The post GRs weekend giveaway: Street Fighter III: Third Strike Online Edition download codes appeared first on Game News.

No date was given for Europe or the United States, which makes sense, what with this being the Tokyo Game Show, but it’s still a good sign that the system is making a release in 2011, no matter where it might be. Odds are we’ll find out more about the system’s release in English-speaking territories in the coming months, especially if it’s still slated for a release in the first half of 2012. Stay tuned!

It’s not that the DS’ New Super Mario Bros. was a crap game by any stretch of the imagination, of course. In fact it was bloody brilliant. But throughout, I just couldn’t shake the feeling that I was playing a game that lacked the freshness and spark that core Mario games usually exude in abundance. Kind of like it was a very, very good tribute game rather than a real one.

The 3DS’ Super Mario 3D Land however, now looks to have no such problems. I had my doubts about the game’s lesser freedom compare to the likes of Galaxy, but now I’ve seen more of it, I love the idea of combining 3D Mario’s versatility with the tight, linear challenge of 2D Mario. You might too. Have a look and find out. And then tell me, for I wish to hear.

The post TGS 2011: Super Mario 3D Land trailer delivers the giddy fresh excitement New Super Mario Bros. didnt appeared first on Game News.

Shortly after revealing Mario Tennis 3DS, Nintendo showed a few seconds of footage from another popular series we too frequently forget exists: Fire Emblem. The new game looks much like the others, with 2D tactical combat on a grid-based map, but this time, it’s going to pop out of the screen in 3D. Well, we assume, we don’t technically have confirmation on that point.

What we do know is that it’s going to be an original game, and it will supposedly be out on 2012—at least in Japan. It’s also going to feature two-play cooperative play, though we’re not exactly sure how that will work. Beyond that we don’t have much beyond the brief footage they showed. Hopefully our team on the show floor at Tokyo Game Show will be able to gather more information, though we wouldn’t be all that surprised if the footage we got is all we’ll see for a few months.
