Another 8-bit costume A friend gave me the bright idea of trying to usethe Wolf Link amiibo(from my recently acquired copy ofTwilight Princess HD) inSuper Mario Maker, and wouldn’t you know, it worked! Apparently the figure unlocks an 8-bit Midna and Link costume, as one would expect. Curiously though, the description text seems to be a placeholder, as it’s written entirely in Japanese. Nintendo probably wasn’t counting on people trying it this early, but now that the cat is out of the bag, and with the frequency at whichMario Makergets updates, we can expect it to be fixed when the game actually launches....

Hey, big spender I won’t say that literally every collector’s edition I’ve purchased ended in regret, but that has quite often been my experience once a few months pass after the game’s release and those sky-high prices start to plummet. Something to keep in mind as we look over this $200 special-edition set forFinal Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Agewith its cool-but-probably-not-that-cool Judge Magister busts. Unsurprisingly, this exorbitantcollector’s editionis exclusive to the Square Enix Online Store....

A few weeks ago, UbisoftannouncedthatDriver: San Franciscowould need a constant connection to the internet to be playable.

Given how busy (and frequently successful) they’ve been over the years, it’s hard not to imagine Nintendo’s legal department as a razor-sharp, iron-sinewed, crack military team of litigation commandos. Kind of like a pumped-up Elite Beat Agents, only trained in the law rather than dance. Well they’re going to be out in force again soon it seems, as Nintendo is being sued once more. This time the complaint is coming from Texas-based Lonestar Inventions, over a 1993 design for a triply-effective capacitor design which it claims Nintendo stole for its hardware products....

One big blocked scene Activision’s taking one of the most basic social skills that everyone learned in kindergarten and totally disregarding it.

As reported byGameSpot,Call of Duty: Advanced Warfarehas completely blocked PlayStation 4’s Share Play option. Share Play is a system designed to allow a second user that doesn’t own the game to remotely play the title for sixty minutes at a time....
