‘Your duty is to diagnose and normalize anomaly citizens’ Mind Scannersis a point-and-click simulation game about “treating” the populace of a retro-futuristic megacity built in a crater, and it’s worth watching if you’ve been meaning to fill thePapers, Pleasevoid with something fresh. At a glance, two things about this low-key creepy game stood out to me. The first – as shown throughout the trailer – is that your physical interactions in the world are playful and tactile in a way that looks fun....

Areportreleased by the National Resources Defense Council states that videogame consoles suck up one billion dollars worth of energy annually. Putting a face on that number is easy. The 16 billion kilowatt-hours charging up the $1 billion tab equals the amount of electricity used by the people of sunny San Diego within the same timeframe. The NRDC urges concerned videogame players (you are concerned now, by the way) to use the auto-shutdown features on the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360....
From the moment I unboxed the Wii and pointed the Wii Remote at my television screen, I thought to myself, “Why can’t I use this to watch TV?” Club Nintendo in Japan was kind enough to offer a universal TV remote shaped like a Wii Remote, but I had always hoped for a “TV channel” that would allow me to control my TV to toggle between television, gaming, and other inputs....
We heard rumors about some kind of e-reader function for Nintendo’s 3DS, but Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata all but confirms it and actually lays out some related functionality in an interview with Nikkei. “We’re thinking about functionality where it will automatically acquire newspaper and magazine articles,” he said. “As you carry it with you while out and about, it will seek out and automatically connect with wireless LAN spots, and download information....

It has finally happened. Ever since Nintendo announced their remote-like controller for the “Revolution” (before they decided to honor it with the glorious mantle of the Wii), companies everywhere have been keeping a very close eye on the Wiimote and Nintendo’s plans for it. Now, less than a month after the launch of their new console, Nintendo is already faced with a lawsuit coming from a company by the name ofInterlink Electronics....
Gotta smack ’em all Nintendo announced on Twitter that the cutesy but chaoticPokken Tournament DXwill see a demo on Nintendo Switch, one that will be with us as soon as today! The demo will be live on the Nintendo eShop at 9pm PT/12am ET in America, whilst Europe will see the demo a little later this week. There appears to be little info on what the demo will contain, but given recent fighting games I wouldn’t be surprised if it’s just multiplayer matches with a limited roster....

It’s booty Rare, a developer that is currently making a pirate-themed video game, doesn’t know a ton of pirate vernacular. Or so this video would make it seem. Sure, the sample size is pretty small and the questions are kind of obscure, so it probably isn’t too big of a deal. I’m sure they all know what “Ahoy, matey!” and “Land, ho!” mean. Apparently it’s “Talk Like a Pirate Day” again, a fine opportunity for Rare to showcase its pirate knowledge (or lack thereof)....
