The NBA Jam HD Release Date has been set, and what was once thought to be exclusive to the Wii has branched out onto the PS3 and the Xbox 360. NBA Jam HD is said to have tailored itself after more of an online game experience after NBA Jam fans expressed online play as their number one concern. You will be able to play classic mode right out of the box and you can expect team-up, remix online, Jam Party, Online Progression, and even secret players and teams a month after its release on November 17th, 2010. If it is anything like the original NBA Jam, NBA Jam HD should prove to be a classic as well.

Donkey Kong Country Returns to the Wii as debuted at E3 this year and it looks like a blast from the past and we have screenshots for Donkey Kong. It returns to the roots of the original SNES title with a side-scrolling platformer, complete with the blast barrels, mine carts, and all those extra secret goodies that made Donkey Kong Country a name. Retro studios has been heading up the project with Nintendo to bring one little innovation that will make it fun for all to play is that now Diddy and Donkey Kong can play at the same exact time, either together or separately throughout the levels.

With the Release of Metroid : Other M Close to coming out, I figure a glimpse of this trailer is in order. Check it out.

I have been playing these games since they first came out, and even I did not know half of the stuff on this infographic. The fact that mario was originally a carpenter and not a plumber and the reason for his “career change” was all the pipes in the landscape(good move nintendo). Additionally Peach wasn’t the first damsel in distress, that it was pauline, named after the wife of Don James(Nintendo America Employee). The only thing that I see that this infographic has left off was that there was a second Super Mario Bros. released in Japan (between Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Bros. 2 here in America) that has not seen daylight in America, and was pretty much the same as the first for those who have been able to play it. Also if memory serves right, there was a code for Super Mario All-stars for Super Nintendo that unlocked this version.
