It seems like Japan’s getting all of the good stuff! Nintendo will be selling the bundle you see above in Japan exclusively through its own online sales service. Included is the snazzy cobalt blue Nintendo 3DS system, a copy of Fire Emblem: Awakening, and also a ¥1,000 Fire Emblem points card! The bundle will go for ¥19,800 but there’s no release date as of yet.
Also in the memo, 2 Monster Hunter 3G bundles have been announced, and you’ll get your choice of a black or red 3DS system and a copy of Monster Hunter 3G. This bundle will be released on March 17th, also currently a Japanese exclusive.
Alongside the Monster Hunter 3G bundle, a Super Mario 3D Land 3DS bundle is also set to release on March 24th, but bundled with your choice of a white or pink 3DS system. Both bundles will retail at ¥19,800, but this bundle will also come with a virtual console version of the original Super Mario Bros. pre-installed on the memory card.
So, do you need any more confirmation that Assassin’s Creed III is being set in the American Revolution? The Assassin’s Creed Facebook account has uploaded this packshot (along with the XBOX 360 and PS3 versions) today! What do you guys think?
So, we’ve finally reached more than 1000+ posts on our blog! To commemorate, we’re planning on expanding our coverage in the entertainment industries. Of course, our Anime department is needing some serious work (but that’s all Kurodo Akabane’s fault for being so lazy!), but we’re thinking of expanding our coverage to the music and movie industry! There will be one of two options we’ll be thinking about in the coming months: we’ll either integrate this new coverage in our existing blog at this moment, or create a separate blog affiliated with this one.
This brings to the question: what do you want us to cover more of? My own specialty is in Nintendo and Microsoft related news, as well as some in the PC gaming area, so what do you guys want more of? Anime? Playstation news? Speak up! Also, we’re finally going to resume our Card of the Night segment after an unexpected hiatus, so be on the lookout for one coming next Sunday at 23:00 EST!
Spread the word! Put us in your Favorites or make us your homepage and tell your friends!

So, are you ready for the wild ride of an adventure that is Bioshock: Infinite? Well, come one, come all: Bioshock: Infinite is set to release on Oct. 16, 2012 in North America, and Oct. 19, 2012 everywhere else! Finally, Bioshock fans will be able to explore the floating city of Columbia!
So, what do you think? How awesome would it be to play the Metroid Prime series with this nifty arm cannon?
How much are you willing to pay for a controller? Most of them go for about $30-$50 nowadays, but what about an unreleased prototype controller? Well, the controller you see above sold for $2,500 on eBay, a controller that was set to release alongside The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess! Either the buyer was insane, or he snagged one of the rarest stuff to go along with one of the best Legend of Zelda games!
