Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in New Nintendo 3DS, News | 27 Comments
Just like its predecessors, the New 3DS will be region-locked. Nintendo confirmed to GameSpot that games released across Japan, Europe, and North America will only be playable in those territories. If you purchase a Japanese New 3DS in October, keep in mind that it will only play Japanese games.

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in New Nintendo 3DS, News | 5 Comments
Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate will be playable at the Tokyo Game Show later this month. However, the game won’t be playable on traditional 3DS units.
Capcom has instead announced that the New 3DS will be used for Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate’s demo units at the company’s booth as well as the Monster Hunter Carnival events at Nagoya and Osaka. While multiplayer demo stations will be on the New 3DS, all single-player stations will be on the New 3DS XL systems.
[Just a Chat] New 3DS and other news

Nintendo made a pretty huge announcement on Friday… the New 3DS! Austin and I talk all about it, and there’s a bit of discussion about some of the other news that came in on the same day.
A few more tidbits about the New 3DS
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in New Nintendo 3DS, News | 11 Comments
We’ve been poking around the Japanese New 3DS website and picked up on a few more details about the system.
First, let’s talk briefly about the Internet browser. Users will be able to switch tabs with the ZL and ZR buttons. By using the c-stick, you can zoom in on the page.
Next, camera functions. The New 3D makes use of stable 3D. Because it recognizes the position of the person’s face, the feature doesn’t support some software which utilizes the inner camera. Also, if you have accessories on your head or face – or if there is strong direct light entering the camera – the feature may not work properly.

Get your Japanese New 3DS pre-orders in now
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in New Nintendo 3DS, News | 10 Comments
Update: Bumped to the top. Systems are back in stock… for now.
It’s looking like the New 3DS won’t be heading west for awhile. While the system is heading to Japan on October 11 – less than two months – North America and Europe won’t be seeing it until 2015.
Thankfully, there are ways to purchase the New 3DS even if you’re not in Japan. Playasia has now opened pre-orders at the following links:
New 3DS LL Blue
New 3DS XL Black
New 3DS Black
New 3DS White
Of course, since these are Japanese systems, they will only play Japanese games. But if you’re like me, you might be pretty tempted to pick up a New 3DS at launch…
3DS Homebrew Channel release pushed back
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, New Nintendo 3DS, News | 8 Comments
The wait for the 3DS Homebrew Channel will continue on. Smealum, the project’s coder, has decided to delay its launch due to the upcoming release of New 3DS. He now hopes to enable homebrew on all 3DS systems, and potentially take advantage of New 3DS’ added power as well.
Smealum wrote on Twitter:
“I’ve worked way too long and hard on this to throw it away. This exploit is our best chance to get a look at the new 3DS coming out in one month. Using this as an entrypoint … gives us a fighting chance to defeat whatever new shit might be in there.”
The 3DS Homebrew Channel doesn’t have an estimated release date, though Smealum doesn’t expect the delay to carry into 2015.

Hironobu Sakaguchi asked about a follow-up to The Last Story, has New 3DS interest
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in New Nintendo 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 33 Comments
Final Fantasy creator Hironobu Sakaguchi held a panel at PAX Prime 2014 today. Sakaguchi mentioned that it would be nice to work on a continuation of The Last Story (or Blue Dragon/Lost Odyssey), although nothing is happening behind the scenes currently.
At one point, Sakaguchi was specifically asked if there’s a chance of a new The Last Story. He responded in English: “Ok, yeah, you talk to Nintendo.” The audience cheered and applauded when the panel’s moderator asked who would like to see a sequel on Wii U, and Sakaguchi again added: “And maybe PlayStation 4 too?”
Sakaguchi may not have been too serious throughout all of this. He was laughing, and could have just been teasing the audience.
Other than The Last Story, Sakaguchi was also asked about which systems he plans on working with. One of his comments stated that Nintendo always keeps people on their toes when it comes to new hardware announcements. Additionally, Sakaguchi is looking forward to the New 3DS and hopes to have a chance to work on the platform.
