A new feature was announced for the upcoming 3DS version of Dragon Quest VIII today – Camera Mode, which allows you to take a picture of the top screen, which is then saved to your 3DS’ SD card. However, this feature is not just for taking screenshots – you can get special requests from NPCs who ask you to take pictures of rare monsters and hidden items and who will reward you for doing so. When taking pictures of your party members, you can also have them take special poses.

Nintendo will have the following games on display:
Yoshi’s Woolly World (Wii U)
Rhythm Heaven: The Best + (3DS)
Style Savvy 3 (3DS)
Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition (3DS)
12 Sai ~Honto no Kimochi (3DS)

Along with playable games, Nintendo will be selling various items. There will also be a demonstration for Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, and those who play the game can receive special novelty presents.
The Nintendo Girls Game Museum event is taking place between July 18 and July 20 at the Aeon Mall Makuhari Shin Toshin at Chiba city of Chiba Prefecture. A second event will be held at the Grand Tree Musashikosugi mall located in Kawasaki City of Kanagawa Prefecture on August 1 and 2.

First Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer shipment to consist of 500,000 units in Japan
Posted on 9 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 4 Comments
Seems like Nintendo is fairly confident that the Animal Crossing spin-off Happy Home Designer will do well in Japan. The company announced today that the first shipment of the game will consist of 500,000 units. This includes both the regular version of the game as well as the one that will be bundled with the NFC reader. Both versions will come with one amiibo card.
Recently, both Splatoon and Fire Emblem Fates were basically sold out in Japan in their first couple of weeks on the market. It’ll be interesting to see how well Happy Home Designer does and if Nintendo calculated the demand appropriately this time.
Denpa Men card game coming to Japan
Posted on 9 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Bandai is releasing a Denpa Men card game in Japan. Starting from August 8th, booster packs containing six cards each will be available in stores. However, it’s not just a simple card game – each card contains a code that can be redeemed in the 3DS game Denpa Ningen no RPG Free to get Denpa Men and free items.
Since Denpa Ningen no RPG Free is currently Japan-only, a release of the card game in the West seems fairly unlikely, unfortunately.
Another batch of Monster Hunter X details
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
Even more Monster Hunter X details have come in from this week’s Famitsu. Catch up on the latest information below, courtesy of Siliconera’s translations.
One of the main focuses was having a system that brings the possibilities of using the same weapons with different play-styles.
The plans for Monster Hunter X began sometime around the production of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate. Capcom wanted to bring out more of a “festive” feeling that’s not in Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, so they decided to bring back villages from past titles, and add four main monsters, instead of the usual one-per-title.
The “Hunting Style” is a system that was made to bring out more possibilities from each weapon.
Capcom originally thought about adding a new weapon type. While that would’ve given Monster Hunter X a decent selling point, it would’ve been a lot of work, and would have required more of a focus on the new weapon(s). Instead, the team decided to focus on the player’s “attachment to the weapon” as a concept.
Hunting Styles come in four forms. One is the basic style seen in the past. The second lets you set more “Hunting Arts” than usual, along with more showy and offensive actions. The third one specializes in mid-air fights, which also lets you jump off monsters for special attacks and more. Finally, the fourth one is a style with the theme of “turning a pinch into an opportuniy.”
Hunting Arts came from the idea of giving players more of their own unique characteristics. There are several Arts, and these may vary depending on how they’re used. Some of them will work better with certain Hunting Styles, so players will get to mix and match to their liking.
Hunting Arts range from special attacks that deal major damage to enemies, or heals that recover allies, and buffs that support your party.
Capcom have prepared numerous Hunting Arts for each weapon, but there are also some “basic Hunting Arts” that can be used with any weapon, and you’ll get to choose from them all.
The four main monsters won’t simply appear over time as you advance through the game with one being stronger than the other, but they’re actually all along the same rank. They’re called the “Elite Four” among the developers.
Dinobaruto is the one they showed this time, and the idea behind it came from the thought of “hey, let’s make a land-type Rathalos.” While Dinobaruto uses fire attacks, it doesn’t fly, and focuses more on its actions on the ground. It has the image of a monster that would’ve lived back in the “world of dinosaurs.” With its tail and attack characteristics, it has a bit of a knight and swordsman’s feeling to it, and is the more orthodox monster of the four main monsters.

Latest Collectible Badge Center update adds BoxBoy! badges and more
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments
Nintendo has been adding new content to Collectible Badge Center pretty much every week. Here’s a look at what’s new with today’s update:
– Eight BoxBoy! panels
– This includes app icons (Mii Plaza, eShop, Settings, Activity Log etc etc)
– One more panel from Animal Crossing (including Isabelle!)
– Another panel for Rhythm Heaven
– One free play
– Another set (of four) Baito badges with one free for each ¥90 you spend until 31 July
– There’s also a theme but instead of being free after spending ¥180, you can but it outright for 200 yen
– This theme includes BGM as opposed to the ‘free’ themes
Nintendo has yet to make Collectible Badge Center available in the west. We’re hoping that will change at some point in the future!
