It's April! March is over, but Famitsu has Japanese sales figures for the most successful games, hardware, and game companies of the past month.

If you walked into a store today, it'd cost you $218 to pick up the new Nintendo 3DS from any of the regular retailers.

Alternatively, you could pay less than $150.

The Binding of Isaac finally arrived on 3DS -- specifically, New 3DS -- a few weeks back, but it's been a bumpy launch for roguelike fans, as they have run into a series of unfortunate glitches.

There's something almost serendipitous about this...

Today marks the release of Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, a smaller-sized version of the 2012 JRPG that was originally made for the Wii.

Ever since I transferred everything to my new 3DS, I've played with the 3D slider permanently on. With Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, though (the first game made specifically for the New 3DS, in that it won't work on an old one) I had to turn it off, because there was just too much happening on-screen.

My 3DS bit the dust a few months back. Rather than pay for Nintendo to fix it, I waited for the New 3DS. Unfortunately, most of my games were purchased digitally, and you can't just insert an old SD card into a New 3DS. On Nintendo platforms, games are tied to the hardware. Dumb? Yes. Reality? Also yes! So I got on the phone with Nintendo to find out what my options were.

For a couple of years we at Kotaku have deemed Nintendo's 3DS as an essential piece of gaming hardware. And for decades, new iterations of Nintendo hardware have immediately rendered older units obsolete. Things are different this time around.

Just got a New 3DS? Want to transfer all your digital games and save-files from your Old 3DS to your new one? Well, you're in for an adventure.

We've had a couple of New 3DS XL systems in the US for the last couple of weeks, one in my hands in New York City and one with Patricia out in San Francisco. We like the system, though we're not blown away by it. We have discussed this for your reading pleasure.

The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask for 3DS is almost here, which means the hype train is in overdrive, and Nintendo's doing everything it can to get people interested in Link's revamped adventure. The company's throwing an art competition on the Miiverse, kicked off by series producer Eiji Aonuma himself, and it's resulted in some truly incredible submissions by fans.

Do you live in North America? Want to get your hands on one of these sweet New 3DS faceplates? SORRY. Nintendo doesn't want to sell them to you.

Nintendo's financial results for the October-December 2014 quarter are in, and it's showing numbers reminiscent of the the ones we saw last time, which is good.

Video: The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask has aged more than you remember. The game came out 15 years ago, after all! It's why Nintendo's releasing a remake next month. Thanks to YouTuber Master0fHyrule, we have a pretty excellent comparison video of the two versions.

When Nintendo officially announced the New 3DS XL this morning, fans across North America had one big question: where's the smaller one?

The New 3DS is coming out on February 13, Nintendo just announced. This release date is no surprise given yesterday's leaks, but now it's official.

Rumour suggests Nintendo's New 3DS -- a poorly-titled yet excellent hardware revision of the Old 3DS -- will be officially announced for North America tomorrow, and that it will come out on February 13.

I'm not saying the original 3DS is bad. I'm not saying that at all. What I'm saying is that the New Nintendo 3DS seems so good. It would have been nice to have this from the get go.

With Super Smash Bros for Nintendo 3DS out, creator Masahiro Sakurai's job is only half done. When one fan asked him how it felt to be done with the development on Super Smash Bros, he replied, "I'm not done yet..."
