Nintendo has revealed the download size for Kirby Triple Deluxe. The game will take up 8,192 blocks of space on an SD card. That amounts to about 1GB.
Pokemon Bank is allowing for hacked Pokemon, despite what had been originally expected. Long story short, illegal Pokemon – creatures that can’t exist naturally – are finding their way into the app. Now the question is whether Nintendo and Game Freak intend to address this in the future, or if things will stay as is.
A new update is out now for Nintendo TVii. Users can team up with other fans and earn points by predicting plays, which are tied to leaderboards. TVii has also received an updated remote with easier access to features.
