IARC rating system now live for the eShop
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 5 Comments
We’ve previously talked about the IARC rating system and how it would be extremely beneficial for eShop developers as well as gamers in general. Thanks to what it provides, anyone can easily submit their title and have it rated in various regions.
We recently heard that the IARC rating system would be coming very soon to the eShop. And interestingly, it looks like this has now happened. Information coming from a pair of independent developers reveal that the system is up and running for Nindies. We probably won’t see any immediate results, but developers are now starting to take advantage of what the IARC provides.

Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam has features to make things easier for newcomers
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 5 Comments
Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam’s difficulty will probably be just fine for experienced players. However, if you’re a newcomer, Nintendo has included a couple of features to make things easier.
First up is the introduction of an Easy Mode, which increases your characters’ strength. Nintendo is also including an Assist Mode to help players know who enemies are targeting in battle. It’s also worth mentioning that Toad will give you some advice saying that you should stay in battles (as opposed to running away, which will ensure that you gain experience and level up), and that equipment should be regularly upgraded.

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, DSiWare, News, Wii Shop Channel, Wii U eShop | 4 Comments
Nintendo’s various shops are undergoing some heavy maintenance in just a few days. This will begin Sunday evening for those of you in North America and in the very early morning on Monday over in Europe. The Wii U and 3DS eShops, Wii Shopping Channel, and DSi Shop will be affected.
The upcoming maintenance is particularly notable due to its length. It seems that the maintenance period will last nearly an entire day.
Here’s the full breakdown of times:
– 7 PM PT (Sunday) – 7 PM PT (Monday)
– 10 PM ET (Sunday) – 10 PM ET (Monday)
– 3 AM in the UK (Monday) – 3 AM in the UK (Tuesday)
– 4 AM in Europe (Monday) – 4 AM in Europe (Tuesday)
As for the reasoning behind the downtime, Nintendo says that it’s planning a large-scale exchange of servers. It’s also possible that the maintenance will end a bit early, though you should definitely expect it to take awhile!
