On your Marks
We reported recently that we could see an update to allow PlayStation Move to work on PC, and it seems the driving force behind such an update could be none other than Dr Richard Marks, the controller's creator.
New tracks tomorrow
As the old saying goes, the hits just keep on coming. The next batch of Dance Central downloadable content hits tomorrow, with tracks from Missy Elliott, Chic, Amerie and Rick James bringing a certain freaky touch to the game.
From Redmond with love
According to corporate thinking, today's the day you're supposed to show your special somebody how much you love them. That seems to be the thinking behind this week's Nintendo Download too, with the Big N showering you with the gaming equivalent of chocolate, roses and a Hugh Grant movie.
Meet the cast
After a wait that threatened never to end, Dragon Quest VI: Realms of Revelation reaches the Western world today on Nintendo's DS. Square Enix and Nintendo have put together a trailer to introduce you to some of the unfamiliar characters you'll meet on your journey through the latest epic RPG.
It goes for smiles
Kinect Joy Ride may not be Kinect's finest hour, what with it playing itself and everything, but that hasn't stopped the players in this video below from enjoying themselves.
Only early birds need apply
We recently reported about how North American gamers can get their hands on Victini in Nintendo's upcoming Pokémon Black and White, but fear not European gamers: you'll get your chance too.
Any surprises?
We know 3DS is just over a month away, but don't forget the Wii and DS are both set to receive more great games this year, with plenty of gems tucked away in Nintendo's Q1 release schedule.
Price drops below £100
Kinect was flying off the shelves before Christmas, but the lack of games released for the sensor after the festive period has presumably left retailers with plenty of stock sat in warehouses and on shelves, as UK supermarket giant Tesco is the latest shop to cut the sensor's price.
While enthusiastic coders do everything from play Angry Birds with Kinect to make shadow puppets, Microsoft has its own plan for Kinect that goes far beyond gaming.
Rejoice!
There's been plenty of confusion lately about the launch of the 3DS's eShop, which will allow users to download DSiWare games, 3DS demos and more. At first we believed the store would be ready at launch, then Nintendo Japan's financial results claimed the 3DS eShop would launch in May. Now Nintendo America has clarified that at the very least the Virtual Console will be available on the console's launch day, according to an article by IGN.It's important to note that some of these features, most notably the Virtual Console/e-Shop idea, will not be available out of the box, but will need to be downloaded from a Wi-Fi connection. Nintendo has clarified that the Virtual Console will be available immediately upon the launch of the 3DS.So far the only titles confirmed for the system's Virtual Console are Super Mario Land and Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening DX, but expect other titles to hit the shelves on launch day.
