Nintendo and Capcom have started distributing a new puzzle in the StreetPass Mii Plaza. If you own a Japanese 3DS, you’ll be able to receive a special Monster Hunter 4 panel. Hopefully we’ll eventually see it overseas!
Thanks to Jason for the tip.
A few days ago, Capcom discounted two Mega Man Virtual Console titles on the eShop in North America – well, the US that is. The sale wasn’t valid in Canada for whatever reason(s).
Interestingly though, it seems that both games – Mega Man X on Wii U and Dr. Wily’s Revenge on 3DS – have now been discounted. Each is $2 through the 24th.
No idea why the sale started in Canada a bit later, but all’s well that ends well!
“Vacoze” has put together the neat Zelda piano medley above. It’s quite good, so be sure to check it out!
Time’s almost up to download Wayne Brady’s Mii at Nintendo Zone locations. Actually, today’s the final day! So long as you visit an area with a Nintendo Zone station, Brady will show up in the StreetPass Mii Plaza, gold pants and all.
Thanks to Carlos D for the tip.
