This card won’t award you with anything extra that the already-available cards offer, but it’s a nice little memento for Zelda’s 25th anniversary.

Nintendo not commenting on rumored 3DS redesign
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Unsurprisingly, Nintendo has issued their standard “we do not comment on rumour and speculation” line regarding the rumored 3DS redesign. I wouldn’t expect any sort of confirmation now, and even if it were true, I don’t think we’d hear anything about it until next year. I’m sure Nintendo wants the 3DS to be a focus this holidays as it is now along with their lineup of upcoming games.
Nintendo Conference confirmed for September 13
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
A new article on The Wall Street Journal (registration required) seems to confirm that Nintendo’s rumored September event will indeed take place on the 13th. The site says that it’ll be called the Nintendo Conference, a trade show that is “open to industry people, analysts, investors and journalists, but not to consumers.” So we can expect the same deal as last year’s event.
We’ve already heard that a big announcement is planned, but perhaps it won’t necessarily be on the 3DS as this is called the “Nintendo Conference”. But I have to admit that the 3DS is probably the safest bet for a huge reveal.

Rumor: Nintendo planning 3DS event for September 13
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors | 0 comments
Could Nintendo be planning a fall-like conference for the 3DS? Well, we aren’t entirely sure that it’s a conference, though investors are under the impression that an important event will be held on September 13.
This rumored event has actually caused a boost in Nintendo stock today, which, at one point, rose to 9.7% above yesterday’s level.
Nintendo held a “Fall Conference” in late September of last year. While the 3DS was a huge focus, the company also took time to talk briefly about Wii – and confirmed Wii Remote Plus. New games were also announced after the show ended.

3DS rumors: Nintendo preparing right circle pad attachment, new model next year
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors | 0 comments
01Net has published a couple of new rumors about the 3DS. As we saw with Wii U, they have been spot on with some of their speculation, but inaccurate in some instances. With that said, don’t put too much stock into these rumors just yet.
The first rumor 01Net has shared is that the Nintendo is preparing a 3DS attachment that would act as a right analog stick. Shigeru Miyamoto has previously said that the company intentionally left out the additional circle pad because they felt that players use their fingers to play, and that would essentially replicate the same experience.
Here’s the relevant excerpt from the 01Net article:
