Nintendo shares Summer Gaming List for 3DS
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 4 Comments
To guide 3DS owners’ play this summer, Nintendo has released a Summer Gaming List. It’s meant to be “a video game version of all those summer reading lists you had when you were a kid.” The list “is great for any kind of player, whether you are a more casual gamer looking for something easy to pick up and play, or a serious fan ready for a challenging adventure.” It can also provide fans with knowledge about games for Nintendo systems.
Here’s the full list:
For the Action Buff – Kirby: Planet Robobot
For the Collector – Pokémon Omega Ruby / Pokémon Alpha Sapphire
For the Competitor – Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS
For the Social Butterfly – Animal Crossing: New Leaf
For the Thrill Seeker – Mario Kart 7
For the Disney Fan – Disney Art Academy
For the Adventurer – The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds
For the Nostalgia Lover – New Super Mario Bros. 2
And Nintendo’s explanation of the list:
“The list is simple: Just start with the game that feels best for you and work your way through the rest. You can battle enemies with Kirby while waiting for the burgers to be done in your backyard, paint princesses while playing in the park or unleash a Final Smash while relaxing on the beach. You can even race with Mario and friends during a road trip to your favorite summer location (just watch out for flying Banana Peels!).”

Metroid Prime: Blast Ball – eShop version’s servers going offline in early September
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Towards the end of last week, Metroid Prime: Blast Ball was added to the 3DS eShop for free. It’s basically the entire game that will be included in Federation Force. However, the severs will be going offline at some point. The eShop didn’t specify when, but now we have a better idea. Nintendo’s website mentions: “In early September, the multiplayer servers will switch over to support the full game only.”
So you have until then to play Federation Force online with others. But even after September passes, you can continue to play single-player as well as locally with others.
