I don't really mind if their tablet is only going to have educational games. I likely wouldn't buy it for a long while even if it had games I could enjoy (not really a tablet person). And it's not like they can compete with the popularity of the iPad and Android OS tablets. So I think aiming their tablet squarely at kids could do them good business, especially if it's cheaper than other tablets.

As for the guy threatening Nintendo like that, I don't really know what to make of it. Though I find it funny how people in the comments of that article find the more pressing issue to be the building pictured. :V

Also, advertising:

I wonder if Android Emulators would work on it.

Some screenshots for the new Kirby game, now titled "Kirby Triple Deluxe". Also, angry Kirby on the Japanese box art! :

Hm, Angry Japanese Kirby? That's a first indeed.
Looks like Ninty are going ahead with the Return to Dreamland formula then, interesting choice, though I hope they do give their own spin to it, the Kirby series is consistent, but each game always has some element to keep things fresh.

Only European Kirby that is badass right now as we speak is from Air Ride cover if I am not mistaking.

Probably, but I've always find some delicious irony in having Badass Kirby over cutesy Kirby, to each their own of course.

Didn't Kirby's Epic Yarn already break the American tradition?

And I know there was another Kirby game with the angry face in Japan, I just can't remember which one.

Yeah, that was the one.

...I started that game and never finished it. Yet another game I need to get back to. I have such a long list of those. It's a really good game though.

Hm, it's one of the more deviating Kirby games, isn't it? I like that about the Kirby franchise, how it can see some interesting concepts such as the one in Mass Attack.

It's probably the most "out-there" Kirby game besides Kirby's Air Ride, though is nowhere near that in terms of getting to grips with it. It's basically Kirby with real-time strategy elements.
