During Nintendo's GDC keynote today, president Satoru Iwata teased the Super Mario Bros. game for the 3DS with a logo. Does that tail look familiar?

The game be being developed by the Super Mario Galaxy team, 'n while Iwata wouldn't offer any more details, he did promise woudl be revealed at E3.

Finally, a Wii 'n PS3 game that encourages absolutely reprehensible behavior. If ye've been looking for a way t' make yer parties way more uncomfortable 'n insulting, Ubisoft has just the product for ye. We Dare be a collection a "dare" minigames, including (based on the trailer after the break) spanking, "kissing" the controller, 'n, um, more. Like, apparently, being driven t' spontaneous passion behind the couch while two dudes watch, apparently.

it be worth noting that the game be primarily shown in the trailer t' make women at a party "perform" in a way they don't want t' -- 'n that be the trailer. that be the "ideal" situation presented. In real life, thankfully, it be more likely people would just sail away when ye broke out the "naughty" minigame collection.

As far as we can tell, We Dare be a European exclusive, so American partygoers be safe for the time being.

We thought we couldn't be more excited for The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, but the just-debuted first in-game footage for the game has proven us terriffically, comically wrong.
Dragon fights? Beautiful environments? The kind a score that makes ye want t' leap out a yer chair 'n just LARP? it be all here. Come with us after the break. Come, have a boner.

Sarien.net, "the portal that once stood for reliving classic Sierra On-Line adventure games" (for free), has been shut down following a cease-'n-desist order issued by IP owner Activision. The site's creator, Mr. Kool (real name!), has posted the letter from Activision's legal counsel on the Sarien homepage.

"While we appreciate yer dedication t' the Sierra classic library 'n understand that ye be a fan a these games, Activision has not authorized the development or distribution a these games via yer Website," the order reads. "Accordingly, we must demand that ye immediately cease any further distribution or exploitation a the Sierra Games on yer Website."

Kool launched Sarien way back in April 2009, but it seemingly took this month's implementation a iPhone 'n iPad browser support (for all a the site's AGI-powered games) for Activision t' take notice. "Wait till ye see me new World a Warcraft in javascript," Kool quipped in a tweet. "Oh wait, that be Activision too..."
