Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 15 Comments
Nintendo has issued its latest release schedule for both Wii U and 3DS (as well as products that shipped in the last fiscal year).
I can’t say there are any massive surprises, but we do seem to have confirmation that Yarn Yoshi and Shin Megami Tensei X Fire Emblem are still in development. Also, Hyrule Warriors is classified as first-party in North America and Europe, but third-party in Japan. Lastly, “X” is due out worldwide – North America, Europe, and Japan – this year.

Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire will have limited 3D usage
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 7 Comments
If you’ve seen the teaser trailer for Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, you may have noticed a small notice tucked away in the bottom left corner towards the video’s end. It states, “Game in 2D. Some areas also playable in 3D.”
You may remember that Pokemon X and Pokemon Y featured some stereoscopic 3D, though some areas such as the overworld did not. It sounds like we have a similar case here with Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire.
