3DS News Thread

It can go one of 3 ways:

1. We'll get it no problem
2. If you know about it and pre order it somewhere you'll get it
3. Senran Kagura?? What Senran Kagura?

Or it will be banned just because of katsuragi and her outfit

Personally I have no use for a side-scrolling boob 'em up. No love lost for that genre...

Reading this, all I can think of is "what configuration should a boob-em-up be? Top-down? Isometric? 3D? Text-only?"

Top-down! See what you did there.

I don't know. I swear. Can you reveal its identitty?

Seriously I think it will happen. They look like they want a global release.

Spoiler:

Eh if it doesn't come out here I'll just download it on my jap 3ds

So the big N has confirmed the following for North America at least for this fall, can't see it being much different for Europe.

November 22nd, Nintendo will release The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds (Getting) as well as Mario Party: Island Tour for $39.99 each.

Nintendo also re-confirmed the following list of upcoming third-party titles due out on 3DS this fall:

Scribblenauts Unmasked: A DC Comics Adventure - September 24
LEGO Marvel Super Heroes: Universe in Peril - Fall
Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate - October 25
Skylanders SWAP Force - October 13
Adventure Time: Explore the Dungeon Because I DON’T KNOW! - November 19
Sonic Lost World - October 22

Not really that much especially if you look at the Wii U but hey most of us will be still trying to catch them all.

And you lot get Scribblenauts unlimited in December I think which I know you are all still so excited about  

Lot's of Nintendo Handheld news,

Ghostlight's Devil Survivor 2 campaign hits target

Rage of the Gladiator was one of WiiWare's big-hitting titles a few years back before hopping over to smartphones to thrill iOS and Android players. However, the circle of life looks like it could become complete once more as the game heads back in the direction of Nintendo — recent PEGI and USK ratings suggest that a 3DS eShop launch is forthcoming.

So, Japanese Nintendo Direct revealed MonHun 4 would have Mario and Luigi Felyne costumes and Link armour. Woot!

Who's next for the Mario & Luigi costume treatment? Everyone's in line, but I'm thinking Cristiano Ronaldo and Gareth Bale in FIFA 15.

Surely Chucklevision: the Game would be the obvious contender.

Rune Factory 4 EU Info

Monster Hunter 4 has sold 2 million in just 4 days in Japan.
It means that more people own MH4 there than own a Vita.. or a Wii U.

Two new special edition 3DS XL's

http://www.computerandvideogames.com/433796/zelda-and-luigi-3ds-xl-consoles-confirmed-for-europe/

I'm so getting that Zelda 3DS XL

I'd like to get the Zelda one but can't really justify it with only recently getting the Pokemon one, unless I replace my jap 3DS with an XL

I'm definitely in the market for an XL and that Luigi edition is very tempting, it's between that and the Pokemon X edition.

Question: When transferring data to a new 3DS will you need a second SD Card to transfer everything or can it only be done for stuff saved on the system?

I just took the SD card out of one and put in the other then did the transfer with no problems

Ah good, also forgot they actually come with an SD Card which helps.

Not sure if it should go here or 2DS thread but look at this is it real or not, and what you think. I quite like it and still on the fence to either buy another 3DS in 2DS form so I've got two or trade in mine and get the Zelda XL but only have one.

Now that colour scheme looks great & certainly better than the other recently announced "special editions" 3ds XLs.

One question though isn't 2ds two tone? so that system should be green on the back.

No at the moment the white is all white with red on the outside and the middle.

Seems a bit lazy to be a Luigi Special Edition.

Nintendo has discontinued SwapNote/LetterBox and FlipNote 3D worldwide due to kids seeing inappropriate images.

Notice about service for Nintendo 3DS software Swapnote

2013-10-31
Thank you for your support.

Nintendo has learned that some consumers, including minors, have been exchanging their friend codes on Internet bulletin boards and then using Swapnote (known as Nintendo Letter Box in other regions) to exchange offensive material. Nintendo has been investigating ways of preventing this and determined it is best to stop the SpotPass feature of Swapnote because it allows direct exchange of photos and was actively misused.

Nintendo always wants to provide a positive experience for all consumers and limit the risk of any inappropriate activity or misuse of a service. We feel it is important on this occasion to take this action.

We are very sorry for any inconvenience to the many consumers who have been using this service responsibly; however this decision was made considering the point that many minors also use this feature of Swapnote. Thank you for your understanding.

Nintendo will continue to work to ensure more consumers are aware of our Parental Control features, which allow parents to manage their children’s experience on our systems. For more information, please click here.

Service stop date: Thursday, Oct. 31, 2013, 7 p.m. PT
Service being stopped: Nintendo 3DS software Swapnote – Sending and receiving notes using SpotPass
Affected regions: All regions where the service was offered
Special Notes services are also stopped

Farewell Letterbox. You were rudely unappreciated by many, but I always always remember the hours my artificially inflated Activity log figure says I spent with you.

I actually kinda expected this. 3DS Miiverse must surely be on the way (which is moderated), and no console needs 2 messaging systems.
