Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 1 Comment
Tank Troopers, a new digital title for 3DS, was announced during the September Nintendo Direct. We now have word that Nintendo will publish the game in Japan on December 21. Retailer Rakuten lists the date, along with an 800 yen price point.
According to Nintendo, Tank Troopers “lets players customize their tank through special characteristics of tank-pilot Troopers, enabling abilities such as hitting enemies with a freeze attack, launching paint balls to block the opponents’ views or using electric shocks to stall rival tanks where they stand.” A six-person multiplayer mode is included plus Download Play.
A specific western release date for Tank Troopers has not yet been announced, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see it in North America and Europe this month as well.

Amazon now selling digital codes for eShop credit
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii U eShop | 7 Comments
Wii U and 3DS eShop cards tend to come in denominations of $10, $20, $35, and $50. However, Amazon now has new digitals options for all of these, plus a few new ones.
You can see all of the eShop cash values on Amazon here.The big ones though are $5, $45, and $70. These are codes rather than cards, meaning you’ll be able to redeem credit right away. Some folks are also speculating that we could see $5, $45, and $70 cards in the future, but that’s obviously not confirmed at the moment.
Thanks to Brandon and Arison for the tip.
