Nintendo 3DS: Video Review

By Digital Trends Staff May 9, 2011

Nintendo attempts to build-upon the success of the DS family of portable consoles with the new 3DS which adds glasses-free 3D to the mix. The 3DS adds a little bulk when compared to the DS to make room for the new 3D cameras and the upper stereoscopic 3D display. If playing in three-dimensions is not your thing a built-in 3D depth slider allows you to adjust the intensity of the effect. Other notable features include the new “circle pad” analog control, adjustable stylus, and built-in motion and gyro sensors. Check out our video review to hear more about the 3DS and its launch titles from our gaming expect Ryan Fleming.

The Nintendo Switch actually offers multiple levels of intensity and style when you factory reset its firmware, a process also known as a 'hard reset'. Doing so is a great final step that should resolve just about any software troubleshooting issue. You'll also find yourself wanting to perform a factory reset on your Nintendo Switch before reselling it to protect your data.

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.
