Nintendo have published a new video in which the load times of the latest Monster Hunter game, Monster Hunter X, are compared between the game running on a New Nintendo 3DS and a regular Nintendo 3DS.

Update: Bumped to the top. We also have confirmation of another two cover plates for Europe.

In his briefing on Nintendo’s financial results in October, President Satoru Iwata stated that the company was considering making it possible for 3DS owners to make purchases on the eShop through touching a prepaid Suica card to the console’s NFC sensor. Starting from December 9th, Japanese New Nintendo 3DS owners will be able to make use of this convenient new feature, making it the first handheld game console to allow for NFC payments. Making purchases on the eShop will also reward users with Suica points, with one point awarded for each 200 yen spent. Like the Wii U, which already supports this method of payment, this will presumably be allowed by another super-stable firmware update.
