Most of us won’t be in Japan for the upcoming Nintendo World 3DS event, but the impressive lineup of playable titles is still worth a mention.

Paramount Pictures has released the full-length trailer for True Grit, starring Jeff Bridges, Matt Damon, Josh Brolin, and newcomer Hailee Steinfeld.

The Sony Computer Entertainment president strongly hints at a combination of traditional buttons and a touchscreen for the next PlayStation handheld.

The gaming world didn’t stop while you were opening presents and celebrating. For example, here’s a teaser trailer for Tekken Tag Tournament 2.

Today via Twitter, new Soul Calibur director Daishi Odashima and Tekken Guru Katsuhiro Harada confirmed that a new Soul Calibur is in the pipeline.

Updating a classic Nintendo platformer for the new generation, Donkey Kong more than compensates for a lack of originality by being the best at what it does. A challenging yet extremely fun quest to save your bananas which should be played by everyone.

Electronic Arts and Valve have announced that the upcoming Portal 2 will be distributed through the publisher’s EA Partners.
