Nintendo has updated its maintenance schedule for the following week, and several sessions are planned. Eight different listings have been added in, including My Nintendo – which is something we can’t recall seeing previously and could mean Nintendo is getting ready for the new functionality that will allow Switch owners to use Gold Points.
Here’s the full roundup of maintenance:

Shin Megami Tensei IV Double Hero Pack to be released in Japan on April 19
Posted on 6 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Development is currently underway for Shin Megami Tensei V on Switch, though it’ll likely be some time until its release. Shin Megami Tensei IV, meanwhile, has been out for a while now – in two versions no less, SMT IV and SMT IV: Apocalypse (subtitled “Final” in Japan). If you own a Japanese 3DS and have been meaning to catch up on SMT IV, Atlus has got you covered: on April 19, the Shin Megami Tensei IV Double Hero Pack will be released in Japan, which will contain both the standard game and SMT IV: Final. It will cost 4,980 Yen.
No word yet on whether or not this will be released in the West, though it seems somewhat unlikely.

StreetPass Relay Stations shutting down in Japan on March 28
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
StreetPass Relay Stations will soon be a thing of the past in Japan. Today, Nintendo announced that the service will end on March 28. StreetPass itself will still remain functional, but the stations will not.
When a 3DS owner stops by, StreetPass Relay Stations temporarily store their data for games at places such as Nintendo Zones. Then when another person with a system passes by the same relay point, their StreetPass information can transfer over. It’s essentially a passive way of using the 3DS’ StreetPass feature.

Happy seventh anniversary, 3DS
Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
We can’t end the day without highlighting the 3DS, which is celebrating another anniversary. The portable system originally launched in Japan on February 26, 2011. It would release in other regions about a month later.
Though it’s been around for many years, 3DS has certainly showed staying power. It hasn’t sold quite as well as the DS, but it’s done very well on its own right. The handheld is home to many classics and fantastic games, and we can’t forget about the many revisions it has seen over the many years. We started out with just the 3DS, but Nintendo has also launched the 3DS XL, 2DS, New 3DS, New 3DS XL, and New 2DS XL. It’s been a wild ride.
Here’s to you, 3DS! Thanks for all of the gaming memories.
