Nintendo 3DS pictures: A closer look

By

After trampling its competitors in the handheld console market with the original Nintendo DS and subsequent DS Lite, DSi and DSi XL, Nintendo turned to three dimensions with the 3DS. It features a glasses-free stereoscopic 800 x 240 pixel 3D display on top, and a LCD touch screen on bottom, which is used mostly for menus. Built-in motion and gyro sensors allow the 3DS to react to motion and tilting. Other notable features of the 3DS include a 3D camera, analog control, and backwards compatibility with almost all existing DS and DSi games. The 3DS will go on sale March 27th for $249.99.

Check back in the next few days for our in-depth review of the 3DS.

How to unlock Jun and Reina’s Character Episodes in Tekken 8

In classic Tekken fashion, Tekken 8 is full of lore, as well as additional "what if" lore content. With a brilliant new story mode and a lot of catch-up material jam-packed into the game, there's a lot to take in.

Accompanying all of the canon narratives of the title are Character Episodes — mini arcade mode runs that feature each character in their final matches of the King of Iron Fist Tournament. Upon completing four fights, you're given a gorgeous cinematic ending that showcases what would happen if your selected fighter wins.

How to unlock Alternate Outfit 3 in Tekken 8

Everyone who's been playing Tekken since Tekken 5 knows that the game is secretly a fashion show. With a fun customization mode that allows you to change up your favorite fighter's style, it's hard for it not to be.

This returns in Tekken 8 and, as always, players can spend earned in-game currency in the shop to unlock more accessories and cosmetics. However, one outfit has to be unlocked instead of bought, and that's Alternate Outfit 3. This style is a variation of each character's main look that usually removes something from that ensemble such as a hoodie or overshirt.

5 Nintendo DS games we need on Switch after Another Code: Recollection
Key art for Radiant Historia

We’re in the middle of a Nintendo DS renaissance on Nintendo Switch, which is fitting as that classic handheld turns 20 in 2014. Coming off the excellent Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective re-release from last year, more DS classics are coming to Nintendo Switch this month. First, Another Code Recollection contains a full-on remake of the cult classic Another Code: Two Memories, and it's out now. In a few days, on January 25, Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney will remastered as part of a trilogy collection that also bears its namesake.

This has all gotten me to think about what other Nintendo DS games I’d like to see make a comeback. According to Moby Games, There were well over 2,000 DS titles, but not all of them matched the notoriety and success of titles like New Super Mario Bros. or Nintendogs. That means the DS library is still full of cult classics primed for a re-release or full-on series comeback. These are the five I’d like to see make a comeback in the wake of Another Code Recollection and Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy.
