One fan has managed to connect get a PS1 controller working with the 3DS. Having not tried it myself, I can’t say if it’s any better than using the Circle Pad Pro. It’s an interesting idea nonetheless!

GameStop offering Xenoblade Chronicles artbook with pre-order

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments

GameStop is sweetening the deal for consumers who pre-order Xenoblade Chronicles. Those who are willing to dish out a few bucks early will receive an art book when the game releases in April.

It doesn’t look like the offer applies to Nintendo’s online store, so you’ll have to pre-order at GameStop if you want the bonus.

Square Enix preparing second Bravely Default demo for Japan

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

Square Enix is working on a second demo for Bravely Default: Flying Fairy. It will be available sometime soon in Japan.

It isn’t entirely clear what will be included in the download. However, Japanese magazine Jump refers to the demo as “Demo + AR Vol.1 – Crystal Maiden Volume”, so you can probably expect more augmented reality action and gameplay with the 17-year-old Crystal Maiden Anies.
