Bob’s Game appears on Kickstarter
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, DS, News, Wii U eShop | 8 Comments
If you’ve been keeping up with the indie scene over the past few years, then the name “Bob’s Game” should sound familiar. Creator Robert Pelloni hoped to bring the game to the DS as an indie developer, but was ultimately rejected by Nintendo. Pelloni ended up holding a “protest”, took his campaign to Nintendo World, and things ultimately got out of hand before dying down.
Here we are a few years later… and Bob’s Game has returned. Pelloni has created a $10,000 Kickstarter campaign that even includes a Wii U and 3DS stretch goal ($75,000).

Free DLC on Wii/DS won’t be accessible after Wi-Fi Connection shutdown
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 2 Comments
There are a number of Wii and DS games that offer free downloadable content. For instance, players can download a bunch of additional puzzles for Picross 3D and Professor Layton at no extra costs.
If this DLC interests you, you’ll need to grab it before the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection closes on May 20. While paid DLC will still be accessible, free content will be good for good.
A Nintendo representative told NintendoWorldReport:
“The bonus Layton puzzles and such will no longer be available. So you need to get them before the service shuts down. Paid stuff will still be available, though (Wii Shop Channel, etc.).”

A few clarifications on the Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection shutdown
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
Nintendo of America Developer Support staffer Akinwale Lakeru has clarified a few points about the upcoming Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection shutdown.
As was previously known, online multiplayer is one of the bigger elements that will be affected. This pertains to titles produced by Nintendo as well as games from third-parties. Also note that DLC can still be downloaded.
@GoldMetalSonic DLC isn't affected, so you can still download updates if they're available. But all matchmaking will no longer be available.
— Akinwale Lakeru (@Sempuukyaku) March 24, 2014
@GoldMetalSonic That DLC still wouldn't be affected. My Pokemon Ranch uses local connection with the Nintendo DS. So, no issue there.
— Akinwale Lakeru (@Sempuukyaku) March 24, 2014
@GoldMetalSonic ALL Wii and DS games that have matchmaking and online multiplayer will no longer be active.
