Shakedown Hawaii got a lot of attention at the Switch Nindies event last week, but what perhaps some people don’t know is that there is a 3DS version of the game as well which has been in the works for a while. The 3DS version wasn’t scrapped in favor of the Switch version – it’s still being worked on by developer Vblank Entertainment. NintendoLife have reached out to them and got an update on the 3DS version.

First of all, the 3DS version is still slated to be released this year. While a bit more vague than the Switch version’s “Q2 2017”, it’s still reassuring. Unlike some recent indie games which have been exclusive to the New Nintendo 3DS, Shakedown Hawaii will work on all 3DS models – and the developers say they are working hard to ensure a steady 60 FPS even on older models. New Nintendo 3DS owners still get some additional benefits though as the C-Stick will be fully compatible with Shakedown Hawaii.

In any case, here’s the full message:

“Hi, everyone! I’m Eiji Aonuma, producer of Nintendo’s Zelda series! The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild out on 3/3 (Fri). The largest ever Zelda adventure awaits you! There are also new Zelda doodle lessons available to purchase in the Lesson Store!”

You can merge your Wii U / 3DS eShop balance with Switch right now on Nintendo’s website

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Switch eShop, Wii U eShop | 10 Comments

A new “Shop Menu” was added to the Nintendo Accounts website today. While we’ve seen the purchase history and “Just For You offers” sections before, they have received a facelift. Also, you can now merge your eShop balance on Wii U and 3DS with Switch – even if you don’t have a system yet.

Visit the Shop Menu page here. You should then see different balances for your Nintendo Account (used for Switch) and Nintendo Network ID (used for Wii U / 3DS). Just click the “Merge Funds” text, and you should be able to combine them in a matter of seconds.

By the way, it is possible to change the region of your Nintendo Account. You’ll have to give up your current balance in order to do so, however.
