This is sad
Australian studio Blue Tongue Entertainment — creators of the ludicrously enjoyable de Blob games — has been closed by owner THQ.
Salt at the ready
Nintendo's press release this morning for the Flame Red 3DS launch mentioned upcoming titles but only stuck to its vague November and December windows for Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7. Now the MTV Multiplayer blog thinks it has the exact North American release dates.
Strapping
The PlayStation Move fitness game race got off to a slow start with just one title in the first six months, but it's just received its most high-profile title yet in the form of UFC Personal Trainer: The Ultimate Fitness System from THQ.

Hot stuff?
You knew it would happen sooner or later: the snazzy Flare Red 3DS console is leaving Japan and coming to North America next month.
On 12th August Nintendo of America officially drops the price of 3DS to $169.99, and is compensating anyone who bought the machine at its earlier, higher price with 20 free Virtual Games from the eShop.

Curses, nearly time to venture out in the terrible York weather. I hate you, rain. I hate you so much
XMB tweaked too

Have woken up in a far better mood today. Shame about this weather but ready to kick today's backside. Bring it on, Wednesday.
Get up
