Well, you can’t get much bigger than the Olympics! Of course, not everyone watching would know that’s a 3DS… but it’s still neat that it made an appearance.
How the New Super Mario Bros. 2 camera works in multiplayer
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
New Super Mario Bros. 2’s multiplayer mode works a little bit different than the Wii release in terms of camera control. Whereas the console game has more room to work with since the action takes place on a television screen, NSMB2 sees players progressing on two relatively small screens.
In local co-op, an arrow is placed over either Mario of Luigi. The arrow indicates which player is “in possession” of the camera. If you’re left without the arrow, you’ll need to follow the other player around.
It is possible to gain control of the camera. Simply power-drop on your fellow friend and you’ll see the arrow hover over your head.

Rare hasn’t announced any 3DS plans, but not ruling out future development
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Microsoft’s ownership of Rare is an interesting case. Because it doesn’t have any portable systems of its own, Microsoft has allowed Rare to make games for Nintendo’s handhelds. That’s how we got Diddy Kong Racing DS and Viva Piñata: Pocket Paradise a few years ago.
That was last generation. Could Rare make a couple of games for the 3DS, too?
In a new “Scribes” update, Rare said the following when asked if the studio plans on making any 3DS titles:
“No 3DS plans have been announced, and I’ve heard nothing along those lines, though of course that’s not an outright denial as there are bound to be all sorts of things going on at a high management level that most of us know nothing about (and, conversely, things we do hear that are apparently not true at all – those personal hovercrafts are taking far longer than expected). So that’s the best you’ll get for now. Thanks for the reminder to nick my son’s 3DS and have a stab at Kid Icarus though.”
So nothing is imminent, and Rare may not have anything in development for the 3DS. But the fact that they’re leaving the door slightly open gives a tiny bit of hope for the future.
