Reminder: Less than 24 hours remain! Winner will be announced tomorrow afternoon.
For the past several months, I’ve been thinking about ways to get the word out about our forum. We have some incredibly awesome people posting on there in spite of the fact that it’s not the most populated discussion board. It’s true that I don’t mention it much… that doesn’t exactly help things.
While this new idea may not be the perfect solution, what I have in store could be a fun little event. Basically, Nintendo Everything will be giving away a free copy of Super Mario 3D Land. This contest isn’t sponsored by Nintendo or any other company. That alone should prove how much I care about the forum!
The contest will run for two weeks. It starts today, and wraps up on November 13, just in time for the game’s launch. All that is required of you is to sign up on our forum (a simple and quick process), and have fourteen posts in total by the 13th. That means you only have to contribute one post per day. Is that not easy?!
Also keep in mind that registering for our forum provides you with an account on the main site. So, if you make any comments on the “Nintendo Everything news” section, they’ll appear alongside the corresponding post(s).
Once November 13 has come and gone, I’ll select one member at random who has fourteen posts and is a resident of the U.S. or Canada (I’m truly sorry to anyone who resides outside of these territories). I’m also considering giving out a couple of additional prizes to two other members I select, so you may still have a shot at winning something if you’re not the first name out of the hat.
If anything about this contest is unclear, please write a comment, post on the forum, or send us an email through the contact form. Now start posting!

The 3DS price drop has been followed by an uptick in purchases from the female and children demographic according to Nintendo president Satoru Iwata. This information is based on data collected from Club Nintendo and other sources.
More females have shown great interest in the 3DS due to the Misty Pink release. Club Nintendo stats indicate that over 75% of the color’s consumers were purchased by women. It’s also interesting to note that a majority of 3DS owners purchased Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D with their handheld, but most Misty Pink purchasers picked up nintendogs + cats instead.
Iwata told investors on Friday that many children will receive a 3DS as birthday or Christmas presents. A large number of kids will additionally use New Years money to purchase the system. Nintendo has a positive outlook on the holiday season due to this, as well as other factors.

To no one’s surprise, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata kept quiet when pressed on Wii U questions during a Q&A session with investors on Friday. Iwata wouldn’t discuss the console’s price point, whether or not the company will sell it at a loss, and other information about the system.
Iwata did, however, clarify a statement made earlier regarding mistakes made with the 3DS. You might remember this quote during Nintendo’s financial briefing presentation: “As we learned a bitter lesson with the launch of the Nintendo 3DS, we are trying to take every possible measure so that the Wii U will have a successful launch.”
Iwata explained that Nintendo learned quite a few lessons with the issues the 3DS faced and hope to avoid them for the launch of Wii U. He declined to go into detail because he felt that doing so would be pointless for the most part and his statements would be picked up by the press. Iwata simply said that Nintendo is working on a number of areas that the company believes need to be addressed.

Nintendo president Satoru Iwata shared a few more details about the 3DS’ November system update during a Q&A session with investors on Friday. Iwata provided investors with the following information:
– Iwata clarified that “add-on content” means both add-on content and an item-based billing system
– November update will allow for micro payments to buy items and add-on content directly within a game
– Iwata on Nintendo’s DLC plans: “Nintendo will also likely next year in some form do this [offer add-on content], in a form that would receive support from the customers.”
– Iwata reminded us of the Q&A session from Nintendo’s July earnings briefing, where he’d mentioned as an example add-on stages that were developed with full creative force
– Iwata has been hearing that third-parties are planning on using the new transaction system early next year
– He called this system “the new Nintendo e-Shop framework”
– Nintendo has no plans to offer item-transaction titles like the ones found on social networks
– Iwata on Smartphones/SNS as promotional tools: Nintendo announced the Nintendo Direct presentation two days before its broadcast on Twitter; viewership was on the magnitude of hundreds of thousands

Oh man, it was quite a long road to get this totally edited and done, but it’s completed and uploaded and everything is good. Woofta.
Still a lot of technical things to be worked out with using all of the crazy new nonsense, but I’d say we did okay for a first episode!
