Some may be interested to know that the newly-launched 3DS NFC reader/writer accessory runs on two AA batteries. In the actual package, Nintendo has included these so you can begin using the peripheral right away. The 3DS NFC adapter doesn’t require a ton of power, so I imagine you won’t need to swap batteries too often!
Next week, select GameStop locations will be holding a Yoshi’s Woolly World demo event. This will be taking place on October 3 from 1 PM to 4 PM local time. The full listing of participating stores are in the source link below.
LEGO Dimensions will be getting long term support from Warner Bros. Interactive and TT Games. Speaking with Eurogamer, associate producer Mark Warburton stated that there are plans to support the game with new add-ons until at least 2018.
He said:
“We have a three year plan at the moment and we’ve got no intention of stopping there. We’ve created the technology to the degree that we’re happy it meets our needs for the future. We’ve created the toy pad so that it shouldn’t need to be updated. And we can just create new level and character packs to keep expanding that.”
Warburton also commented on a couple of other topics. He spoke about the value of the Starter Pack as well as the Portal tie-in.
“You can 100 per cent the game and get the Platinum trophy just from the base set. People have been playing Lego games for 10 years now, and we shouldn’t be offering anything less than that.”
“You get the game, you get the toy pad, you get 200+ odd level bricks. We think we’re offering a lot of value with that and there’s a lot of gameplay there. There’s also a huge offering [of extra content] if you’re a fan and want to get into that we support that. But if you’re only a fan of particular thing you can only get that.”
“Jon [Burton, TT Games boss] is the biggest Portal fan you could imagine. We knew we wanted a huge cross-section of pop culture and we wanted something huge from the gaming industry too. And Valve are masters of storytelling. We managed to get Stephen Merchant back in to record his lines and JK Simmons fresh from his Oscar win.”
Nintendo recently held a community event in London, and gave three UK StreetPass community leaders 30 minutes to create a Super Mario Maker course to play live on stage. An official wrap up video is below.
