3DS

The new Smash Bros. games are particularly noteworthy for a couple of reasons. On Wii U, this marks the first time that the series will be shown in HD. And on 3DS, Smash Bros. will be making its debut appearance on a handheld, complete with a unique style thanks to character outlines given to the playable characters.

Director Masahiro Sakurai spoke about the visual design of both versions while speaking with GamesTM this month. Regarding Wii U, Sakurai said fans can expect “more details, and bigger stages”. He also shared an interesting comment about the 3DS version, noting that screenshots “look fine” but don’t do the game justice compared to actually seeing it running in person.

Sakurai told the magazine:

“And the same thing with the Wii U screen – since we’re an HD-compatible console, we’re able to do more details, and bigger stages as seen on previous home consoles. Now of course, I want to point out that everything on 3DS is designed for that screen, and that’s where they look the best. It’s unfortunate we can’t show everyone what it looks like on 3DS, rather than screenshots, while they do look fine, do not do that justice once you see it on the system. Too bad we can’t show everybody what it looks like on the system.”

Amazon began selling the Pokemon 3DS bundles in Japan yesterday. And then it promptly sold out.

According to a tweet from Amazon, the Pokemon Center bundle featuring the golden 3DS XL system sold out just an hour after pre-orders went live. The standard 3DS bundle also sold out within nine hours of its availability.

Mario & Luigi Dream Team has now launched in North America. Accompanying the game’s digital release is an unannounced demo.

Nintendo hadn’t announced any sort of demo for Dream Team, but it’s up right now on the 3DS eShop. The download takes up 1,010 blocks and offers twelve uses.

It’s a bit strange, but certainly not a bad thing!
