Nintendo has added the Virtual Console version of The Legend of Zelda to the Japanese eShop for all 3DS owners. This means that those who aren’t part of the Ambassador program can purchase the title for 500 yen.
Additionally, the Ambassador version has received an update. The icon on the home menu has changed and it now supports save states.
This news currently applies to Japan only, but I’m sure Nintendo of America/Europe will follow up on this soon.
Nintendo has updated the Japanese Kid Icarus: Uprising website with a short blurb on a new vehicle in the game. Today, the company introduced the beetle. It’s unclear how it’ll be used in the game at the moment. For now, you can find some screenshots of Pit and the beetle in the image above.
Two 3DS games are included in Best Buy’s “Deal of the Day” sale today. Both Pilotwings Resort and Steel Diver can be purchased on the retailer’s site for $5. You’re saving $35 if you purchase these games at that price.
A couple of nintendogs + cats versions are also on sale for $5, though they’re not available for shipping. You’ll have to use the store pickup option if you order this title.
The Pilotwings Resort page can be found here. The Steel Diver page is here. and the nintendogs + cats page is here.

Renegade Kid’s Jools Watsham has provided updates on a variety of topics.
First, Watsham was asked how many long it’ll take to complete Mutant Mudds:
“First-time players will probably need about 8 hours to complete the game. Once you know what you’re doing, you’re looking at around 3 – 4 hours to complete each of the 40 levels.”
