Amazon now selling 3DS XL systems directly
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments
Amazon and Nintendo have long maintained a certain “spat”, so to speak. For some unknown reasons, the company’s hardware was never stocked and sold directly. If you were interested in purchasing any of Nintendo’s systems from Amazon, you would need to do so through a third-party seller.
But now it seems there may have been a breakthrough between the two. One eagle-eyed NeoGAF user noticed that 3DS XL systems are being shipped and sold by Amazon.

It doesn’t appear that the situation has been completely remedied, as the Wii U and 2DS still can’t be purchased straight from the retailer. Still, this looks like a good sign!
Bravely Default Twitter: “For those jealous of the European Deluxe Edition, we’ll make it up to you”
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
Thanks to a prior announcement during a recent Nintendo Direct, we knew Nintendo would release a special collector’s edition for Bravely Default in Europe. The package was officially announced today, and the items included inside were revealed.
Following the news, the official Japanese Bravely Default Twitter account posted a brief message: “For those jealous of the European Deluxe Edition, we’ll make it up to you.”
What could that mean? Might a collector’s edition for Bravely Default be coming to North America as well? Or maybe Square Enix is just preparing something unique for Japan…

Toushin Toshin II remake announced for 3DS
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Imageepoch is working on a 3DS remake of Toushin Toshin II, a PC title from the 90’s.
“Toushin Toshi” carries many of the same elements as the original – including the completely not safe for work adult content.
The 3DS game will be released in Japan on January 30. Pricing is set at 6,279 yen. Alicesoft, the original Toushin Toshin II developer, is supervising the remake.
You can find a couple of scans after the break. Just make sure you’re not at work…
