Brand new Pokémon Safari event now live on Pokémon Shuffle
Posted on 9 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in 3DS eShop, News | 3 Comments
We’ve seen an abundance of events since the launch of Pokémon Shuffle that have ranged from legendaries to exclusive Pokémon you can’t get normally, and chances to compete for a Mega Stone. Now, there’s a brand new event unlike the others – the Pokémon Safari.
If you’re familiar with Pokémon, you’ll know that the Safari Zones (or Friend Safari in XY) are places you can go to where you can catch a slew of random Pokémon that are either exclusive to the zones or bundled up with Pokémon you normally wouldn’t see in the same place. This event takes the same concept, surprising you with a brand new Pokémon each time you play it.
Don’t forget to Check In to get the new update so you’re able to access the new Pokémon Safari event! The event will run until May 2nd. See what surprises are headed your way!

[Let’s Talk] The future of 3D Mario games

Let’s Talk #4: The future of 3D Mario games
3D Mario platformers have done quite a bit since Super Mario 64 launched for the N64 back in 1996. We’ve seen Mario leap into paintings, explore a tropical island, and even travel through space. Super Mario 3D World, the series’ latest entry, also allowed for four-player multiplayer for the first time in a 3D Mario game.
So what’s next? Where do new 3D Mario games go from here? That’s the topic for this week’s Let’s Talk!
If I’m being completely honest, I’d want to see Super Mario Galaxy 3 above anything else. I absolutely adored the Galaxy games on Wii, and would be very interested to see what Nintendo could do with the idea on another console.
That’s not to say I’m against other possibilities! Actually, I’d also be open to another game like Super Mario 64. I feel like a lot of people would love to see a sequel to that game, or something that follows a similar sort of path.
The one thing I absolutely don’t want is another game like Super Mario 3D World. I did like Super Mario 3D Land on 3DS (a lot!), and thought World was pretty good. But now I’d like for Nintendo to move on from that overall type of game.
And now it’s your turn! Where do you want to see 3D Mario platformers go from here? Do you have any ideas for new titles? Sound off in the comments section, and be sure to check out some of your highlights from last week’s topic below!
Last week’s topic: Which Wii games do you want to see on New 3DS?
IndigoRift
If Kirby’s Return to Dreamland happened, I might consider purchasing it. Otherwise, if the Wii game isn’t something that’s hard to find, I really don’t care to see any ports. They need to catch up on N64 and GCN first.
mofi
Something that allows for short intensive bursts gameplay wise. I don´t know maybe Galaxy, MadWorld, Muramasa or something like that
Hexodious
If they make a port of Pandora’s Tower and The Last Story, then i’ll buy the New 3DS in a heartbeat.

Project X Zone 2 devs on development, story, improvements, and surprises
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 7 Comments
Update: Fixed first names for Morizumi and Ishitani.
Bandai Namco officially unveiled Project X Zone 2 last week. After the announcement, Famitsu caught up with a few of the game’s developers for an interview. The magazine spoke with Kensuke Tsukanaka (producer, Bandai Namco), Souichiro Morizumi (Monolith Soft, development director), and Koji Ishitani (development producer, Monolith Soft).
Famitsu starts by asking when development on Project X Zone 2 kicked off. According to Morizumi, the team was “considering the project and playing new entries of featured games” after Project X Zone’s Japanese launch. Work truly began after the team received feedback from the western release in 2013.
Tsukanaka also said, “The release had very good reputation in North America and Europe. So given the situation both domestically and overseas, we started to create the sequel.”

Update: Or not? – Loading fake Twilight Princess 3D eShop listing from hacked StreetPass hit causes online ban
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Update: It’s now coming into question whether banned users are being blocked due to using flashcards. I can’t confirm it either way at the moment, but you should definitely be cautious in any case. This entire situation is one big mess!
Earlier today, rumors surfaced about The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess possibly coming to the 3DS. That speculation came about after images surfaced which showed people meeting someone in the StreetPass Mii Plaza who had supposedly been playing the “remake” – see below.
We didn’t post about the rumor as we had a pretty strong feeling that it was fake. Sure enough, it was. One 3DS owner managed to hack his system, which allows for any image/text he wants to appear as his recently-played game.
This wouldn’t be a problem for other 3DS users in most circumstances. However, many folks encountered the person with the hacked system at the Zelda Symphony Concert in Germany today. A ton of people attended the event, and many fans brought along their 3DS units in hopes of receiving some StreetPass hits. Unfortunately, you may have a fairly big problem on your hands if you happened to have conducted StreetPass with the hacked system.
We’re hearing reports that every user who received that person’s Mii and attempts to load the Twilight Princess 3D eShop page (which doesn’t exist of course) is being blocked from online services. This could affect quite a number of European 3DS owners who attended the Zelda concert earlier in the day. I’d imagine affected users would need to contact Nintendo in hopes of being unbanned. If you did come in contact with the Mii, be sure to delete it from the StreetPass Mii Plaza!
Thanks to Robin for the tip.
