Nintendo 3DS
With the threat of Apple taking over handheld gaming, Nintendo is hoping to keep its position on the handheld gaming throne with their new 3DS. What they're hoping will catch everyone's attention is the unique screen that creates a 3D view that will have Mario jumping right out of the screen without the need of wearing 3D glasses. Other features include dual exterior cameras that are capable of taking 3D images, Wi-Fi connectivity, and the ability to turn off 3D with the adjustable "3D Depth Slider." Link

The Xbox 360 is getting some new duds today to prepare for the upcoming release of Kinect (November). The new system ($300) is slimmer and sharper with Wi-Fi built-in (finally!) and will include a 250GB hard drive. Lets just hope this one is red-ring-proof. Link

Mega Man 10
You can go on about your Modern Warfare 2 all you want but it doesn't hold a candle in terms of difficulty when compared to the Mega Man Series. Just looking at the image above is frustrating. Coming soon to WiiWare, the blue bomber is back in Mega Man 10 with new stages, bosses, weapons, the works. And of course they've stayed true to the 8-bit, 2D formula we all know and love (and hate).
