As some of you know, hacker “smealum” has been tinkering away on homebrew for 3DS. It’s all being done through the exploit known as “SSSPwn”, which will be available very soon. We’re hearing reports that the exploit will be released this Saturday – November 22.

3DS owners will be able to install homebrew on their system by using a cheap, old game available in all regions (though it’s not out digitally everywhere). Note that piracy will not be enabled. It will instead allow custom applications to be added such as “3DScraft”, and there is a possibility that region locking could be disabled in the future.

Thanks to Edgarska for the tip.

To be the main voice in a strange Japanese RPG that seemed fated for nothing but cult status in the west probably wasn’t the most notable credit on actor Adam Howden’s resume at the time of recording. Indeed, he did the beloved voice of Shulk in Xenoblade Chronicles on Wii – and by proxy, Smash Bros. – but has also lent his voice to things like Assassin’s Creed and The Old Republic, and it’s more or less chance that the 2011 (or 2012… or 2010, depending on your region…) ended up being his most renowned role, at least among the Nintendo-focused.

For some strange reason – being the talent that he is – Adam agreed to answer a few of our questions about Xenoblade, Smash Bros., and voice acting in general in an email interview we did. You can read all of what he had to say after the break!

Earlier this week, Nintendo announced that it has teamed up with Loot Crate for a limited time amiibo subscription service. All of the figures have now been confirmed, and pricing has been revealed.

Nintendo fans have two pricing options available to them. They are as follows:

In week one, consumers will receive the Mario, Donkey Kong, Kirby, and Pikachu amiibo figures along with a collectible mini-mag plus an exclusive sticker and wristband. Yoshi, Fox, Peach, and Samus will follow in week two with another mini-mag and an exclusive cinch bag. To close things out, Luigi and Zelda will be sent in week three with yet another mini-mag and “an ultra rare t-shirt”.

You can find more information over on Loot Crate. Note that crates can only be shipped to the U.S.
