Nintendo’s first, original eShop release seems to be a new title called “Pokedex 3D.” I’m not quite sure where this information originated from since Nintendo has yet to make an official announcement. Having said that, this does appear to be the real deal. We’ve posted the first screenshots and details for you below.
– Contains all new Pokemon from Black/White
– Look up information about the Pokemon including their moves all for free
– Over 150 Pokemon
– SpotPass support
– Uses Augmented Reality
– Begin with 16 Pokemon
– Unlock more by scanning QR Codes, SpotPass, or by trading data with friends (most likely through StreetPass)
– SpotPass limit is three random Pokemon per day
– View the Pokemon in 3D
– Rotate them in full 360 degrees
– Pokedex has filters and bookmarking functionality
– Augmented Reality: Display Pokemon in pictures taken through the 3DS camera
Nintendo has released yet another trailer for The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D. It contains over four minutes of glorious sword-swinging and adventuring action that fans will remember from the N64 title. Fortunately, only three weeks remain before this first must-have 3DS titles arrives on store shelves.
The two images above have been going around today as screenshots of a Metroid Project Cafe title, but, no, they aren’t real. Actually, they were actually taken from a Mass Effect 2/Unreal Tournament III mod. Still, it’s a bit fun to take a look at the many, many fake images created right before E3. And something tells me these aren’t the last fan-made screenshots we’ll see before the show…
Yakuza of the End (PS3) – 10/9/9/9
Red Faction: Armageddon (PS3/360) – 9/9/8/8
Fish On (3DS) – 6/6/6/7
Square Enix have started their prepartions for this year’s E3. The company has opened an official site for the trade show today. Although it’s barren at the moment, the site promises daily updates and news. Square Enix’s E3 2011 lineup will most likely be revealed for the end of the week.
This information comes from Q-Games’ Dylan Cuthbert…
“E3 coming up… it’s exciting! Three of our games are at the show! That has to be some kind of record for a small company like Q right?”
Out of those three games, it’d be great if at least one of them is Nintendo-related. Q-Games has collaborated with Nintendo in the past. Most recently, the company released three titles for the DSiWare service.
A Nintendo system wouldn’t be complete without a Ubisoft Petz title, right?! I’m sure you were all looking forward to this title from the moment it was announced. Okay… that’s completely untrue, but for the single person who is interesting in Petz Fantasy, here’s the debut trailer!
