Since the official price cut the console has continued to dominate the charts fending of the PlayStation 3 and PlayStation Portable. It will be interesting to see how the Nintendo 3DS fares against the PlayStation Vita which launches December 17th in Japan.

Nintendo of Japan has provided a couple of high-resolution shots of the stunning Legend of Zelda 25th Anniversary limited edition Nintendo 3DS console. The system goes on sale November 24th in North America and November 25th in Europe.

2.- Nintendo of Japan has uploaded a brand new trailer for the forthcoming Kid Icarus: Uprising on the Nintendo 3DS. 

Kid Icarus: Uprising still doesn’t have an official release date but is scheduled to be released in Europe, Japan, Australia and America sometime early next year.

According to a poster at online gaming forum NeoGaf the seventh entry to a long-established JRPG series should be coming to the Nintendo 3DS. Most people have placed their bets at the critically acclaimed Final Fantasy VII coming to the console or Dragon Quest VII. Which game would you like to see?

3.- There are few new screenshots from Monster Hunter Tri G that show off you and your hunting companions in various parts of the game.

There are new screenshots from Theatrhythm Final Fantasy that show off new characters, battles, locations and menus in the game.

Konami has announced that Doctor Lautrec and the Forgotten Knights will be available in Europe today. They also revealed that the game won’t be launching in America until the 13th of December. If you’re still not set on whether to get the game or not, you can always try out some of the game’s puzzles in this web demo.

Zen Pinball 3D has been confirmed to be coming to the eShop in Europe next week on Thursday. It will be available at a price of £5.40.

Jools Watsham of Renegade Kid has tweeted that the latest trailer for Mutant Mudds is viewable on your 3DS via the eShop in the ‘Coming Soon’ section. This is the same trailer from yesterday, but it’s in 3D, so you might want to check that out.

4.- A future PlayStation 3 firmware update will enable Vita Remote Play on all games, Eurogamer has learnt.

However, this will be only at the PlayStation Portable 480x272 resolution, which will be upscaled to fill the screen.

For future games, developers will be able to include Vita specific 480p modes, Eurogamer understands.

Vita's OLED display is actually capable of displaying games at 960×544 pixel resolution.

Vita Remote Play is how Sony's new handheld interacts with the PS3.

In a Tokyo Game Show demonstration Sony's Shuhei Yoshida played a brief section of Killzone 3 streamed into the device from a PlayStation 3 unit, noting how a few of the Dual Shock buttons missing on the Vita are mapped to the touchscreen.

Vita can also be used in co-operative play with PS3 games. While a colleague played through a specially constructed LittleBigPlanet 2 level with a Dual Shock controller, Yoshida controlled an aeroplane via the Vita's touch screen, helping Sackboy reach his goal by altering the environment.


5.- Pushmo is a puzzle game coming to the 3DS via the eShop this year. It involves pushing and pulling pieces of the stage into the foreground. This allows you to climb higher and higher before reaching the end of the stage. 

There’s a trailer and screenshots.
