Whether this is related to the upcoming 3DS update or not, I’m not 100% certain, but it’s certain that as of right now the eShop is undergoing some form of maintainance, giving the standard “please try again later” message. It’s worth noting that Nintendo said the service would be temporarily halting around the time of the update to have it ready for all the new features, and the update is scheduled to hit “by December 8th”, so if this isn’t related I’d be pretty surprised.

The question is: Does this mean we may see the update his a day early? Or maybe even a few hours early?

The first review of Resident Evil: Revelations can be found inside the latest GamesMaster. The magazine handed out a 91% score even though the game isn’t due out for another two months.

Here are a few choice quotes from the review:

– “the game to convince Resi fans that the series is back to its best”
– “one of the scariest games ever committed to handheld, and a spectacular return to form.”
– “a corking setting for Revelations, with a choking atmosphere trapped inside its creaking hull.”

GamesMaster also praised Revelations’ environments, storyline, and overall scares.
