Kojima Let the Snake out of the Bag


Or would "Cat out of the Cardboard Box" be more apropos? Regardless, Hideo Kojima tweeted a sneak peek of the playable E3 demo of Snake Eater 3D today. Along with the photo he noted "I at last crossed the suspension bridge using the gyro controls." I'm hoping this means he isn't the greatest video game player, otherwise it's likely that motion-control-induced rage is coming to a 3DS near you.

On the flip side, Kojima said afterwards that players will be able to switch weapons with the touch screen, allowing for a more user friendly experience; he also noted the ability to walk while ducking. Fans of the La Li Lu Le Lo will have to wait until June 7 to get the full preview of Nintendo's first Metal Gear release since 2004.

Mario Goes Red, Saves You Green

Late adopters rejoice! In a recent press release, the Big N announced a price slash of the DS Lite from $129.99 to $99.99 on June 5. Even if you've already upgraded to the third dimension, it may be a worthwhile purchase to play your now defunct import titles.

In addition, Nintendo introduced new red cases for some the best selling DS Mario games to "make it easy for [customers] to find their favorite Mario titles." I've always just scanned the box art for an overweight mustachioed plumber – but that's just me. And considering 262 million Mario games have been sold worldwide, I'm guessing it's not a problem for you either.

Stare at Cute Pokemon Butts in 3D


Back in the old days, when Pokémon titles were limited to primary colors, I had a little baby Pokédex I could fit in my pocket. Since then, they've grown to the size of phonebooks and are not practical for anyone wanting to learn about Cubchoo on the go. Now, in these backwards times we live in, where phonebooks are nearly extinct and Pokémon games are named for the absence of color, Nintendo recognizes this absurdity and will be releasing a free digital Pokédex on the 3DS eShop.

Entries will span all Pocket Monsters from the Black and White iterations, but unfortunately, if you want to learn about 'um all, you gotta' earn it. The app comes preloaded with 16 Pokémon, but the remainder must be unlocked by using SpotPass, scanning QR codes and trading with friends.

Hey, Listen! Navi to Become More Obnoxious



Few grievances can be made about the N64 iterations of The Legend of Zelda. Well, unless you're unfortunate enough to have one of those haunted cartridges given away by dubious shop keepers. But of all the possible improvements to be made to the upcoming Ocarina of Time remake, what would be the most counterproductive? No, not an extended water temple, but close. Nintendo has decided to provide Hyrule's number one faerie non grata with more valuable insight to share with you.

According to the recent issue of Nintendo Power, Navi's arsenal of one-liners has unfortunately expanded. She will now graciously remind you to take breaks if you've been playing a bit too long. She'll also be able to mock you and your shortcomings by scathingly suggesting to watch one of the newly added hint movies. Apparently 3D won't be the only thing providing headaches when the title launches June 19.
