    Words cannot express how excited I am for this game. I've thoroughly enjoyed all of the Phoenix Wright and Professor Layton games on my DS, and the combination of these two legendary characters and gameplay styles into a single title is reason enough to purchase a Nintendo 3DS. The game will be landing in Japan in 2012, but unfortunately no US release has been announced.

    At Nintendo's pre-Tokyo Game Show conference, the company announced a new Mario Tennis title for the 3DS console. The new entrant in the excellent sports series will be coming in 2012, and is being developed by Camelot, who made the superb Mario Tennis Power Tour and Mario Golf Advance Tour for the Game Boy Advance.

    While the game selection for the 3DS has been slim up until now, it seems like Nintendo is committed to get some exciting games out through the holidays and into the new year. Check out the trailer to see a taste of the action.

    So it seems the rumors are true. While it wasn't unveiled in Nintendo's pre-TGS press conference, they have unveiled on their website a new analog stick attachment for the 3DS. The new peripheral will cost $19.50 when it launches in Japan on December 10th. It will have compatibility with the new Resident Evil, Metal Gear Solid, and Monster Hunter, amongst others.

    Personally, I'm a bit baffled by the attachment, since it could potentially fragment the market and confuse developers. However, Nintendo is no stranger to specialized equipment, having already released add-ons like the Wii Balance Board and Motion Plus controller. However, I think that portable players will be a bit miffed about Nintendo's continuing revisions to the troubled portable.
