UK gamers were given the opportunity to play the 3DS in Bristol over the past couple of days, and the hologram demonstration above was available for all to see. Short and sweet video, but very cool nonetheless!

Not even the Wii™ Shop Channel and Nintendo DSi™ Shop are immune to the spellbinding forces of Valentine’s Day. You’ll find unlikely hints of romance creeping into the WiiWare™ service with Pucca’s kisses game, featuring a sweet heroine who’s smitten with a wily ninja. Love is also in the air on the Nintendo DSiWare™ service as the hero of Treasure Hunter X pursues precious artifacts in hopes of winning a woman’s heart. Wii owners with a fear of commitment will be pleased to find a pair of dreamy diversions among this week’s downloadable offerings: Demo versions of chick chick BOOM and Chronos Twins DX are now available for zero Wii Points™.

Nintendo UK’s Head of Marketing James Honeywell on the possibility of Pikmin 3DS/Smash Bros. 3DS…

“In theory both are just as possible or likely – however neither title has been formally announced as being in development.”

Honeywell on how AR will be incorporated into games…

“From launch, you’ll be able to play with the built in software using the AR cards that come with 3DS. We haven’t announced any further details about how AR could potentially be used in games but certainly the potential and ability for developers to realize ideas like this are very real and very possible. There are no immediate plans to sell AR cards as separate items.”
