Point cards won’t work with the 3DS
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
This information comes from Nintendo’s 3DS site…
“Prepaid Nintendo point cards cannot be used with the Nintendo 3DS. Prepaid point cards that can be used with the 3DS will go on sale at a later date.”
This is a shame, but at least there will be a better system in place in terms of purchasing content on the 3DS eShop. It is odd though that players will be forced to use cards on the DSi while DSiWare content on 3DS will take advantage of the new cash-based system.

Samurai Warriors: Chronicles taking full advantage of the 3DS’ storage media
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
This information comes from the latest Iwata Asks with Tecmo Koei’s Hisashi Koinuma…
Iwata: Until now, it’s been common sense that handheld games that uses semiconductor memory (ROMs) as the game storage media don’t hold as much as games compared with home consoles.
Koinuma: But this time, Nintendo said we can use even a two-gigabyte ROM. They said that with so much memory capability we could make something comparable to a home console game, so we didn’t hold back!
Iwata: Did you use those two gigabytes to your heart’s content? (laughs)
Koinuma: Yeah. We might have gone overboard. (laughs)
Iwata: You could say that you were able to do as much as you did because you had such a large capacity like a two-gigabyte ROM.
Koinuma: That’s right.

EA cancels Gardens
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Here’s a bit of surprising news. EA has cancelled Gardens, a 3DS game set to be released around the launch of the handheld. Development on the project seemed mostly complete – in fact, the title was rated by the ESRB back in December. EA did not provide a reason for Garden’s mysterious cancellation, though perhaps it’s related to some heavily negative previews the game received.
Nintendo doesn’t care how important you are; you have to wait in line for a 3DS just like everyone else
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
A few weeks back we heard a tale of Super Street Fighter IV 3D producer Yoshinori Ono being unable to secure a 3DS directly from Nintendo before its launch date this March 27th, despite being a very well respected member of the development community.
Now, CEO of Imageepooch Ryoei Mikage is having the same problem. He apparently has had to pre-order the system, which makes it the first pre-order of a gaming device in his life, despite being a confirmed high-profile developer on the system.
Well… at least fair is fair?
