All eShop demos come with a limit. For instance, you can only boot up the Project X Demo five times.

Who puts these limits in place? Nintendo won’t say, but an unnamed third-party publisher told Game Informer that the Big N initiates the requirement.

When it comes to official demo information from Nintendo, the only statement shared is as follows: “We don’t discuss our internal business practices.”

Zelda’s first original outing on the 3DS will run at 60 frames-per-secondd in both 2D and 3D.

In an interview with EDGE, Eiji Aonuma said that implementing 60 FPS as opposed to 30 FPS helps to maintain the 3D effect.

He said:

“The game runs at 60FPS, while all the 3D games up till now have run at 30fps. The faster the framerate, the more stable the 3D effect, so 60FPS is a big deal.”

Aonuma also mentioned that players won’t be forced to play in 3D if this is something they aren’t interested in:

“Well, there are players who don’t like 3D and always keep it switched off, so there’s nothing in the game that absolutely requires 3D, like puzzles that can’t be solved without it.”

Nintendo 3DS owners will now be able to access free Wi-Fi through O2 hotspots throughout the UK

3rd June 2013 – Nintendo has today announced a partnership with O2 to provide further Wi-Fi internet access to users of its Nintendo 3DS and Nintendo 3DS XL consoles across thousands of locations in the UK.

Nintendo 3DS owners will now be able to automatically connect to the internet for free whenever they enter locations or venues covered by the O2 Wifi service. These include highstreet locations such as McDonalds, Debenhams, Pizza Hut, Costa Coffee, House of Fraser, Toby Carvery as well as public venues such as The O2, Twickenham, Bluewater and the Central London boroughs of Westminster and Kensington & Chelsea.

There’s no need to worry about any complicated setup on your Nintendo 3DS as just being in range of an O2 Wifi hotspot is enough to go online, providing you have the latest system update. When you are near to a compatible area – all of which can be found using Nintendo’s handy Hotspot finder – the Nintendo Zone icon will blink to notify you that free Wi-Fi internet access is available. Nintendo 3DS owners will then be able to access a multitude of online features, allowing a seamless online user experience whether at home or on the move.
