Take that, GameBoy Micro!
It might be a little early in the day to talk about the 3DS's launch success, with in-depth statistics set to be available in the NPD Group's next report on 14th April, but Nintendo is obviously pleased with the console's day-one sales, claiming it beat every other Nintendo handheld's launch day figures in North America.

New leash on life
The original Nintendogs blew many away upon its release way back in 2006 – here was a game designed to show off the DS in full, with voice recognition, plenty of touchscreen functions and even a communication feature called Bark Mode that let consoles exchange data automatically. Fast forward five years and we've got Nintendogs + Cats, hoping to impress even more than its pet predecessor all those years ago.

Drawing up plans for an hilarious April Fool's Day joke. It'll be tough to beat last year's effort but I'm determined to make it happen!
