Today in Gaming - 3/8/11: Dance Hero, De Niro on Uncharted Film

Shocking: New Pokemon game is a success. Selling more than one million copies in just one day in the United States is nothing to scoff at, most certainly. At the same time, I know that a lot of people were probably hoping it wouldn't do nearly as well so that Nintendo would feel obligated to shake things up more drastically for the inevitable sequels (Orange and Brown aren't that exciting sounding, are they?). I'm enjoying the game despite it mostly feeling like the same thing I've played six times before, but I do hope that the innovation is kicked up a few notches for the first 3DS Pokemon game. Like a hypocrite, though, I'll likely buy the next one, innovative or not.

Today's highlights:

• Deus Ex: Human Revolution is officially coming this August.
• Dance Hero is reportedly in development.
• Nyko is coming out with a replacement battery for 3DS, doubling its battery life.
• The 3DS and Pokemon Black/White are to blame for the drought of first-party Wii games.
• Microsoft continues to solicit developer feedback to improve Games for Windows Live.
• A networking company is going to try setting a world record with a 1,000-player FPS.
• A look at Uncharted 3's antagonist.
• Game Night with the 3DS is set for Wednesday night at 5:00pm PST.
• MyCheats' Dragon Age 2 walkthrough is live here.
• Check out this video demo of Epic Games' next-gen tech demo from GDC.
