I did my best to make the title super difficult to read and rhyme. I think I did an okay job! Anyway, there was some news I was supposed to post or something… Oh, yea:
Bill Trinen, everyone’s favorite translator and Nintendo representative, has revealed today that you can indeed move your Mii’s from your Wii onto the 3DS, but Miis created on the 3DS cannot be moved back to the Wii.
“You can send your Miis from your Wii to your 3DS. But, because the Mii Maker on the Nintendo 3DS is a more robust program and has newer features, like hairstyles and eyes and things like that, the Miis you create there can’t go back to the Wii,” – NOA product marketing manager Bill Trinen
Hey, fine by me! As soon as I get my 3DS, the Wii is not going to be played for at least a month anyway.
The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D takes the Nintendo 64 classic – one of the most critically acclaimed games ever made – and returns it to the Nintendo 3DS system with the added depth and realism of stunning, glassesfree 3D visuals.

What started out as a tech-demo for Nintendo DS is now a new action-packed submarine combat game from Nintendo that immerses players in the 3D action with unique game controls and lush 3D environments. In Steel Diver, the player can choose from three different submarines, each with touch-screen control panels that players will have to master to guide them through treacherous undersea caverns while engaging enemy submarines, dodging depth charges and battling massive sea creatures. Steel Diver also takes advantage of the built-in gyroscope of the Nintendo 3DS system. The combination of 3D game play and one-of-a-kind controls makes for an immersive combination that must be experienced to be believed.

This makes the game more approachable and intuitive, thereby allowing players to focus on the action.
