Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments

Not sure why Nintendo didn’t include any 3DS news with this update. I guess it’s because the games were already announced last week!

Sometimes ordinary actions can lead you to extraordinary places. Case in point: this week’s lineup of new downloadable games for the Wii™ and Nintendo DSi™ systems. In GO Series Picdun, a dungeon-themed RPG for the Nintendo DSiWare™ service, the simple act of walking can help you to solve scores of rich hidden-picture puzzles. In Dreamwalker, your goal is just to get a good night’s sleep by overcoming a flurry of disruptive challenges. Browse hundreds of games available for instant download via the WiiWare™ and Nintendo DSiWare services and discover just how easy it is to go from zero to maximum gaming fun.

Be warned: 3DS update can cause Ridge Racer 3D to freeze

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

The first major 3DS update will be live in about 24 hours from now. However, you should be aware of the fact that the update can cause Ridge Racer 3D to freeze.

The bug may pop up before starting a Single Play or Grand Prix race. But it can be avoided if you simply abstain from pressing the “B” button on the Machine Select and Race Select screens.

Another firmware update will be offered in mid-June to patch the issue.
