REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Mario Kart fans are getting a limited-edition bundle to help keep their engines revving through the holidays. On Dec. 2, Nintendo is offering a Blue/Black Nintendo 3DS XL with Mario Kart 7 pre-installed on the system for a suggested retail price of $199.99. If purchased separately, the system and the game would be offered at suggested retail prices of $199.99 and $39.99 respectively, making this another great Nintendo value for holiday shoppers.

Until January 31st next year, Club Nintendo Europe is giving out a free downloadable copy of New Style Boutique whenever you register a European version of the Nintendo 3DS XL. I mean you could claim a copy of Super Mario 3D Land, New Art Academy, Freakyforms Deluxe or Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask instead, but I’m not sure why you’d want to.
At the moment the promotion is only valid for residents of the UK, Ireland, France, Germany, Russia, Spain, Italy, Belgium, Portugal and the Netherlands. You’ll also need to redeem your download code before January 31st.

PC browser Touch Detective game heading to 3DS
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Anyone remember the Touch Detective games? BeeWorks made a couple of them early on in the DS’ lifecycle, and then the IP vanished.
After a five year hiatus on handhelds, the series has returned – this time on the 3DS.
Just like the previous Touch Detective games, Success Corporation is publishing (and possibly making) “Osawari Tantei Nameko Daihanjou” in Japan. The title launches in February for 3,990 yen.
Osawari Tantei Nameko Daihanjou was originally a PC browser game. Thanks to Famitsu, we know that it will feature new aspects. Local and online play are included.
