On Monday, Nintendo will carry out “emergency” maintenance for its various online services. The Wii U eShop, 3DS eShop, DSi Shop, and Wii Shop Channel will all be inaccessible. Additionally, the Pokemon Black/White and Pokemon Black/White 2 services will be affected, as will Warriors Orochi 3 Hyper’s online functionality.

Most of the maintenance will start and end on Monday. The full downtime listings can be found below.

Currently, there isn’t a way to transfer save data between a retail 3DS game and a title downloaded from the eShop. In March, however, this issue will be solved.

Speaking in a short Japanese Nintendo Direct published only on the 3DS eShop, company president Satoru Iwata promised that a transfer tool will be released in no more than a couple of months. Nintendo had said last year that it was working on a solution, but did not give an exact date for the tool’s launch.

More games are coming digitally to the Japanese eShop. Pocket Soccer League Calciobit, Culdcept, Fire Emblem: Awakening, Pokémon Rumble Blast and nintendogs + cats will be available next week.


A new Colors! 3D update will likely arrive next month.

The game’s developer posted a message on Facebook stating it will be submitted to Nintendo soon. Once that’s done, the update will see release soon after.

“… the Colors! 3D update is pretty much finished and will be submitted to Nintendo in a few days, so the February estimate seems to be reasonable still.”

The 3DS Virtual Console release of Super C has a special feature. In the VC menu, you’ll come across a “Start Download Play” option that allows you to experience the game with a friend. Note that doing so disables restore points.
