Rumor: NX has a split d-pad, share button
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors | 74 Comments
A few days ago, Let’s Play Video Games put up a report claiming that NX will make use of advanced vibration technology and motion sensing in new controllers intended to replace the Wii Remote. The site has now followed with additional unconfirmed information regarding the current version of development hardware.
Let’s Play Video Games writes that developers have access to a split d-pad as well as some sort of share button, similar to that of the PlayStation 4. The button features a small icon of a camera and will let users upload still images and video on Miiverse, Twitter, Facebook or YouTube. Images or video can also be saved to external memory devices, which then can be ultimately moved to PC.
Let’s Play Video Games offers up the following mockup:
Just like last week’s report, these latest rumors are unconfirmed. It’ll stay that way until Nintendo has something official to say about its new system.

A-Train 3D Neo heading to 3DS
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Artdink published A-Train 3D back in 2014 in Japan. Last year, Natsume localized the game for North America and Europe. Now Artink is developing a new version.
A-Train 3D Neo (or perhaps we should call it A-Train 3D: City Simulator Neo) is coming to Japan on December 1. Other than the regular package at 4,860 yen, there will be also a “Beginner’s Pack” that comes with an official guidebook priced at 5,378 yen.
A-Train 3D Neo improves upon features from the vanilla version. Additionally, the eight extra scenarios that were offered as paid DLC will be included here. Compatibility with data from the vanilla version is planned as well.
