Naked sample
You've seen the photos, you might even have held one in your hand, but it's unlikely you've seen a 3DS from the inside. Until now, that is, with Chinese site TGBus exposing the machine's guts for all to see.
Take that, Kinect!
Move's not had quite as many cool non-gaming applications as Kinect, but this video does a lot to redress the balance.
Like a robot
Over the years we've seen people play Super Mario Bros. in some crazy ways: you can play Mario with Kinect, play Mario with your eyes and even, believe it or not, play Mario with your hands, like a baby's toy. They've all required some sort of human interaction, but not this latest Mario-related chicanery, which uses a robot to replace the fleshbags in charge of the controller.
Faxanadu leads the charge
It's been two weeks since we last saw a Virtual Console game, which means it's time for another one, this time in the shapely side-scrolling form of Faxanadu on NES. There's also a couple of WiiWare demos and some DSiWare puzzle games of course, as well as headline WiiWare download... well, we won't spoil it.
Get smart
Recently released Kinect brain-buster Dr Kawashima's Body and Brain Exercises (known as Dr Kawashima's Body and Brain Connection in some parts of the world) is so far the only title for the sensor that tests your brainpower as well as your physical prowess, teasing you with maths, logic and memory puzzles.
Hard to believe
25 years ago this very day, the very first Legend of Zelda game on NES hit Japan, starting one of the most-loved gaming series of all time.
Free demo on 1st March
Upcoming mascot 'em up PlayStation Move Heroes is Sony's big, non-Killzone 3 Move release in the next month, and players who subscriber to the company's premium PlayStation Plus service will get to try out the title weeks before its launch.
Makes wait seem infinite
Child of Eden is right up there on most gamers' "most wanted Kinect games" lists, particularly ours here at Kinectaku, and this video doing the rounds at retailers has only cemented its position as the most beautiful game on the way to the sensor.
Monday sees the release of Remote Racers, a 3D racing game on DSiWare that joins the likes of Asphalt 4: Elite Racing, Ferrari GT Evolution and more in bringing speed to the service. If you're one of the few gamers who thinks you'd have more fun parking cars than driving them, hold onto your Nintendo Points until Valet Parking 1989 reaches DSiWare later this year.
We talk to the master of puppets
Twisted Pixel's upcoming puppet-'em-up The Gunstringer is an interesting proposal, what with its combination of Rez and Crash Bandicoot and undead Wild West sheriff marionette lead, so we had to sit down with the team to figure out exactly what goes on in those heads of theirs.
