Remember that rather dodgy-looking add-on for the Nintendo 3DS that introduced a second slide pad to the device? It first popped up in a Japanese gaming magazine earlier this month, but at a pre-Tokyo Game Show press conference in Japan today, Nintendo “let slip” that the attachment really is on its way. Nintendo used the

The PlayStation.Blog ran a story covering two separate announcements concerning the work of Fumito Ueda and Team Ico.

Nintendo has announced that they will be streaming a special, pre-Tokyo Game Show event for the Nintendo 3DS on September 13th in Japan. The show is slated to start at noon on the 13th Japan time, but that translates to 11PM EST on the 12th if you live in the States. We will be watching

Go ahead, take a wild guess at which system Sony will be heavily championing at the Tokyo Game Show come the middle of this September. No, no, it’s cool, we’ll give you a second. Okay. Pencils down. It’s the PS Vita, folks. Sony will be showing off a confirmed total of 31 PS Vita titles
