An eight-year-old boy received a new 3DS earlier this week for Christmas, but pornographic images were detected on the unit through the camera application. Ultimately, a dozen pictures were found.
Tom Mayhew purchased the 3DS for his son from Walmart, thinking it was new. However, Mayhew speculates that the system may have already been purchased, later returned, with the unwanted images left untouched.

At 4 PM ET, Nintendo took down both eShops once again for a 12-hour maintenance period. The company hopes to make significant progress with regard to the online issues plaguing its network services over the past few days.
In light of fans questioning why the eShops will be going offline once again, Nintendo took to Twitter to further explain the situation. The Big N said that this will allow for traffic volume to be properly managed, paving the way for full operation restoration.

We saw some questions about why we're taking the Nintendo eShop offline between 4 p.m. and 4 a.m. ET and how it will help.

Meanwhile, indie developer Two Tribes has weighed in on the situation as well. The studio, after receiving a notice from Nintendo, claimed that the overall online downtime “might take a while longer”.

Image & Form has previously discussed bringing SteamWorld Dig to Wii U, but the studio seems more intent on pursuing the possibility, based on new comments made to ONM.
Co-founder Brjann Sigurgeirsson told the publication that the team is “definitely” looking into making SteamWorld a reality on Nintendo’s home platform. Sigurgeirsson also said that “Wii U would work very well for the SteamWorld series”.
Sigurgeirsson’s comments in full:
“The Wii U would work very well for the SteamWorld series, so it’s definitely one of the things that we’re looking into – we’re fortunate that we left mobile at the right time and got embraced by Nintendo when it happened.”
