Custom firmware enables region-free 3DS gaming on Japanese New 3DS systems
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in New Nintendo 3DS, News | 24 Comments
Cell9 has come up with new custom firmware for Japanese New 3DS systems that makes region-free gaming possible.
“NTR CFW 2.0” has one purpose: to enable titles from around the world to be playable on the system. Piracy is not possible in any way, and only retail cartridges are acceptable.
The one downside is that you won’t be able to boot up the Japanese eShop. However, you can access a custom menu to take in-game screens and use plug-ins.
Gamers will need a Japanese New 3DS and an import copy of Cubic Ninja in order to use NTR CFW 2.0. Keep in mind that it only works with 3DS firmware versions 8.1.0/9.1.0/9.2.0.
As for what lies ahead in the future, Cell9 hopes to support the original 3DS and other regions at some point.

There is a special perk for using the gold Mario amiibo in Mario Party 10
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 4 Comments
Did you know that the gold Mario amiibo offers a little something special in Mario Party 10? Even though it’s not anything overly major, it’s a neat little nugget.
Reddit user “Fergood” tried out the gold Mario amiibo with Mario Party 10, and saw that there was a “set up” section where players can equip a Token. He then noticed that a “Gold” Token was already unlocked. You can obtain the token by unlocking all other gold Tokens, but Fergood was playing for the first time. He tried reloading Mario Party 10 with normal Mario, and the gold Token unlocked previously was no longer there. That must mean gold Mario can give players a little bonus!
Below are some photos showing how the gold Mario amiibo is used in Mario Party 10:
