Sure, knockoffs try to make their systems look exactly like their authentic counterpart, but sometimes, their naming scheme can be quite strange, literally.

Set for release on November 13th, is Nintendo’s long-awaited Super Mario 3D Land for the 3DS. This game “might best be described as a hybrid of New Super Mario Bros. and Super Mario Galaxy; while you have freedom to move around in 3-D space, the levels are laid out in a linear fashion and you often view the action from the side.” Product page. Videos after the break. Click here to see more.

While some levels take a more non-linear approach and play with the camera angles, this happens gradually as you play through the game; clearly, Nintendo is trying to ease the casual players into the more complicated gameplay styles.

After months of waiting and dozens of fan-made concepts later, the Nintendo 3DS was officially revealed at the 2010 E3 Expo today. One attendee who got to experience this console says: “The hype is correct: 3D. No glasses. The images do not just fall back into the screen as some people thought. They come out at you. IN 3D! WITH NO GLASSES! It is absolutely surreal.” Video after the break. Click here for first picture in gallery.

The new analog slider on the left feels a lot like the PSP’s analog nub, but larger and without the texture. It’s a bit easier on the fingers, and comfortable. Overall the device feels just like a current DS or DSi.
