The much talked about 3DS firmware update will go live in Europe on November 4. The news comes from a Nintendo press event held earlier today.
As has been previously detailed, the upgrade will feature 3D video recording software, along with enhancements to the eShop and StreetPass Mii Plaza. Nintendo also confirmed that the a new StreetPass title will be included with the firmware.
We should be getting more details about the update on Friday during Nintendo’s live-stream 3DS presentation. I’d expect that the new firmware will go live in Japan and North America on the same day, though that has yet to be confirmed.
There was actually a third 3DS announcement in this week’s Famitsu: Runabout 3D. Climax Entertainment, the original developers of the series, are working on the project.
We have just a few details from the magazine thus far:
– Takes place in an open-world city environment
– Work as a courier for a shadowy organization
– Carry out the “go here” or “do this”-type missions
– Cause as much silly damage as you can along the way
– Unlock new vehicles including buses, bulldozers, motorcycles, Segway-ish thing
– Out in Japan next year
This information comes from series creator Kan Naito…
“The Nintendo 3DS’s screen isn’t that big, but we’re taking major pains to make this game run as nice as possible. It’ll have a nice, light control feel to it, although the actual physics will still be there. We’re having Shigeo Naka of the Surf Coasters handle the music this time, too; he’ll be rearranging movie soundtrack music and other stuff, and it’s turning out really great. Just like before, it’s going to be anything goes with this game!”
A new Pokemon website – pokemongray.com – has been registered by Nintendo indirectly. Melbourne IT Digital Brand Services picked up the domain. This is the same company responsible for creating the official Nintendo of America page pokemonblackwhite.com.
Is Game Freak cooking up a third version of the Pokemon Black/White games? Or is this just a safe domain registration?
