Nintendo

After Burner 3D jets onto the 3DS in an eShop update that also includes Lufia: The Legend Returns from the GameBoy Color and Street Fighter 2010: The Final Fight.

It’s going to be a busy few months for Nintendo fans.

As Nintendo Directs go, this was a pretty packed one.

Video games had a big year in 2014. Gamergate, failed launches, and exciting new games made this past year one to remember, and the new year of 2015 is starting to take shape as another exciting 12 months.

The Nintendo Download is still looking a bit sparse since the Holiday rush, but there are a few decent choices this week, if you’re so inclined.

If you’re a big time Majora’s Mask fan, then you’re probably going to want to pre-order this.

And now, our obligatory look back at our favorite gaming memories and our thoughts on the biggest gaming stories of 2014.

There’s a Bionic Commando in this week’s Nintendo Download, but it’s not the one you’re thinking of.

According to Joystiq, GameBoy classic Tetris is getting the heave-ho form the eShop on the 3DS this New Year’s Eve, along with Tetris Axis.

Apparently, 2014 was not the best 12 month period for good original games. Well, not according to Metacritic anyway.

Do you like anime? Hooked on a particular series of awesomely animated action form the far east? Then you might be pleasantly surprised to see that video-provider Crunchroll is now available on the Nintendo Wii U.

Oh my lord is this game hard. Mega Man Zero on the GameBoy (now on the Virtual Console) is the opposite of a pushover. If that’s too nail-chewingly tough for you, perhaps you’re more in the mood for a little old school grappling?

Ho, ho, ho! It’s time to give (and get) the very best once again and we’ve got a full selection of the greatest games, toys, books and more for you to tear into on whatever day of giving you and yours celebrate around December time.

We already know that the Xbox One is doing quite well for itself this Holiday Season, but it actually looks like the Nintendo Wii U is putting up Holiday as well.

In a segment created for the Video Game Awards this past weekend, Nintendo officially introduced gamers to the newest Legend of Zelda title, and man is it pretty.

Looking to play a little Nintendo while you’re out and about this Holiday? Well, aside from the mall tour, the gaming giant will also have Wii U and 3DS arcades in Best Buy stores this coming Saturday.
