Dragon Quest X for 3DS is an incredibly small game. It only takes up 393 blocks of space, which is rather tiny indeed.

For those wondering why the size is so insignificant, that’s because the actual game is stored online. The 3DS simply acts as a client and accesses Square Enix’s online servers for content.

Good news for those of us outside of the US waiting to get our hands on Shovel Knight, it’s officially been classified in Australia! Hopefully this means other regions will follow soon, I’d imagine Yacht Club Games will have an official press release in the coming days.

As the 3DS release draws closer and closer in Japan, Sakurai has been really doubling (or in this case tripling) down on screens! More Smash Run shots today:

Those red things in the picture are called danger zones, and if you touch one, you’ll get penalized by respawning farther back in the stage!! The danger zones disappear after someone else touches them, so fighters following those in the lead will have an advantage. You can still find speed boosts throughout the stage, so it’ll be a heated battle ’till the end!!

and another:

Here’s another final battle called “Climb!” Obviously, those that can jump or fly higher will have the advantage, but they also have to avoid the danger zones!! It gets pretty challenging if you’ve boosted your speed too much, as well. Everyone really gets into this when playing multiplayer.
