapNote service on systems worldwide. The company did this, effective 10pm ET today, after saying SwapNote was "actively misused" to transmit "offensive material" among system users, including minors.Read more...

I thought this was just the spotpass aspect of it? Closing the whole feature because kids like to send naked pictures of eachother is stupid, ESPECIALLY when the handheld in question has parental controls that can prevent this from happening in general.
