The video is off-screen, though you can definitely see some text that says “3D video camera available to download from 30th November.” I’m guessing that this isn’t just some arbitrary date that Nintendo of Europe picked, so the new 3DS update will likely go live on that day.


Two new rewards have been added to the Japanese Club Nintendo website. Members can now use their coins to purchase a Super Mushroom Tote Bag or The Legend of Zelda Poster Set.

The tote bag will set you back 350 points. It holds up to 8 kilograms of “stuff”.

The poster set, meanwhile, will provide you with three B2-sized posters for 250 coins. It comes with a general 25th anniversary poster as well as two posters for Skyward Sword.

Nintendo has reconfirmed that Metroid II will be available in Europe this Thursday. They’ve also announced the full lineup of digital downloads for the week. Here’s what European gamers can pick up in a few days…

This has been a pretty darn good week for 3DS owners! Sakura Samurai will be made available in the near future, the 3DS firmware update is coming soon, and Metroid II: Return of Samus launches this week. Metroid has already been confirmed for Europe this week, so it’s nice to know that North American gamers will be able to download it as well.

A new game is headed to the Nintendo 3DS™ system, and it won’t be available in stores. Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword™ lets players travel to ancient Japan and guide a young warrior as he battles waves of enemy soldiers to save a princess. He must identify the enemy’s attack move, dodge it by a hair and counter-attack with his own mystical Sakura Sword to win the battle. The game launches in January.

Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword is just one of many high-quality, Nintendo-published downloadable games that can be found in the Nintendo eShop.


This video has been up on the Nintendo Video service for about a week. Those without a 3DS can watch the “Great Fairy’s Fountain” recording now as well.
