Nikkei has revealed the first details on the upcoming video recording service for the 3DS.

The site reports that users can record up to ten minutes of footage. Also, it seems that you’ll be able to upload the video to YouTube. Keep in mind that this piece of information hasn’t been confirmed, though it’s sounding likely.

Of course, the main hook of the application is that the footage can be recorded in 3D.

Nikkei says that the software will be made available in late November – in spite of what we heard yesterday. More details on the 3D video recording app and further firmware news will be shared tomorrow morning at 7 AM EDT.

70-Piece Orchestra and Live Choir to Perform Music from Iconic Video Game Series at Pantages Theatre on Oct. 21

WHAT:

On Oct. 21 at the historic Pantages Theatre, new symphonic arrangements of songs from the fan-favorite Nintendo franchise will be performed by a 70-piece orchestra and a live choir, spanning a quarter-century of memorable musical themes. Attendees will also enjoy hands-on demos of the latest video games in the Zelda series: The Legend of Zelda™: Skyward Sword, which launches exclusively for the Wii™ system on Nov. 20, and The Legend of Zelda™: Ocarina of Time™ 3D for the Nintendo 3DS™ hand-held system.

Produced by Jason Paul Productions, Inc., producers of the renowned PLAY! A Video Game Symphony concert series, the L.A. concert will be followed by a full tour in 2012. The rich storyline and adventure-based game play of The Legend of Zelda have attracted fans around the globe since the series launched in 1986, selling more than 62 million games worldwide.

During Nintendo’s E3 2011 presentation, EA’s John Riccitello came up on stage to discuss how excited he was about the Wii U. He asked fans to “imagine” what some of the company’s franchise would be like on the console, including Battlefield. Because of this, some people automatically assumed that Battlefield 3 was a shoe-in for the system.

That’s not actually the case. Battlefield 3 is unlikely to be released for the Wii U because it “is so far out” according to DICE’s Patrick Liu. Moreover, the studio says that “there is nothing planned” for the hardware just yet,


Just wanted to take a moment to inform you all that the update schedule might be erratic today. Earlier this morning, I had to deal with a family emergency that topped off two months of hellish events that I could probably write about for an hour. Since I don’t have time, though, I won’t!

I’ve already asked Austin if he could step in here and there, so we’ll see what happens with that. I’m still aiming to keep things fairly normal on the site, but if you see periods of inactivity, at least you’ll know that I’m still alive!
