Posted on 10 years ago by Jarop(@gamrah) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Nintendo of Japan launched a campaign last month allowing users that bought a Nintendo 3DS LL from April 26th onwards to redeem a free title from a small selection. Previously only Animal Crossing: New Leaf and Yokai Watch were on that list, but starting June 1 those who are yet to redeem their vouchers will have a few more options:
- Pokemon X or Y
- Puzzles and Dragons Z
- Pokemon Art Academy (from June 19)
We’ve been seeing a few of these promotions pop up in recent months, the most notable one in the West being the free download available with Mario Kart 8 with its launch later this month.

Trophy talk today! Sakurai shows a little bit of Pikmin love:
Here’s one of my personal favorites, the trophy of Brittany from Pikmin 3. She won’t be joining the battle, but her model and expression is well-designed.

Hey everybody, we hope your day is going well/went well/etc! Manfred Linzer from Shin’en has given us another exclusive screenshot from their upcoing Wii U puzzle game Art of Balance, and within it we’re getting a look at the game’s “Challenge Mode” as well as the setting, which– for some reason– is an abandoned house. The real question is who used to live in it before people started playing block games in the attic…?
I guess that’s not for us to say! Here’s Manfred’s description of the screenshot:

Nintendo releasing app in Japan to allow for 3DS tethering
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 8 Comments
Tomorrow, Nintendo plans to release a new smartphone/tablet app in Japan for 3DS tethering. It will essentially allow the portable system to use a phone’s mobile networking.
Nintendo’s app is known as “Easy Tethering for Nintendo 3DS”. This acts as a partnership between DoCoMo and the Big N.
Initially, the app will be compatible with the following devices (with more to come in the future):
Smartphone:
????????????????
??????™??????????

??????™??????????
Tablets

??????™?????????????????
Easy Tethering for Nintendo 3DS is completely free and will allow customers who have never used tethering before to set up the process smoothly.
Those who download and use the software can then take a survey. Doing so will net them a code for an unspecified 3DS Virtual Console title. The survey will be available from early July to September 30th, 2014.
