A few days ago, we heard from The Game Awards 2016 host Geoff Keighley that a special sale was planned for the event. Unfortunately though, there’s nothing new.

Nintendo’s website now shows The Game Awards “sale”. However, as you’ll quickly notice, it’s just piggybacking off of the new Cyber Deals that began last month. A bit disappointing to say the least!

Get Arceus in Pokemon X, Y, Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire with a new code

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment

Arceus was distributed in Pokemon X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire a few months ago. However, players needed to visit certain retailers – such as GameStop in the United States – in order to obtain a code. Now the distribution is running again, and you won’t need to head to your local store this time around.

If you’re in North America, enter the code “Arceus20”. Those in PAL regions can use the code “Arceus2016”.

Note that if you’ve already received Arceus, you won’t be able to download the Pokemon for a second time.

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 1 Comment

Tank Troopers, a new digital title for 3DS, was announced during the September Nintendo Direct. We now have word that Nintendo will publish the game in Japan on December 21. Retailer Rakuten lists the date, along with an 800 yen price point.

According to Nintendo, Tank Troopers “lets players customize their tank through special characteristics of tank-pilot Troopers, enabling abilities such as hitting enemies with a freeze attack, launching paint balls to block the opponents’ views or using electric shocks to stall rival tanks where they stand.” A six-person multiplayer mode is included plus Download Play.

A specific western release date for Tank Troopers has not yet been announced, but it wouldn’t be surprising to see it in North America and Europe this month as well.
