French coder Smealum will soon be releasing a Homebrew Channel hack for the 3DS. It’s compatible with the latest 3DS firmware and supports North American, European, and Japanese systems.
Note that the hack will not load commercial or pirated 3DS ROMs. Users will only be able to launch homebrew apps and games.
As far as region unlocking goes, Smealum recently mentioned that “playing games from other region[s] should almost definitely be possible” sometime in the future.
Thanks to JeGeekJePlay for the tip.
Fresh off the heels of the announcement today, Inti Creates have offered the first look at Mighty Gunvolt! The video is embedded below and should automatically start at the footage.
Coming from this week’s Famitsu magazine, The Seven Deadly Sins: Unjust Sins is an action adventure game coming to 3DS at a later date. Based on the popular anime and manga series which will begin airing in Japan in October, there will be plenty of playable and support characters from the series, each with varying playstyles. Included in this list of characters are Meliodas, Hawk, King, Elizabeth, Diane, Ban and Gowther with plenty of stages picked straight from the series like Lyonesse Vicinity, Dalmally Village and Baste Dungeon.
The game is just under halfway through the development process and does not have a release date yet.
