3DS News Thread

If the 3ds Mario World ain't near the level that looked it sounds like I'll put off picking it up for a while longer.

It's not. 3D World looks much better and more imaginative than anything in 3D Land.

Woops, got my names mixed up. I guess that shows how much I pay attention to Mario outside the main 3d outings.

Agreed.  I'm not interested in football or Animal Crossing Plaza, although the eShop stuff did look good.

Oh, and if the person who starts the Nintendo Pocket Football Club thread doesn't call it "Nintendo Pocketo Football Crub", I will upset.

Quite pleased about this. This is the localisation of a game called Calciobit in Japan.

Is that any good? I seem to recall NGamer describing it as the dullest thing in the universe.

So, one slight nasty detail about the unified account systems.

When you link your NNID to the 3DS, you'll not be able to change regions any more, and it will erase any money in your other currencies. I only changed it once, to get Pokemon Y 10 hours before release.

This mainly affects people in Australia, who often used the European store for cheaper games, getting round their censorship, etc. And of course, you'll need an NNID to purchase eShop games in future.

So, remember that End Region Locking campaign that was in vogue a while back? Nintendo saw all the miiverse posts, petitions and errm..... made it worse.

It shouldn't be too bad down here for us hopefully as we usually get the games that you lot do on the same day, if anything there will be a fea games that we won't get which are usually anime based (like the One Piece games).

Though if I was to say import a physical copy from EUR would it run in AUS?

Yeah you down under are PAL like Europe, so you can play any physical game.

Yeah wasn't sure with the new more tighter region locking

For the record, I briefly experimented with Pokemon Y. Despite downloading it "from Australia", it still appears in my downloaded games list when I switched back to Blightly.

In other words, the chances of games suddenly vanishing as a result of this = 0.

There's an amazing 3DS offer currently in Europe.

Buy a new 3DS and get Mario 3D Land free.

While this is a good offer, I do think that Nintendo seem to be trying their best to kill any chance the Wii U has of recovery.

At this rate, their greatest competition will be their own handheld.

Yep. This holiday is now free 3D Land vs expensive 3D World - and it applies to the 2DS too.

Good offer, the 3DS family looks the best buy out of any system on the market. Also annoyed that this doesn't start still 27th as I'm buying zelda XL on the 22nd.

Just don't register it till the 27th.

Good Plan

So there's a Louvre Direct.
Miyamoto and Iwata visit the Louvre.
You can also download the 3DS guide for £18. 30 hours of audio commentary! 600 photos!

Random Nintendo strikes again! Miyamoto seems WAY more excited than Iwata.

Louvrely stuff.

Bouvre this man.

I'll just leave this here: http://www.siliconera.com/2013/11/26/new-loveplus-coming-spring-2014-limited-edition-3ds-xls/

That's what would get the Wii U selling in Japan! Of course!

So, the long awaited YouTube app has been stealthily released today
A lot of people are having problems, but it works fine for me.
Its free and only takes 113 blocks.

My 3DS crashed when I put it on sleep mode either during the app or from the home menu whilst the app was open.

Otherwise the app disappointed me. It doesn't feel like an app at all, instead we get what is the mobile site on the bottom screen, just with the videos loading on the top screen (at what looked like 160p resolution to me).

So... Capcpom have used the money from the astounding MH 3DS sales to make.....
A new studio for mobile phone games.  

This ties in to my cynical opinion of third parties: they're only on Nintendo systems reluctantly - as soon as they get a chance to escape, they do so.
