Okay, I kind of slept through last night’s update… so here’s a double-dose for you.

From the Canada Nintendo Examiner:

Nintendo 3DS launch titles revealed (Update) – Now you can know for sure whether or not you should get in line on March 26th.

A closer look at the Satelleview and BS Zelda games – We mentioned this a couple of days ago in speaking of The Legend of Zelda‘s 25th anniversary, but 16-Bit Gems has provided this much more comprehensive look at these rarest of rare Zelda titles.

Black/White Nintendo DSi Pokémon bundles officially announced – Just in case you weren’t sure; these bundles do not seem to be exclusive to Canada nor Toys R Us.

From The Mega Man Network:

Mega Man Battle Network Official Complete Works Scheduled for March Release – Rumors of a delay have been greatly exaggerated (for now).

Blockman DASH Needs YOU – Minecraft plus Mega Man Legends sounds like a winning formula, but development of this has hit a snag. See what you can do to get things rocking and rolling again.

From the Toronto Video Game Examiner:

Games shipping the week of February 21st, 2011

From the Canada Nintendo Examiner:

The Nintendo Download – 2/21/11 – While there are some other titles to be had, we’d like just the Fax(anadu), ma’am.

Bundle up with Nintendo DSi and Pokémon Black/White at Toys R Us Canada – Whether or not the U.S. will get these remains to be seen, but wow, that March 6th release date sure seems awful close for no official announcement, doesn’t it?

The Legend of Zelda turns 25 – o/~ It’s The Legend of Zelda, and it’s really rad…

Know what else would be really rad? If Nintendo found a good way to celebrate it. Sure, having Ocarina of Time 3D (meh) and Skyward Sword is cool and all, but like Super Mario Bros., it would be nice to have something which really celebrates the roots of the series. And we’ve got just the thing…

From The Mega Man Network:

Zero as Your Minimate – It’s funnier if you can imagine Zero with an Australian accent.

X Sitting Pretty in MVC3 Fan Popularity – Maybe we’ll finally get to see a battle between Mega Man X and X-Men… Mega? Um… well, you see what I was trying to do there, right?

More like early Friday, February 18th, but who’s counting?

For those who found the hands-on with the 3DS games to be a bit too overwhelming, however, there is now an alternative, as I have split up most of it into individual hands-on articles. These are largely the same content, but now in smaller, bite-size chunks (and with more pics per title).

So have a look, and find out what let me down about Nintendogs + Cats, what lifted my spirits in Pilotwings Resort, what is painfully disappointing about Kid Icarus: Uprising, and more.

From the Canada Nintendo Examiner:

Hands-on with Nintendo 3DS: Nintendogs + Cats

Hands-on with Nintendo 3DS: Pilotwings Resort

Hands-on with Nintendo 3DS: Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition

Hands-on with Nintendo 3DS: Kid Icarus: Uprising

Hands-on with Nintendo 3DS: The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D

And from the conclusion of the article from which these came:

All in all, I really enjoyed my time with the system. A launch line-up has yet to be finalized, and so I don’t know if I can say this is something gamers will want to have on Day 1. But even so, I firmly believe that over time, just as with the DS before it, the 3DS will definitely be a gaming device which will be worth owning.

And that’s not just because of the highly-touted, eponymous 3D feature, either. It’s simply fun.
