3DS

Two Nintendo Directs in the same month?! Indeed, it’s happening, in Japan at least!

Unlike the last, “special” broadcast, the latest event will focus only on 3DS and Wii information. Sorry, no Wii U updates for you!

A live-stream will be available at 11:00 PM EDT / 8:00 PM PDT tomorrow. We’ll post a live-stream on the site once its ready to go.

You can follow the Japanese Nintendo Direct page here.


Thanks to 4Him for the tip.

Disney’s “Wreck-It Ralph” video game tie-in could be exclusive to Nintendo platforms.

GameFly is only listing versions for the Wii, 3DS, and DS. Activision is included as the publisher, though that tidbit is questionable. A release could be planned for October 30.

Wreck-It Ralph is an animated film featuring Ralph, a villain from the arcade game “Fix-It Felix Jr”. After determining that he’d like to turn over a new leaf, Ralph begins a journey to ditch his malevolent ways and ventures into new worlds.

The movie’s debut trailer showed a number of classic video game characters such as Dr. Robotnik and Bowser. Assuming GameFly’s listing is correct, Bowser’s inclusion could one of the contributing factors behind the Nintendo exclusivity.

It’s possible that the retailer is simply incorrect. Wreck-It Ralph is just a few months away, so we should receive information about the actual video game soon.

Simply head on over to the store, visit the Donkey Kong Jr. shelf, and touch the “To Update Screen” option. The download should then be ready to go.
