This has been a pretty darn good week for 3DS owners! Sakura Samurai will be made available in the near future, the 3DS firmware update is coming soon, and Metroid II: Return of Samus launches this week. Metroid has already been confirmed for Europe this week, so it’s nice to know that North American gamers will be able to download it as well.

A new game is headed to the Nintendo 3DS™ system, and it won’t be available in stores. Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword™ lets players travel to ancient Japan and guide a young warrior as he battles waves of enemy soldiers to save a princess. He must identify the enemy’s attack move, dodge it by a hair and counter-attack with his own mystical Sakura Sword to win the battle. The game launches in January.

Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword is just one of many high-quality, Nintendo-published downloadable games that can be found in the Nintendo eShop.

Konami has yet to confirm when Snake Eater 3D will launch overseas.


The first console Zelda in five years has finally arrived in store shelves. How many of you managed to pick the game up?

Nintendo has said previously that a new 3DS system update is due out before the end of the month. They’re running out of time, as only nine days remain in November.

It seems that 3DS owners will need to wait until the very end of the month. A new European commercial, which focuses on the upcoming video recording features, apparently states that the functionality will be available “from 30th November.” Talk about waiting for the last possible moment!

The new update will add video recording additions to the 3DS Camera application, software transfers between two 3DS systems, and includes new content for the StreetPass Mii Plaza.
