Nintendo has updated the Japanese Kid Icarus: Uprising website with a short blurb on a new vehicle in the game. Today, the company introduced the beetle. It’s unclear how it’ll be used in the game at the moment. For now, you can find some screenshots of Pit and the beetle in the image above.


Two 3DS games are included in Best Buy’s “Deal of the Day” sale today. Both Pilotwings Resort and Steel Diver can be purchased on the retailer’s site for $5. You’re saving $35 if you purchase these games at that price.

A couple of nintendogs + cats versions are also on sale for $5, though they’re not available for shipping. You’ll have to use the store pickup option if you order this title.

The Pilotwings Resort page can be found here. The Steel Diver page is here. and the nintendogs + cats page is here.

Renegade Kid’s Jools Watsham has provided updates on a variety of topics.

First, Watsham was asked how many long it’ll take to complete Mutant Mudds:

“First-time players will probably need about 8 hours to complete the game. Once you know what you’re doing, you’re looking at around 3 – 4 hours to complete each of the 40 levels.”


If you visit the 3DS eShop, you’ll be greeted with a message stating that a new system update is available. This firmware is different than the upgrade that has been offered since early December.

It doesn’t appear to include anything of great importance. Nintendo’s official description of the update is as follows:

“System stability improvements and other adjustments
Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience.”

Note that you must download the new firmware in order to access the eShop. The store will ask you to “Come back after you’ve updated”.


The second video introduces another batch of impressive 1-up tricks, speedruns, secrets, and more. You can find the first video here.
