Corrupted Super Mario 64 shows the real mushroom kingdom
Sometimes cartridges go bad. We can't explain what is going on in this footage of a corrupted Super Mario 64, presented by the same individual who posted that creepy Sesame Street footage earlier this year, but at least we know to avoid Princess Peach when she's baking a cake. Peach smash!...

Japanophiles and sales chart nerds, it's that time of week again to take a look at last week's sales in the Land of the Rising Sun.

Another Week in Japan: Hardware and software numbers 3/3-3/9
To most of us, Metroid Prime 3: Corruption is old news. The U.S. has had it since last summer, and even Europe has been enjoying the game for a few months now. It only debuted in Japan last week, though, and we were happily surprised to see it make the top five. It only sold 32,000 copies in its fir...
Japan to get corrupted in March
Metroid Prime 3: Corruption has finally been set for Japan, it seems. The game is reported to have a March 6th release date in the eastern country (and you PALs thought you had to wait a long time for it). It's no secret that Metroid games don't sell as well in Japan as they do elsewhere, and we do...

Retro Studios president and CEO Michael Kelbaugh...
Hype isn't everything: MP3 punks down BioShock

Both shooters, both with their own unique spin on the genre, both flagship titles for their respective systems, at least for a while -- since both are followed by even bigger titles soon to come. So what's the difference? Well, one (Bio...
