Those in Japan can now pre-load Super Mario Maker for 3DS from the eShop. To do so, at least 2,909 blocks (363.625 MB) of free space is required on an SD card. The size may vary slightly in other regions, but probably by very little if at all.

At the moment, Super Mario Maker for 3DS isn’t up for pre-load in North America. We’ll let you know when that changes, and it should be soon.

We’ve attached the latest Super Mario Maker for 3DS screenshots below.

[Review] Pokémon Sun/Moon

Posted on 8 years ago by Philip(@P_Trah) in 3DS, Reviews | 3 Comments

System: 3DS
Release date: November 18, 2016
Developer: Game Freak
Publisher Nintendo

There is no denying that the Pokémon franchise is somewhat of a rarity in the gaming industry. To have a series so well-beloved by new and old fans alike for twenty years, it wouldn’t be too far-fetched to assume that something like Pokémon would have petered out long ago. It’s still going strong even after such a long time has passed. However, along with two decades worth of games comes a desire to innovate and to avoid the underlying possibility of stagnation and repetition. Now, with Pokémon Sun and Pokémon Moon on the horizon and the promise of a fresh take on its tried-and-true formula, the seventh generation surpasses all expectations and delivers not only one of the finest entries in the franchise to date, but one of the best role playing games of the year.
