The Official Nintendo Magazine produced the video above showing a number of size comparisons to previous Nintendo hardware. We also get another look at the console in general.
Animal Crossing: New Leaf will likely have downloadable content, just like City Folk (which is still giving out items). Fortunately though, any extra DLC will be free.
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata, speaking during the company’s latest investor’s briefing Q&A, confirmed that the game will have no paid DLC. As Kotaku reports, Iwata feels that “the power of money could not only impact gameplay, but change it, perhaps even making the experience”. Iwata called this “unwholesome”.
Iwata ended up telling investors:
“That sort of element [paid DLC] is absolutely not being added.”

If you haven’t already downloaded Pushmo yet, you should do so right now! That game is fantastic, and Crashmo is looking equally as amazing.
Hurricane Sandy will be tearing up the East Coast in a matter of hours. As it so happens, it should be hitting my area pretty hard.
I’ve generally been lucky with storms in the past, and I can’t recall any major power outages in recent years. Still, this looks like a beast of a storm, and I really have no idea what’ll happen over the next few days.
So here’s the deal – assuming something happens (mainly a power outage… which I have a feeling could last a few days if it occurs), Austin will be taking over both sites. Austin won’t be in the storm’s path at all, so if I go down, he will at least be around to tend to NE/GE.
Anyway, here’s hoping that the storm passes without too much damage…
