Update 2: And now the update is officially available!


Update: Nintendo has removed all mention of this update from its website… so I suppose it’s not available after all! Regardless, it should be out soon.


Nintendo has released a new firmware update for 3DS. Version 10.0.0-27 is out now in all territories.

Despite the change in numbers (from version 9 to 10), it doesn’t seem as though the update adds any major functionality. Of the new firmware, Nintendo simply states: “Further improvements to overall system stability, system security, and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience.”

In order to access the eShop, you’ll need to download today’s update.

When Aksys Games announced the localization of Moco Moco Friends, Amazon listed a tentative November 17 release date for the title. It has now been confirmed that this date is final. That means we’re only a couple of months out from Moco Moco Friends’ release in North America.

Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX finally arrived in North America today. For the official launch trailer, take a look at the video below.

Nintendo just released a new gameplay trailer for Chibi-Robo!: Zip Lash. Check it out below.

Update (9/8): Shovel Knight was raised to $25 on Amazon for a short time, but both versions are back down to $20.


Original (8/29): The retail version of Shovel Knight is seeing a slight price increase. It was originally going for $20, but it’s now being bumped up to $25.

There is at least a very good reason for the change in price. It turns out that the packaged edition will now include a soundtrack.

Amazon seems to be one of the few retailers left with pre-orders at $20. If you’re interested, put in a reservation here.

The latest Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer video shows off the character Molly. We’ve posted it below.

Ubisoft is bringing out the latest game based on The Smurfs to North America next month. As far as I’m aware, this is the same title that released in Europe back in July.

Here’s the full overview:

Chaos has erupted in the Smurfs’ village and Papa Smurf is counting on you to save the day. Upon returning from a walk in the woods, the Smurfs find their home mysteriously destroyed. Players must embark on a journey to help solve the mystery of who damaged their village, and help to rebuild it.

In The Smurfs, players are challenged in a variety of 12 mini-games and must collect resources such as wood, rocks and bricks from iconic locations such as Gargamel’s Laboratory to the deep forest surrounding the village. By sawing logs, nailing planks and piling bricks, players will have the ability to get creative and customize the Smurfs’ houses and village, creating the greatest village ever seen for Papa Smurf, Smurfette and all their friends.

Developed by Magic Pockets, all of the game’s mini-games are tailored for Nintendo 3DS. Taking full advantage of its features, players will play hide-and-seek using the Nintendo 3DS Stylus, pilot a plane through the woodland, organize music contests and create their very own recipes by tilting the Nintendo 3DS to mix ingredients and blow into the microphone to cool their preparations.

The Smurfs will be available for $29.99 on October 13. View some screenshots below.
