After going to Wondercon on a whim, I was pleasantly surprised to find that Nintendo of America had set up a booth in the dead center of the exhibit hall. Their booth was centered on the 3DS and its upcoming games, while the WiiU was unsurprisingly a no show, Nintendo having said they’re saving it for E3.
Besides a handful of downloadable titles, there were three different yet to be released games on the floor. Spirit Camera was an odd game that focused on the use of the 3DS camera to make the settings around the player scary and weird but it came off as a little gimmicky. Kid Icarus held a spot in a majority of the 3DS’ cartridge slot with both multiplayer and single player stations. I played a bit of that, but the game comes out March 23rd so I felt like playing a game that was a bit farther off.

Welcome to a new video series! Backseat Gaming is where we run through a game one of us has loved, but another has barely (or never!) played! The chooser watches while the newbie plays, both while providing commentary for your enjoyment!
Our first series comes from the minds at Double Fine Productions, with their cult-classic: Psychonauts!
Product placement is nothing new to the world of the mass media. It has been in movies and TV shows for years now and is considered a very effective way of advertising a product inside of a piece of entertainment. Reese’s Pieces probably would not exist today if it wasn’t for E.T. and M&Ms being too snobby to show their product in a movie. Of course, game publishers at some point realized that, “Hey! We can make even more money if we sell ad space inside the game!” A cry was heard from the internet as people were angry that their sacred form of entertainment was being tainted by the man.
"The trailers are the best part!"
Get your fill of The OFFICIAL Pixel Legends Podcast here!

What we already knew: The Playstation Vita comes in two flavors, WiFi only ($249.99) and WiFi + 3G ($299.99).
What’s new: The more expensive 3G option has been re-bundled.
Seeing as many gamers were repelled by the 3G model’s more expensive price point (and probably the AT&T logo), Sony has realized that they needed to make the 3G option more appealing.
Believe it or not, they actually have.
If you opt for the 3G version of the system, you’ll also receive one of the Vita’s 8GB proprietary memory cards, normally a $35 value on its own. Even the “First Edition Bundle,” which releases an entire week before the Vita’s Feb. 22 launch, is only equipped with a 4GB card.
You’ll also receive a free month’s access to the plan in addition to a downloadable copy of the popular twin-stick shooter, Super Stardust Delta.
Pick your poison, legends.
