Nintendo 3DS: Video Review

By Digital Trends Staff May 9, 2011

Nintendo attempts to build-upon the success of the DS family of portable consoles with the new 3DS which adds glasses-free 3D to the mix. The 3DS adds a little bulk when compared to the DS to make room for the new 3D cameras and the upper stereoscopic 3D display. If playing in three-dimensions is not your thing a built-in 3D depth slider allows you to adjust the intensity of the effect. Other notable features include the new “circle pad” analog control, adjustable stylus, and built-in motion and gyro sensors. Check out our video review to hear more about the 3DS and its launch titles from our gaming expect Ryan Fleming.

How to unlock Alternate Outfit 3 in Tekken 8

Everyone who's been playing Tekken since Tekken 5 knows that the game is secretly a fashion show. With a fun customization mode that allows you to change up your favorite fighter's style, it's hard for it not to be.

This returns in Tekken 8 and, as always, players can spend earned in-game currency in the shop to unlock more accessories and cosmetics. However, one outfit has to be unlocked instead of bought, and that's Alternate Outfit 3. This style is a variation of each character's main look that usually removes something from that ensemble such as a hoodie or overshirt.

5 Nintendo DS games we need on Switch after Another Code: Recollection

We’re in the middle of a Nintendo DS renaissance on Nintendo Switch, which is fitting as that classic handheld turns 20 in 2014. Coming off the excellent Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective re-release from last year, more DS classics are coming to Nintendo Switch this month. First, Another Code Recollection contains a full-on remake of the cult classic Another Code: Two Memories, and it's out now. In a few days, on January 25, Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney will remastered as part of a trilogy collection that also bears its namesake.

This has all gotten me to think about what other Nintendo DS games I’d like to see make a comeback. According to Moby Games, There were well over 2,000 DS titles, but not all of them matched the notoriety and success of titles like New Super Mario Bros. or Nintendogs. That means the DS library is still full of cult classics primed for a re-release or full-on series comeback. These are the five I’d like to see make a comeback in the wake of Another Code Recollection and Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy.
