Always learning
Kinect's applications outside of gaming are vast: we've seen it used for robotics, surgery and turning people into superheroes. It's also got more everyday uses though, as the fantastic site KinectEDucation outlines.
Somebody set up us the bomb
Every so often we get cool stuff here at Nintendo Life's UK HQ — you wouldn't believe the swag that lurks under the our shiny workstations. This press kit from KRITZELKRATZ 3000 is certainly one of the better press kits we've received, though.
Fighting for your money
The 3DS price drop comes into effect tomorrow and already major retailers are jostling for position on the starting grid.
Disappointed not to be nominated for a GMA this year. Always next year, though.
Opened window. Wind blew chair over. I didn't see this. Went to sit down. Guess how it ended.
5,000 new hotspots
The 3DS's innovative SpotPass service — where the console automatically downloads content as you carry it around — is contingent on there being easily discoverable, unsecured WiFi access. While gamers in North America have access to 10,000 AT&T hotspots, there's been no such deal for the UK — until now.

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. Is this muscular title enough to steal the crown from budget alternative My Fitness Coach: Club?
