Worst-Sounding Wii Game Becomes My Most-Anticipated Wii Game

Star Fox 64 3DS Remake Is ‘Newly Arranged’, Motion-Controlled

Star Fox 64 was one of the Nintendo 64′s best video games. It was a fantastic on-rails shooter, it introduced rumble to Nintendo console gaming and it gave the world one of the best pieces of advice ever delivered by software: “Do a barrel roll.”


Nintendo’s New Console ‘Playable By Everyone’ At E3

Nintendo’s confirmation this morning that they’ll be showing their new console at E3 left many unanswered questions, but also raised a note of scepticism.

I keep telling people that the Captain America video game is going to be good, and I keep getting funny looks.


PSPgo Not Dead In North America

Yesterday, Sony Japan said that the PSPgo, the disc-free variation of the PlayStation Portable was no longer in production. Dead. Done. Put to rest. Well, not in America. Clarifying news that broke on IGN, a Sony spokesperson in the U.S. told Kotaku today: “We are continuing production of PSPgo for North America. We will also continue to support the PSP-3000 platform.”


Portal 2 Wasn’t Going To Include Portals, According To iPad App

For five months in 2008, Valve Software was making a version of Portal 2 that wasn’t going to include Portals. And it was going to be a prequel, set in the ’50s. The game, based on an internal prototype called F-Stop, was built around a new gameplay mechanic that thrilled people at Valve.
