3DS


With the official eShop release of Ice Climber in Japan, Nintendo has released an update for 3DS Ambassadors. The new version brings download play multiplayer.

I’m sure it’s just a matter of time before the updated version of Ice Climber launches on the North America/European eShops.

Can you collect them all?

5th July 2012 – Nintendo 3DS owners will from today be able to swap and collect a specific collection of virtual cards featuring some of their favourite characters when a free Virtual Card Album launches for Nintendo 3DS today. Some cards for this Virtual Card Album are available in 3D and others will feature brand new artwork, meaning that Nintendo fans will have lots of reasons to try and collect them all.

To kick off your collection simply visit the Nintendo eShop to get the free Card Pack, featuring the Virtual Card Album and 5 virtual cards. The collection will feature well known characters such as Mario and Sonic, to name a few. Further virtual cards will be distributed regularly via SpotPass meaning that you will in no time have plenty of cards in your Virtual Card Album to begin collecting and swapping with friends.







Cave Story 3D came out in North America last year, but it hasn’t been released in Japan yet. Maybe it’s worth the wait.

For the Japanese release, new playable characters have been added in. Falcom’s Dragon Slayer, the lead character from Crazy Climber, and one of the famers from Sunsoft’s Famicom game Ikki are included.

A few screenshots of the characters can be found above.

I think this Nintendo Download sets the record for most games available in a single week. There’s really a lot to be interested here between the Heroes of Ruin demo, Sakura Samurai discount, and and classic games on the eShop and Wii Shop Channel.

This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following featured content:

Nintendo eShop

The Legend of Zelda™ – Celebrate the Nintendo eShop “8-bit Summer” series with this smash-hit adventure, originally released on the NES™ console in 1987. Help Link™ restore the Triforce, rescue the princess and thwart Ganon’s evil plans. (For Nintendo 3DS™)
