In case you haven’t heard, Mutant Mudds is officially heading to the PC. There’s a “Grannie Edition” in the works that offers 20 original levels not found in the eShop release.

The question is, will this content be made available to 3DS owners?

Says Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham:

“Many are asking if the 20 new levels in the special ‘Grannie Edition’ of Mudds coming to PC will make their way to the eShop. It’s possible.”

Nintendo of Europe has released an official video showing the transfer process between a 3DS and 3DS XL. You can take a look at it below.



So normally when we see patents from Nintendo, they have to do with bicycles to ride while playing Wii or footballs you can pretend to throw while pretending to be Brett Favre playing pretend quarterback in a pretend football game. This time, however, some (relatively) neat and potentially useful features for the 3DS have been patented.

1) System Updates via Download Play

The first patent filed would allow you to download system updates from another 3DS that has more contemporary firmware than you simply by checking a box before playing a game via download play. This is especially useful for kids who can’t access the internet on their device, or others who perhaps don’t have or have trouble connecting to the internet on the 3DS.

2) Hidden Storage of Download-Play Titles

Patent number 2 relates to download play as well, but this time it’s regarding the games. The idea is that, when you’re done playing a game via Download Play with someone, the data is actually continually stored on your 3DS in the background so that next time you want to play, you need not re-download the whole thing. Of course, I doubt you’ll be able to access the game short of actually playing with someone who owns it, but some games have terribly long download times (cough Plants vs. Zombies), so this will definitely come in handy if it’s ever implemented.

No word on whether these will ever happen or even if they’re actually in the works, but here’s to hoping!
