3DS

Following a few hours of downtime, Nintendo fans can once again access the 3DS eShop, Wii Shop Channel, and DSi Shop. There don’t appear to be any significant changes in any of the shops, so this was most likely routine maintenance. You have to wonder why it took so long for the services to return, though…


The Wii Shop Channel, DSi shop, and 3DS eShop are all closed for maintenance at the moment. We don’t know if there’s any significant reason behind the downtime. It’s possible that they’re just going through general maintenance. The shops will supposedly return at 8 PM EDT.


Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns comes out next month… for the DS. As far as the 3DS version goes, Natsume has said that it can be expected later this year.

Wondering why the two versions won’t be launching simultaneously? You can blame the sales of the 3DS for the delay. A representative confirmed that the company pushed back Harvest Moon for 3DS as well as their other title for the handheld, Gabrielle’s Ghostly Groove, due to poor early sales of the system.

In other news about the Harvest Moon title, you might be interested to hear that The Tale of Two Towns is for North America only. In other words, it won’t be launching in Japan.

Konami has said that Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D will be out in Japan this winter. But does that mean Winter 2011 or Winter 2012? The latter would mean that the title would arrive early next year.

There’s no word yet on when Snake Eater 3D will hit North America/European store sheves.
