LEGO City: Undercover lets players enter 7-digit codes from certain LEGO retail sets. Players unlock the feature later in the game – around the 6th or 7th chapter – where a computer/ATM outside of the police station allows for entry.

Apparently the functionality is causing issues from some players. Reader Antonino Valenza tells us that his game isn’t accepting codes that he’s been entering. Has anyone else been experiencing similar problems?

Update: Also available in North America.

To celebrate the imminent launch of Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, Nintendo has prepared a new 3DS puzzle. Boot up the StreetPass Mii Plaza and visit the Puzzle Swap area for the Dark Moon panel. I’m not quite sure if the puzzle is also available in North America, but if it isn’t, it should be up soon.

Nintendo’s 3DS save data transfer tool, first promised for Japan in January, has an official release date. The app will be ready for release as a free download from the eShop on March 27.

One simple function is included with the tool: the ability to move save data between 3DS retail games and digital copies. It’s a one-way transfer – data can’t be moved from a digital title to a retail release.

Nintendo warns users that the tool is intended to move – not duplicate – save data. Retail saves will be deleted once the process is completed. If a digital game already has data, it’ll be overwritten if the tool is used.

Update: Now that the deal is actually live, we have some clarification. It’s $180 with a $20 gift card. The regular MSRP is $200. Stock is limited online, so you’ll probably need to visit your local store for the deal.

The Pikachu 3DS XL deal at Toys”R”Us is just slightly less sweeter than originally thought. Rather than marking down the system’s price to $150, the retailer will instead by selling it for $170. Toys”R”Us will be providing a $20 gift card with a purchase, which, in one way, technically brings the overall total down to $150. You’ll just be getting $20 in credit instead of cash.

In May 2011, Harmonix announced that Rock Band players had downloaded 100 million songs. Players have obtained another 30 million songs since then. 4,254 songs from 1,657 bands make up the Rock Band library.

Harmonix shared the figures during a PAX East 2013 panel tonight. The studio also gave fans a look at a Rock Band: Led Zeppelin proof-of-concept video as well as images and video for potential Pink Floyd and Pearl Jam releases. For Pink Floyd, Harmonix debuted a Photoshop-made image, though it was nothing more than an internally-created shot.
