Rumor: Digital e-reader service coming to Wii U, 3DS
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors, Wii U | 0 comments
Forget The Box is claiming that a digital e-reader service will be released for Wii U. The site’s source supposedly comes from a software developer approached by Nintendo .
Basically, the application would allow users to download books, magazines, newspapers, comics, and other content. This would include every issue of Nintendo Power, instruction books, and maybe even players guides.
All of this digital content will be accessed through the Wii U’s controller. Each download would include a searchable index and users will be able to flip through the pages on the controller’s touch screen.
Consumers who are subscribed to a particular magazine will receive the latest issue automatically. This can be accomplished even if the console has been turned off.
Apparently, the e-reader service won’t be released only for Wii U. Nintendo has plans to bring it to 3DS as well as they look to share services between the two systems much like the iPhone and iPad.
It’d be best to exercise some caution with this rumor for now. That being said, I personally wouldn’t object to a service like this!

Myst 3D debut trailer

Okay, I’m a little bit confused here. Am I going crazy, or is most of the action taking place on the touch screen? If this is the case, then I don’t really see a need for this game – it’ll end up being very similar to the DS version!
Pinball Pulse: The Ancient Beckons up on the eShop, can be transferred
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News | 0 comments
Pinball Pulse: The Ancient Beckons was one of the few DSiWare titles that couldn’t be transferred to the 3DS. That’s now possible, and the game itself can be downloaded from the eShop. There’s no explanation as to why Pinball Pulse has suddenly appeared on the store, but hey, we’ll take any good news we can get.
Nintendo’s World Hobby Fair ’12 Winter lineup

Like Nintendo’s Jump Festa 2012 lineup, the company is only bringing a couple of titles to the World Hobby Fair ’12 Winter show. Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land will both be playable. I wonder why they’re leaving Skyward Sword out…
