Are your bodies ready for even more Nintendo Direct goodness? Hopefully, as it’s been confirmed that the promised Animal Crossing: Jump Out presentation will be broadcast on Friday.

The presentation should be viewable here at 7:00 AM ET / 4:00 AM PT.

We’ll be sure to post the archived version on the site!



Old 3DS retail games, including Super Mario 3D Land and Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, will be making their way to the Japanese eShop.

A new Japanese Nintendo Direct reveals that a total of eight titles will be placed on the store. Mario Tennis Open, Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games, Mario Kart 7, Super Mario 3D Land, The 3D Encyclopedia of Flora an Fauna, Star Fox 64 3D, The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, and PilotWings Resort arrive on the store on November 1.

All of the titles will cost 4,800 yen – with the exception of Encyclopedia of Flora an Fauna, which is priced at 3,800 yen.

Most of these games should be released on the North American and European eShops as well, but nothing has been confirmed.



The image you see above comes from one of Nintendo of Europe’s press sites. Three boxarts for Game Boy Advance titles were added in today, sparking speculation that the 3DS Virtual Console could be adding the GBA platform to its library.

This could very well be nothing more than a random update on NoE’s part. On the other hand, there is a Nintendo Direct coming up in a few days…

Since early 2009, Nintendo has been running a program in Japan that rewards users who help other owners connect online. Basically, the company was dishing out Wii points based on the amount of users you assisted.

This will be coming to a close next month. Nintendo announced that the program will end on November 30 at 5 PM JST.
