Renegade Kid’s Jools Watsham has provided updates on a variety of topics.
First, Watsham was asked how many long it’ll take to complete Mutant Mudds:
“First-time players will probably need about 8 hours to complete the game. Once you know what you’re doing, you’re looking at around 3 – 4 hours to complete each of the 40 levels.”

If you visit the 3DS eShop, you’ll be greeted with a message stating that a new system update is available. This firmware is different than the upgrade that has been offered since early December.
It doesn’t appear to include anything of great importance. Nintendo’s official description of the update is as follows:
“System stability improvements and other adjustments
Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience.”
Note that you must download the new firmware in order to access the eShop. The store will ask you to “Come back after you’ve updated”.

Last minute holiday shoppers are scrambling to find the perfect gifts and President Obama is no exception. Obama headed out to his local Best Buy today and picked up a copy of Ubisoft’s Just Dance 3 for his daughters, Malia and Sasha. Obama held up the game to onlookers and said:
“In case you all are wondering, Just Dance for the Wii. The girls beat me every time on these various dance games. And you’ll never get a picture of me [playing] because I get graded F every time.”
