3DS

If there’s one developer that has praised the Wii U’s technical specs more than any other, it would be Shin’en. The developer has consistently stuck up for the hardware’s GPU in particular. Just a few months ago, Shin’en said that the GPU “is several generations ahead of the current gen.”

Writing on Twitter yesterday, Shin’en once again had high praise for this aspect of the Wii U. The company sent out a couple of tweets stating that the “Wii U GPU and its API are straightforward”, adding how it possesses “plenty of high bandwidth memory” and is “easy” to use.

The tweets are as follows:

Shin’en also shared this nugget comparing Wii U and 3DS development:

Namco Bandai opened a new teaser site last week. Today, it was updated with a notice confirming that the mystery project is for the 3DS. We don’t have any details yet, but something tells me we’ll be hearing about it through the usual Famitsu leaks tomorrow.


Animal Crossing: New Leaf players have come across a new glitch that allows for item duplication. In order to take advantage of it, two users need to connect with each other online.

NintendoWorldReport provided a handy guide outlining the necessary steps:

  1. Have the first player open up their town to friends over the Internet. This player will be known as the host.
  2. The second player, the visitor, should grab the item(s) they wish to duplicate and then travel to the host town.
  3. Once the visitor arrives in the host town, they should drop all the items they wish to duplicate on the ground.
  4. The host then needs to press start and select End The Multiplayer Session.
  5. Once the session is ending, the visitor needs to physically flick the switch on their 3DS’s Wi-Fi to off at the right time when their game is saving. (Note: The host doesn’t disconnect their Wi-Fi.)

Replicate the glitch at your own risk. Note that it isn’t guaranteed to work, and there’s always a possibility that the glitch could destroy your game.
