Wii U eShop showcases 3DS games in new section

The Wii U eShop now has a section dedicated to showcasing 3DS games. #CrossPromoting twitter.com/GameplayDev/st…
— Brian Davis (@GameplayDev) May 5, 2013
The Wii U and 3DS eShops technically aren’t connected, but it is possible to look up 3DS titles through the Wii U store. Perhaps in an effort to promote this functionality, the Wii U eShop now has a section showing off 3DS games.
You can look up a variety of 3DS products and information straight through the Wii U eShop. It’s just a shame this feature isn’t extended further.

[Opinion] The frustrating (and oft-ignored) imperfections of Fire Emblem: Awakening (Part 1)
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, Features, Podcast Stories | 0 comments
Author: Austin
The time has probably long since past during which a review of Fire Emblem: Awakening would have been suitable, so instead of going through the paces of telling you what you need to know in order to make an informed decision about whether or not to purchase the game, I’ll start off here with this: It’s probably the best game on 3DS, and even those with a distaste for the franchise’s previous entries will find something to like about it. If you haven’t played the game yet, please do so before reading what I’m about to write, because what I’m about to write will be filled with minor spoilers and negative thoughts about a game that is best played before hearing either of those things!
This is part one of a two or three part series on Awakening in which I’ll be doing my best to intelligently discuss some of the finer points of the game. These are things that everyone I’ve talked to has neglected to mention exist, either out of blind adoration for the title (which is fine– everyone gets that way about some games), or because they simply didn’t notice them.
Hit the break for the actual thing.
Skyward Sword texture pack in the works for Twilight Princess
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Game Night, News, Podcast Stories, Wii | 0 comments
Zelda: Twilight Princess and Skyward Sword possess very different art styles. Whereas Twilight Princess is rather dark and brown to fit the atmosphere, you could say that Skyward Sword is much more colorful.
One passionate fan has come up with an intriguing mix of the two games. GBAtemp member “disbala” is working on a Twilight Princess texture pack (requires Dolphin) that incorporates the style of Skyward Sword.
While not complete, you can already see how noticeably different Twilight Princess looks with Skyward Sword’s style. You can find a few example shots above.
Thanks to Yono for the tip.
Older Pokemon RPGs still selling rather well
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
The Pokemon brand is strong. Very strong. So much so that consumers are still snatching up the older Pokemon games in fairly large quantities.
Over the span of a year, Pokemon Black/White, HeartGold/SoulSilver, and Diamond/Pearl racked up nearly 1 million copies.
Here’s a quick overview:
| Released | Title | March 2012 | March 2013 | Increase |
| 2007 | Pokémon Diamond/Pearl | 17.61 million | 17.63 million | +20,000 |
| 2010 | Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver | 12.40 million | 12.67 million | +270,000 |
| 2011 | Pokémon Black/White | 14.71 million | 15.42 million | +710,000 |
Not bad, right? Something tells me that Pokemon X/Y will also sell for many, many years following its release later this year.
OFLC rates EarthBound
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Well, we’ve known since last month’s Nintendo Direct that EarthBound is heading to the overseas Wii U eShops as a Virtual Console download. Now a rating for the game has popped up on the OFLC. While I’m not too sure that a release is necessarily imminent, maybe we’ll be seeing it sooner rather than later.
