China has always been a hotspot for videogame piracy. Even though the largest markets for videogames has always been Japan, North American and Europe, the 1.3 billion or so population of China has gone relatively untapped, almost exclusively in part to the piracy of games, movies and other entertainment media.

The Nintendo president will soon head Down Under to investigate Nintendo's poor performance, among other things.

Satoru Iwata has never been to Australia, but he soon means to fix that. Before the end of the year, he'll make the trip to the island nation to find out exactly why the GameCube is so far behind the Xbox and PlayStation 2 in the region, moreso than any other part of the world.

"First of all, I am most sorry that the GameCube's performance is bad in Australia among any area in the world," he says.

Those in the Maryland area can attend a program that can help you get your foot in the videogame door.

Here it is, the hidden footage Metroid fans have been waiting for.

You may have seen the E3 footage of Samus wall-jumping back and forth through a vertical corridor. What you probably haven't seen is the other Screw Attack footage, the one proving that this famous move can indeed be used anywhere in the game, and that it even includes (or can be combined with) a new Space Jump, which lets Samus literally fly.

Well, well, look at this little guy.
