Create your own Nintendo Zone for StreetPass relays

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment

The latest 3DS update allows for new functionality to be experienced at Nintendo Zones. By visiting certain locations, you can receive StreetPass communications from other system owners who were there previously.

However, some people may not be interested in visiting places such as McDonalds simply to be involved with StreetPass. There is, fortunately, a workaround.

Here are the steps:

1. Change your Wi-Fi router/stick/phone MAC address to a shared one.
2. Change your router/stick/phone SSID to attwifi (or any other “good” Nintendo Zone ID)
3. Close your 3DS in sleep mode.

Seems pretty simple! Plenty of 3DS users have reported that this method works well enough, so it should come in handy.

Masahiro Sakurai (Smash Bros. creator) writes a column about game development, says many people may not realize how difficult it is

Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii, Wii U | 4 Comments

The following is a column that Smash Bros. and Kid Icarus: Uprising creator wrote for Famitsu magazine in Japan. He starts off reminiscing about the three years it took to make Super Smash Bros. Brawl:

“When you think about three years like that, that’s the amount of time between entering middle or high school and graduating from it [in Japan]. You have all these people working their fingers to the bone to complete just a single project. The games I make tend to be played for a long time, and whether I’m satisfied with the results or there are things I’m not happy with, it always takes a lot of time to make them.”

Mega Evolution Will Transform Pokemon and Revolutionize Battles in Pokemon X/Y

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments

A Special Limited-Time Wi-Fi Distribution Event to Celebrate Mega Evolution Begins
Worldwide on October 12th, 2013
BELLEVUE, WA–August 9, 2013–In what could be described as an Evolution beyond all Evolutions, Mega Evolution is a new, awe-inspiring transformation certain Pokémon can undergo during battle in the highly anticipatedPokémon X and Pokémon Y video games. Pokémon that Mega Evolve will tap into hidden reserves of strength and power that have never been realized in their regular Evolutions, giving players battling with a Mega-Evolved Pokémon a dominant advantage. Mega Evolutions will revolutionize Pokémon battles and usher in a new Pokémon transformation never before seen in the Pokémon world.
Pokémon like Mega Mewtwo and Mega Lucario will harness the power of Mega Evolution in battle and will see their looks change and stats increase, giving Trainers a great advantage against their opponents. Some Pokémon that Mega Evolve may even change their Ability or type while in battle. Only certain Pokémon, under certain conditions, can Mega Evolve, and unlike regular Evolution, Mega Evolution only occurs during battle–once the battle ends, the Mega-Evolved Pokémon will return to its usual state. One crucial element to undergoing Mega Evolution is a particular kind of item called a Mega Stone. Mega Stones are special stones that exist for all Pokémon that can Mega Evolve, each named after the Pokémon to which it grants power. For instance, the Lucarionite Mega Stone will help Lucario Mega Evolve. Mega Stones are hidden throughout the Kalos region, and players must find them to unlock the incredible power of Mega Evolution.
