Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Videos | 1 Comment
A new trailer is online to celebrate Genesect’s arrival in Pokemon Omega Ruby, Alpha Sapphire, X, and Y as the latest Pokemon distribution. Watch it below.
The Genesect distribution is slightly different than normal. Rather than sending it out through the Nintendo Network, you’ll instead need to receive a code from your local store. GameStop is giving Genesect out in the United States for example, while GAME is offering it in the UK.

Full footage has come in showing the Miitopia preview that just launched on the Japanese 3DS eShop. Get a look at it below.
Miitopia seems to support amiibo
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
We’ll have a better idea about what Miitopia is after the latest Nintendo Direct airs on Saturday. Even with the Japanese eShop preview, it’s still not entirely clear. It does at least give off the vibes of action and adventure.
Also, with one of the videos included in Miitopia’s preview, it appears that amiibo support will be included. As you can see with the screenshot we’ve taken above, the amiibo logo is featured quite heavily. It’s not an official confirmation, but it wouldn’t make much sense for it to be there if Nintendo didn’t have some plans for its integration.
