In Japan, Nintendo is ending repair support for all colors of the very first DS (model number NTR-001). This is because the company is now having difficulty keeping stock of spare parts.
The final date of them receiving NTR-001 DS for repairs is April 30. However, if spare parts run out before that date, Nintendo may not be able to conduct repairs.
Nintendo still has plans to continue repairs of the other DS systems for the time being. This includes the DS Lite (USG-001), DSi (TWL-001), and DSi LL (UTL-001).
The Google Play store has indicated that Miitomo, Nintendo’s first mobile app, has reached one million downloads on Android devices. It’s currently sitting somewhere between one million and five million, the download’s official page confirms.
Miitomo is doing very well on Google Play’s charts thus far. The web version of the service has it placed at the third spot in “Top Free Android Apps”. Additionally, some devices has it as number one on the “Top New Free” and “Top Trending” charts, and number three for the overall “Top Free” chart.
Bandai Namco has released two new My Hero Academia: Battle for All videos featuring Izuku Midoriya and Katsuki Bakugou. Check them out below.
It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart! Dragon Quest XI drops down a couple of spots again, but Pokemon Sun/Moon is still climbing up quickly.
Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between March 17 and March 23.
Capcom has shared a pair of Japanese Ace Attorney 6 commercials. Both can be seen below.
According to a tweet from Canadian retailer Video Games Plus, Nintendo has ceased production of DS cartridges. The retailer does promise its own set of exclusive restocks for the near future, however.
Video Games Plus sent out the following message a little while ago:
Bad News: Nintendo has discontinued production of DS carts worldwide Good News: VGP has a bunch of EXCLUSIVE DS GAME restocks coming in soon
— VGP Video Games Plus (@VideoGamesPlus_) April 3, 2016
Nintendo has not officially confirmed that it has stopped production of DS carts worldwide. But given the fact that Video Games Plus is a retailer, they could very well have this sort of information as its disposal.
