3DS in March

Nintendo have announced that the 3DS will be released in the UK this March. The highly anticipated handheld will hit Japan first on February 26th, much later than expected, at around 25000 yen – so hopefully the machine will be under £200 once it hits Britain and many Americans are aghast as they may be paying over $300. Quite expensive for a handheld, but the games look amazing – check out the video above for a look at the brilliant software line-up including two Resident Evil games, Metal Gear Solid 3 and a bunch of Nintendo classics. The dinky machine plays games and films without the need for 3D glasses and you can even take 3D photos thanks to two camera on the outer casing. More news as we get it.
Protect Our Saves

The Wii, PlayStation Move and Xbox Kinect have all been produced to attract an expanded market gaming, but you need to be very careful about getting non-gamers involved in the hobby, as a story from my past proves.
I used to stay with my grandparents alot on weekends, and I tried to get my granpa interested in my PlayStation, playing him at my favorite game at the time WWF Attitude. We had some fun bouts and he got used to the control pad quite quickly. One Sunday afternoon after some matches I went to see some friends. When I returned my granpa informed me he had been playing a game while I was out. The aim of the game was to get rid of the flashing squares.
I was confused. I didn’t own any puzzle games and he said he had not put a disc in the machine. A shudder came over me. I ran to the tv and fired up the console and went straight to my memory card directory. Every save was gone. The flashing squares that my granpa was blasting away were actually saved games. These days consoles are home to downloadable games and film downloads so be extra careful to back up as much as you can before getting the whole familt round our you could lose more than just saves.
