With Warner’s Batman: Arkham City raking up record review scores over the last week, it looks like another all-time classic could be on the cards before the end of the year.
Future has revealed that the next issue of UK multi-format magazine Edge has awarded Nintendo’s upcoming Wii title a mighty 10/10.
"How apt that this ultimate tale of hero-making should see Nintendo’s hardware become the console it was always meant to be," the teaser blurb for the next issue reads.
It’s the first game to get top marks from the publication in 2011 and the first since Rock Band 3 in 2010. Edge has now handed out a total of 14 10/10s in its history.

Nintendo will add the video streaming service Hulu Plus to the 3DS and Wii before the end of the year.
The service will only be available to US customers, and will cost $7.99 a month with "limited advertising."
Nintendo also revealed details of the 3DS's November firmware update, which will allow the device to record and store up to 10 minutes of 3D video. Nintendo claims that users will be able to create 3D "stop-motion animation videos."
"Nintendo 3DS continues to evolve with great new features and functions designed to reinforce its position as a premiere entertainment device," said Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime in a statement.
The 3DS saw an immediate improvement in sales following its price-cut, but those figures have declined rapidly since then.
For a full breakdown of Nintendo's recent performance, read Rob Fahey's Stock Ticker article.

Rejoice Nintendo fans, Hulu Plus is coming to your console of choice... provided you're up on the latest in Nintendo hardware. Both the Wii and 3DS will be getting access to the streaming service's vast archives of TV shows and movies some time before the year is out. Though, you shouldn't expect to see the Galactica popping out of your portable -- this is a strictly 2D affair. A software update coming at the end of November will also deliver the ability to record 3D video with the Nintendo handheld (up to ten minutes) or even stitch together stereoscopic images for stop motion animation that jumps out of the tiny screen at you. With both Hulu and Netflix in tow, as well as the ability to create your own content, the 3DS is actually turning into quite a powerful little portable. For more details, including some game release dates, check out the PR after the break.

 Nintendo of Europe announced yesterday that the latest 3DS firmware update, which adds video recording functionality, would arrive on November 4. However, NWR's Daan Koopman later tweeted an update claiming that the date was "an internal confusion."
He did (re-)confirm one detail about the update, now coming at a non-specific date in November: it will offer a new StreetPass game. Previously, we'd heard that additional content for StreetPass Mii Plaza was coming, but we assumed it would be limited to expansions of the two existing built-in games, Find Mii andPuzzle Swap. We'll likely see a full reveal of this new game at tomorrow'sJapanese event.

 Do you like the short clips available on Nintendo Video, but wish they wouldn't randomly disappear from your system when new ones come along? Starting today, Nintendo is offering a selection of previous Nintendo Video shows from DreamWorks, downloadable from the eShop for $2 each.
It's sort of like buying an episode of your favorite TV show on iTunes, we suppose, if that episode was five minutes long and only viewable on a 3DS. Kind of weird, but at least it's an additional option.
In other news, Double Dragon! The ... Game Boy version!

 Keiji Inafune, the Inafking (as he's known in credit sequences for his old games) descended from his Inafthrone recently to offer his approval of the grassroots "100,000 Strong for Bringing Back Mega Man Legends 3" community, in a post on his blog.
"All these fans with such strong emotions really do have an intense passion for the game," Inafune said. "I am really glad to hear this." Inafune said he felt the "warmth" of fans' passion for the canceled Mega Man Legends 3 Project, and said he would continue cheering for his "juniors" to bring it back.
Inafune offered an interesting psychological explanation for the tenacity of Mega Man fans: "While playing classic [Mega Man], for a while I found it too difficult and wanted to give up," the former Capcom exec said. "But even then, I would desperately continue to clear the stage. Nobody can forget the feeling of finally beating Wilys stage after all that work, defeating the UFO and watching the ending." The obstacle in front of fans now -- the "Dr. Wily" -- is Capcom.

Nintendo could be preparing to announce a new 'Pokemon Grey' title if a newly-registered web domain is anything to go by.
A 'Pokemongrey.com' has been registered by Melbourne IT Digital Brand Services - the same firm that set up Nintendo's Pokemonblackwhite.com website.
A 'Grey' game, while rather naff-sounding, would follow Nintendo's typical release conventions with the Pokemon series, each iteration of which has first released with two versions, later followed by a third (note, Pokemon Red/Blue followed by Yellow, or Pokemon Diamond and Pearl, followed by Platinum).
Could Pokemon Black/White be set for a third version?
Pokémon Black & White sold over 1.08 million copies combined in their first day on sale in the US, smashing all previous sales records for the series.

 Nintendo is springing another press event on us, this Friday, October 21 at 8PM (7AM EDT). The pre-recorded presentation will be streamed online, and will focus on the upcoming November firmware update for 3DS, along with details about Mario Kart 7's wireless functions (probably referring to online play).
Those two things alone don't seem like much for a press conference, so either this thing will be mercifully brief or there will be some surprises. There might be more to this firmware update than video recording. Maybe.

