I would love to see out of print or hard to find DS games on the eShop. 999 is a great game, but I know it's been hard to track down lately.

(In stock at Amazon.com, and was only $15 over the week of Thanksgiving.)

I could see Nintendo doing this in order to resell us all of the DS games they made. I prefer digital download becuase it helps clear up space on my shelf.

Oops, fail on my part. I actually recently bought my copy on Amazon a month or so ago. I was pretty sure it was out of stock for some time before that, but there were definitely only a few left (it says that one the site sometimes) when I bought it.

Stock for this game does seem to be hit-and-miss. Not sure if it was reprinted or not, but it was really tough to find for a while. More likely than not it will disappear again before too long.

Only pointing out that Amazon has some now in case other readers were looking for the game.

I'd rather see Nintendo extend the Selects line to DS games.

Iwata: 200 Titles coming for 3DS and 60% of 3DS users are online.

New 2D Mario platformer coming to 3DS by March 2013.

Ladies, gentlemen and Spykes, the 3DS is now headed to heaven. Please watch your step.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #2183 on:** January 27, 2012, 01:35:58 AM »

Hmm, a little surprising TBH. 2 Original Mario handheld platformers in less than 2 years, GBA had none and DS only had 1.

Is the 3DS going to be the new Wii, in that it gets a bunch of PS2 ports?

Don't be silly. It'll also get N64 ports!

Hey guys I forgot again. How do I download my last free games?

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #2187 on:** January 31, 2012, 07:09:35 PM »

Go to the eShop, go all the way to the left and hit "Settings/Other," then tap "Your Downloads." All 10 games should appear in the list. Click "Redownload."

Caterkiller · « **Reply #2188 on:** February 02, 2012, 05:55:46 PM »

Thankily dankily!

TheFleece · « **Reply #2189 on:** February 05, 2012, 12:48:15 AM »

So I went to the eShop to get the update for Sakura Samurai and noticed a couple of titles had updates and none of them are listed in the Update section. They can be found in Settings/Other and in the 'Your Downloads' section.
There are updates for Donkey Kong, Double Dragon, Gargoyle's Quest, TwinBee, Urban Champion, Pyramids, The Ambassador Certificate and Sakura Samurai.

NeoStar9X · « **Reply #2190 on:** February 05, 2012, 11:04:13 AM »

Yeah. I really wish that Update option worked or they were clear regarding what it's suppose to work for if it doesn't work with downloadable games.

http://mynintendonews.com/2012/02/16/respected-japanese-newspaper-says-developers-are-jumping-ship-from-vita-to-nintendo-3ds/

Major Japanese newspaper Nekkei claims many projects from developers are being canceled for Vita and moving to 3DS.

Sony say's it's not true.

Edit:
Curses! Foiled again!

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #2192 on:** February 16, 2012, 07:26:38 PM »

Of course Sony would deny it, I don't think their investors would like the company admitting that developers are already abandoning the system when it just launched.

Kytim89 · « **Reply #2193 on:** February 17, 2012, 01:55:34 AM »

That article that Caterkiller posted leads me to believe that Nintendo might very well increase the spces for the 3DS Lite to better accomodate Vita ports.

Not gonna happen as it would pretty much screw the 15+ million people who own 3DS's. At MOST, you might have a DSi situation where you get like a dozen games that support it. Plus, not really any chance of a 3DS Lite (yes, I know you are talking about a hypothetical revision, regardless of size). Don't expect a revision to have any change in the actual specs of the system.

Sorry, but I was under the impression that the specs could be doubled and when pre-revision 3DS games are played on it they simply use the power of the original 3DS and the post-revison 3DS games would take full advantage of the upgrade. Not being a tech specialist hinders me in debates such as this.

Yes, that could happen but, Think about Perfect Dark you can technically play it without the N64 Expansion Pak. Having done that I can tell you the game modes offered it wasn't worth it. At that point you might as well just start over from scratch. Developers will develop for the Lowest Common Denominator of a platform because that's how you hit the most people.

Anyways I doubt we see any Vita ports or vice versa much anyway. They are different beasts. 3DS has more in common with the WiiU really. In fact if you really take advantage of what makes the Vita special it be hard to port the games to any system regardless of power.

-Zelda producer reconfirms next Zelda for 3DS.

http://mynintendonews.com/2012/02/22/zelda-producer-reconfirms-new-zelda-game-in-the-works-for-nintendo-3ds/

-Cool trailer for Mario Power Tennis. For those who didn't see it yet.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?feature=player_embedded&v=P_UaXFT4nIE

Doesn't look to spectacular, more of the same. That's all I really want from the Gamecube game but with online!

-Iwata asks in Japanese for Kid Icarus.
Use google translate and I swear all they talk about is Smash Bros!

http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/interview/akdj/vol1/index.html

Still better to wait for the official translation.

Fire Emblem: Awakening

I think I will finally own and PLAY a Fire Emblem. I must have had 3 versions and never touched them.

Nemo · « **Reply #2198 on:** February 27, 2012, 12:57:58 PM »

I got a SpotPass notification this morning. A new puzzle has been added and I got a free puzzle piece. It was from Kid Icarus: Uprising. Unfortunately, not a pink/purple piece, but oh well. Anyone else get anything good?

EDIT: for those curious, it has 40 pieces total, 8 special pieces.

EDIT 2: I guess Kid Icarus is the only new puzzle in this batch. If the internet is to be believed.

TJ Spyke · « **Reply #2199 on:** February 27, 2012, 06:35:41 PM »

That's what I got too (yesterday), Kid Icarus puzzle and a non-purple piece to start it.
