Fire Emblem 3DS will be first Nintendo title to get paid DLC

There have been software updates to fix games, and even firmware downloads to patch security issues but there’s yet to be found any paid DLC (downloadable content, for all you non-gamers) on a Nintendo system to date. Well, that’s all about to change, now that a new Fire Emblem game is heading onto the 3DS, and will be bringing with it additional content for you to throw your hard earned pennies at Nintendo, cause y’know… they don’t already have enough of it. Reports are also saying that the Wii U will also take advantage of paid DLC. — More after the break!

Kingdom Hearts 3D gets new 8-min. Jump Festa trailer -- (Video)

For over half a decade we’ve been waiting for Kingdom Hearts 3, but Square’s other projects (namely, Final Fantasy Versus XIII) has kept the KH series on portable systems. That being said however, we’ve never been short changed in terms of quality gameplay or story advancement in these handheld titles. And if anything, while its plot continues to get even more complex, Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance is a testament to the amount of work these games gets due its large fanbase and continued success — especially with the inclussion of words from The Hunchback of Notre Dame, Three Mousekateers, Tron: Legacy, and The World Ends With You.

Free GBA games for 3DS Ambassadors now available for download

You’d think that as part of their loyal fanbase who went out and dished out over $200 to buy the hulking 3DS machine, Nintendo would at least be kind enough to tell us when their GBA line-up was ready for download, right? Well, the games are available now and NOA is still mum through both press release and 3DS notification. Weird, I would say but at least  the games and release dates formally announced through Nintendo of Europe remain unchanged for those of us in the states. Download them now! — More after the break!

Titles for free GBA games for 3DS Ambassadors announced, releasing Dec. 16th

Remember back in summer when Nintendo admitted they sorta boned all those people who paid full price for the 3DS, since they went ahead with an $80 price cut less than 4 months after its release? Yeah, well if you do then you might recall the “3DS Ambassador program” they came up with to show their loyalty to those Nintendrones, I mean customers — what am I saying, I waited in line to pick mine up at midnight — by offering 10 free NES and 10 free GBA games exclusively to them. That being said, the NES games came out in September, and now finally the GBA games are only days away from being downloadable. — More after the break!

3DS gets updated today, comes packed with 3D video shooting and more

While everyone’s been clamoring and complaining over the new Xbox dashboard update, Nintendo’s been quietly updating their new handheld. Loaded with a ton of new features, the 3DS is now ready for the holidays, giving kids and adults a whole new way to create modern, Gameboy Camera-like experiences with the use of 3D video shooting capabilities and the additional stop-motion mode. — More after the break!

Major firmware update for 3DS due out by December 8th

We heard talk about an incoming update for the 3DS that was going to enhance many of the onboard capabilities for the 3D, but we never posted any details on it since we weren’t sure when it was going to launch. Well, strike that — Nintendo originally hoped to see it out to the masses by the end of November but now it seems that’s been delayed. But don’t fret, you’ll see it out by Dec. 8th. So what do you get with this ‘major’ update? Well, the ability to take 3D video, for starters. — More after the break! 

3DS - Super Mario 3D Land review

Mario’s always been known for bringing something new to the table with every major release we’ve seen on a console. The handheld department however, has always sorta just stayed with the 2D formula. And with the exception of NSMB, Mario games in the sense of running and jumping, haven’t always been that prevalent on mobile systems like the GBA or DS. But with 3D Land, we’re now venturing into the third-dimension, in a game that is a mix between everything we’ve come to love from just about every major Mario game — from Super Mario Bros. to Super Mario Galaxy. But does it have an identity of its own, or is it just a culmination of old ideas slapped together for profit? — Our full review after the break!