Lego Batman 2 and a videogame based on Peter Jackson's impending The Hobbit movie are among Warner Bros Interactive's plans for 2012, the publisher has revealed.
WBI's president Martin Tremblay mentioned the two games in an LA Times interview, along with a mystery title featuring a DC Comics character.
It also has a number of casual online titles in development for younger players at a new Montreal studio, based on various Warner brands.
The first Lego Batman title launched back in 2008, picking up a very respectable 8/10 from Eurogamer's Dan Whitehead.
The publisher has had a pretty impressive 2011 so far, with Mortal Kombat, hit downloadable RPG Bastion and Batman: Arkham City all under its belt.

3DS beast-battler Monster Hunter Tri G will not feature online play, publisher Capcom has announced.
Confirmation came out of an FAQ on the game's official site, as translated by Siliconera.
Local multiplayer will be supported however, and there will be post launch DLC.
While the Wii original featured full online play, none of the PSP Monster Hunter Portable titles have done so.
The game is out in Japan in December, with no European date yet confirmed.

Forthcoming Wii adventure The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword originally featured traditional button controls, the game's producer has revealed.
Speaking in a new Iwata Asks interview on Nintendo's Japanese site, as translated bySiliconera, series producer Eiji Aonuma revealed that, even though director Hidemaro Fujibayashi had experimented with MotionPlus controls when production started, he remained skeptical.
It wasn't until Aonuma saw the sword fighting mini-games in Wii Sports Resort that he changed his mind, by which time design lead Ryuji Kobayashi was finishing up button controls for combat.
Elsewhere in the interview it was revealed that the game's flying beetle item was initially a boomerang, before evolving into a flying hand, and then its final form.
Fujibayashi also apparently experimented with an inventory system that saw you twisting the Remote to cycle between items, but it was scrapped because of the wrist's limited turning radius.

[Larsim] worked out the timing necessary to read button and joystick data from an N64 controller using an ATtiny85 microcontroller. The project was spawned when he found this pair of controllers in the dumpster. We often intercept great stuff bound for the landfill, especially on Hippie Christmas when all the student switch apartments at the same time.
Instead of cracking the controllers open and patching directly to the buttons, [Larsim] looked up the pinout of the connector and patched into the serial data wire. In true hacker fashion, he used two 5V linear regulators and a diode in series to step his voltage source down to close to 3.6V, as he didn’t have a variable regulator on hand. It does sound like this causes noise which can result if false readings, but that can be fixed with the next parts order.
The controller waits for a polling signal before echoing back a response in which button data is embedded. This process is extremely quick, and without a crystal on hand, the chip needs to be configured to use its internal PLL to ramp the R/C oscillator up to 16Mhz. With the chip now running fast enough, an external interrupt reads the serial response from the controller, and the code reacts based on that input.
It seems the biggest reason these N64 controllers hit the trash can is because the analog joystick wears out. If you’ve got mad skills you can replace it with a different type.

Nintendo's twin-screen wonder has seen almost as many reinventions as Lady Gaga, so it may not come as a huge shock to hear that the DS (in all its guises) has now sold over 50 million units in the US. The home entertainment maestros are still chasing similar success for its three-dimensional sibling, the 3DS, however. Nintendo has managed to sell almost half a million three dee units units after its weighty price cut, but there's now some very potent competitors seeking their own slice of the (portable) gaming pie. Good luck, Nintendo, you're probably going to need it.

Nintendo has revealed more features to be found in vast upcoming adventure Zelda: Skyward Sword.
THERE MAY BE SPOILERS AHEAD.
Later in Link's quest, gamers will meet the Parella Tribe, an all-new race of squid-like creatures who reside in Lake Floria.
This new aquatic location is found in a remote part of Faron Woods.
Players will be able to use Skyward Sword's Motion Plus controls to swim and dive around the environment.
Also new to the series is the ability to craft potions from a variety of insects found throughout the game.
Bugs can be collected, presumably squashed, and used to infuse a variety of potions at the bazaar in Skyloft.
Floating nearby is Fun Fun Island. A bizarre-looking clown chap lives there, and he'll rope you into a side-quest for him before you can enjoy any of the island's attractions.
Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword launches 18th November in Europe. New footage of Link exploring Lake Floria lies below.

You didn't expect the Olympics to land in London without a video game tie-in snapping at its heels, did you? Of course not, but did you expect it to be bundled with a powder-blue console? Here's the skinny: Nintendo's Mario & Sonic at the 2012 Olympic Games Limited Edition Pack pairs the outfit's upcomingGamecube-free Wii refresh with the ghetto fabulous chromatic pop of the 1970s' tackiest grooviest tuxedo craze. Like the "Family Edition" bundle that clued us in on the hardware refresh, this package has only been announced for Europe, and there's still no word on how much either set will cost. Nintendo of Europe says they will be announcing additional bundles later this year, but if you just have to have a matching console for your blue Wiimote, you can pick one up November 18th.

Amazon Japan has revealed the packaging for the 3DS Extension Slide Pad.
 We think that's the official name for the peripheral, which we still refer to as thecontroversial 3DS circle pad add-on.
Adding a second analogue controller and shoulder buttons when attached to the portable, the cradle accessory will support games like Monster Hunter 3G, Resident Evil Revelations and Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D.
It'll be released with Monster Hunter 3DS in Japan on December 10, but will also be available on its own for 1,500 yen (about £12.50). A UK release date hasn't been announced yet.
