February 7th cannot come soon enough.

Also [tornado fang] yeah on the Miiverse. This should also mean we'll be able to take screens of 3DS games in a way similar to how we can on Wii U (pause game, home menu, miiverse, add image to post).

[Police Girl]

Unfortunately the Combined eShop doesn't seem to merge purchases according to that.
Would be nice to get NES games on my 3DS that I bought on the Wii U and Vice-versa.

[Protoman Blues]

Speaking of eShop, they will soon be hosting Weekly Character Deal.

Or let us play our 3DS games on the Wii U, like transmit the video to the system. That would be nifty.

[Protoman Blues]

I thought I'd mention it in here as well...I REALLY WANT THAT LINK PIN!!!! 

[Phi]

The pin looks nice, though I'm more interested in that statue.

[Protoman Blues]

Well yes, I'd like the statue as well. Haha, the pin is more realistic!

Haha yeah like that 1DS prank thing.

That'd be cool, but knowing Nintendo that's not in the cards.

Ditto.  Twilight Princess is my favorite Zelda, and my wife is a big fan of horses.  It would be the PERFECT excuse for me to get some nerdy memorabilia on display outside of the usual mancave (read: basement).

[Phi]

Europe got a Bravely Default eShop demo.

FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF

I'd need the whole set. That statue, the Midna/Wolf Link statue, and the Ganondorf statue

[Police Girl]

Kirby 3DS already has a site up in Japan.

The game's coming out January 11th there, so they must be pretty close to done already.

And it seems we can't blame an Angry Kirby on the boxart on the US this time.

This is a pretty interesting read. It gives some insight into the challenge of bringing games over to the 3DS.

[Reaperoid]

Yeah, I saw that. I read the Space Harrier article aswell.

Speaking of, the amount of detail they went into for these 3D releases is amazing. I was reading a review of 3D Super Hang-On, they even put in gyro controls where you can see the arcade cab tilt on the screen.

[Phi]

This is a pretty interesting read. It gives some insight into the challenge of bringing games over to the 3DS.

It's slightly amusing to see Yosuke Okunari represented as "YO".  So I'd read a sentence like, "YO, it's their layout" as opposed to "YO: It's their layout"

Also, I really want that "Sonic Death" shirt.

But, about the article, that was a really interesting read. You'd think it'd be easy to emulate, given the 3DS' power.

[Hypershell]

I wouldn't believe for one second that they couldn't get the game running, but I guess it all depends on what level of emulation quality they consider acceptable.  There was a Genesis compilation on the regular DS, after all.

[Police Girl]

3DS Miiverse update is probably coming today as the eShop is down for maintenance.

It's all about emulating the water. Probably.

[Police Girl]

    Improved system stability and usability:

            Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience

[Mirby]

I also like that you need to hit L+R to use the camera from the HOME menu. much lower chance of accidentally starting it up by bumping L or R.

Posted on: December 10, 2013, 01:01:26 AMYo, the Bravely Default demo's up on the NA eShop right now. It's fantastic.

[Phi]

[parasitic bomb], I almost forgot about that. Thanks for the reminder.

[Mirby]

No problem. A word of advice though: Don't wander off too far until you've leveled up a bit. I found a dungeon to the south of the starting area and was nearly wiped out.

[Sakura Leic]

Well I played a bit of it and I like it, though it is a bit challenging at times though I am playing at Normal difficulty.  Also Charm sucks so much and I kind of don't like how time only passes in the village when you do projects when the game is on, especially when I have to get rid of a rock that takes 10 hours.  I hope I can get some Street Passes next week.

[Mirby]

I'm leaving that 10 hour rock for when I sleep lol

[Sakura Leic]

That is genius.
