A couple of weeks ago, Nintendo made a few announcements about 3DS. This included two additions to the Nintendo Selects line: Kirby Triple Deluxe and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team.

Nintendo never actually gave a concrete date for the new Nintendo Selects, only opting for a vague “mid-February” timeframe. That being said, retailers are now selling both games. Best Buy and GameStop may have had them as early as last week, but we can confirm that Amazon only began selling them directly today.

The Nintendo Selects versions of Kirby Triple Deluxe and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team can be found at the links below:

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 4 Comments

The fourth Pokemon Global Mission for Pokemon Sun/Moon has been announced. When it begins on February 28, players will be asked to earn Battle Points from the Battle Tree.

Also, as previously mentioned, the third Pokemon Global Mission ended successfully. The final count for trades made at the Pokemon Global Trade Station came in at over 4.1 million, meaning 2,000 FC, or 4,000 FC if the game is connected to the Global Link, will be handed out. The Friend Ball and Rare Candy event distribution is planned for later this month and will be given through Serial Code on the Global Link.

Fire Emblem producer Hitoshi Yamagami showed up in a video to announce today’s news:

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 225 Comments

According to the Nintendo UK page for Fire Emblem Echoes: Shadows of Valentia, the game will only contain English voiceover. That means dual audio won’t be included. It was a similar situation with Fire Emblem Fates, so perhaps this news wasn’t entirely unexpected.
