Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
StreetPass Mii Plaza received a big update today. There are now two new games, the addition of premium content, and the software itself was upgraded.
Kotaku looked into the different changes in StreetPass Mii Plaza following today’s update. The site shares the following:
– When you meet people’s Miis in the StreetPass plaza, you can greatly reduce time-consuming interactions
– You can take StreetPass games you’re not interested in and hide them
– You can rearrange your StreetPass icons
– You can customize the word balloons you use in your StreetPass greetings
Aside from that, if you purchase StreetPass Mii Plaza Premium, you can collect people’s birthdays, turn some Miis into VIPs so that they never get cleared from your system, and listen to StreetPass Plaza music even when your system is closed.

Nintendo website says you’ll be able to pre-load Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons Super Mario Bros. Edition
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
Pre-loading functionality has been out on Wii U for quite awhile now, but we’ve yet to see the feature be fully utilized on 3DS. In Japan, Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. is the first 3DS game to take advantage of pre-loading. But what about the west?
Nintendo’s website indicates that Puzzle & Dragons Z + Puzzle & Dragons Super Mario Bros. Edition will in fact allow for pre-loading. Consumers can purchase a code, and we assume it can then be used to grab most of the game’s data before launch.

Update: Best Buy, GameStop – Mario Maker pre-orders up on Amazon
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 7 Comments
Update (4/16): Pre-orders open on Best Buy and GameStop.
Amazon opened Mario Maker pre-orders for a very brief period during E3 week last year. After just a couple of days, the retailer’s listing was pulled.
Amazon’s Mario Maker listing is finally back up and running – likely because Nintendo announced a September launch month last week. If you’d like to reserve it, you can do so here.
