Nintendo 3DS Conference 2011 site open
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
You know that Nintendo’s upcoming conference must be big if they’ve opened an official site for the event. From what I can gather, the company will be live-streaming the full event through UStream.
This also confirms that, contrary to what we’ve heard before, the conference will be fully dedicated to the 3DS. This probably means that there won’t be a new trailer for Zelda: Skyward Sword.
Nintendo 3DS Conference 2011 will take place on September 13 (September 12 in North America) at 12 PM. You can be sure that we’ll be providing live updates throughout the event.
How to break your free 3DS copy of Metroid

Want to break your Ambassador copy of Metroid on the 3DS? Then you can enter the password found in the video above. Be warned: there’s a word in there that isn’t suitable for children…
There’s something interesting about the password that I actually wasn’t aware of. The NES version will turn into a blurry mess once it’s recognized. Supposedly the game found in Metroid Prime and Zero Mission will simply reset if the player enters the code.
As you can see in the video above, the 3DS version yields a completely different reaction.

New Spirit Photo details (Nintendo publishing)

– Game is a co-production involving both Nintendo and Keisuke Kikuchi’s studio at Tecmo
– AR notebook will have hidden messages, clues to your past, demos
– Published by Nintendo
This information comes from Keisuke Kikuchi, producer and chief mind behind the Fatal Frame series…
“I wasn’t all that interested in AR to start with, but as I explored the possibilities, I really started to get into it. I thought we could really do something with it if we combined our traditional strengths in horror and adventure with the AR technology. It was a big challenge, but we went through with it, and the result is this style of horror that does away with the boundaries between the natural and the supernatural.”
“One big theme during development was how to incorporate AR into an adventure game. I think we succeeded in achieving that, because the story uses AR consistently right up to the ending. Compared to previous Fatal Frame titles, though, there isn’t as much actual time spent with the game itself — that’s because you’ll also be spending time turning pages on the AR notebook and looking around in real life instead of moving your character around within the game.”
Uh oh… Does Nintendo publishing mean that we won’t see this title in the states? It’s not a typical Fatal Frame game – it’s been confirmed to be a spinoff – but I’m sure most of you remember the fiasco surrounding the fourth entry in the franchise…
