Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
If you pick up Shadow Puppeteer on the eShop today, it’s highly recommended that you play directly from the Wii U’s storage. Unfortunately, performance is drastically impacted if the download is being read from an external hard drive. The game’s developers to intend to patch things in the future, but until then, definitely be aware of the potential issues you may encounter.

Of course we want everyone to be able to play the game, from external hard drives too, so we will make sure to address this in our patches.

3DS update 10.5.0-30 out now
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 27 Comments
Update: Updates notes are in, and Nintendo didn’t surprise us! It’s the standard line: “Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience”. There’s been talk about the previous version causing issues with SD card corruption, so perhaps today’s patch addresses that.
Following last week’s firmware release, the 3DS has once again received another update. Version 10.5.0-30 is out now.
Nintendo has yet to share any notes about today’s update. Once they’re available, we’ll add them in here. I’d be surprised if it’s anything beyond improved stability though!
