3DS





The Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games Virtual Card Album app will be hitting the European eShop next month. It’ll be free, according to SEGA. Details about the download can be found in the video above.



As you can see, a two week eShop sale has started in Europe and Japan. Nintendo is celebrating the eShop’s one year anniversary with the variety of discounts.

If you live in North America, you might be disappointed with NOA’s handling of the event. The only game on sale is Super Mario Land, which can be purchased for $2.99 (just $1 off if I’m not mistaken…). The offer will be valid between June 22 and June 24.


We have a couple of extra bits on the 3DS XL for you.

I’ll just spit the facts out without any fluff. The North American release will include an AC adapter unlike the Japanese edition. It’s also worth mentioning that the resolution will remain the same as the original 3DS.

The 3DS XL will be hitting Europe on July 28. Blue, red, and silver color variations will be available.


As reconfirmed on the latest Nintendo Direct, Fire Emblem: Awakening will be heading to North America and Europe. The localized version of the game will launch in both territories next year. Downloadable content will be available following release.


Nintendo has detailed the battery life of the 3DS XL, which seems to be a modest improvement.

The system will last 3.5 – 6.5 hours playing 3DS titles. While playing DS games, the battery will continue on for 6 – 10 hours.

These levels will vary based on Wi-Fi and brightness settings. It’ll take 3.5 hours for a complete charge.

To compare, the original 3DS battery is estimated at 3 – 5 hours for 3DS titles. Its expected life for DS titles is 5 – 8 hours.


North American 3DS owners can download a demo for Kingdom Hearts 3D from the eShop right now. It’s free, so you might as well!

The demo takes up 746 blocks on an SD card.
