Nintendo will be appearing at the first PAX South event in San Antonio, Texas later this week, the company announced today.

Attendees will be able to go hands on with the New 3DS XL before it launches on February 13. Additionally, Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, and Super Smash Bros. for 3DS will be playable.

Nintendo is celebrating the upcoming launch of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D with a “72-Hour Mask Challenge”. This asks fans to create their own personalized masks. More information will be published on Nintendo of America’s Twitter account.

Also tying in to promote Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D, fans will be able to take photos with a real-life replica of the Majora’s Mask and receive paper versions to wear around the convention (while supplies last). Those who come dressed in costumes inspired by The Legend of Zelda will be able to bypass lines to get hands-on time with the 3DS game.

PAX South runs between January 23 and January 25. Head past the break for today’s complete announcement.

505 Games appears to be bringing Terraria to Nintendo platforms, based on GameFly listings. The retailer has Terraria listed for both Wii U and 3DS.

GameFly lists an October 31 release date for both versions. However, this is likely a placeholder.

Terraria was once thought to be out of the question for Wii U and 3DS. I wonder what changed!

We have some good news for those who have been on the lookout for Wii U’s GameCube controller adapter. Some consumers are starting to see stock return to stores – including one Best Buy in Dallas, Texas. This likely means that we should begin seeing the adapter at other locations across the United States as well.

Square Enix has even more downloadable content lined up for Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call. The next batch of songs could end up being very interesting, as it’s rumored that tracks from “The World Ends with You” are on the way.

“Calling” (field music) and “Twister” (battle music) are the two supposed tracks from The World Ends with You. We’ll also apparently be getting more songs from Chrono Trigger and a couple of other pieces.

Here’s the full lineup of tracks that are apparently coming soon:

Calling – The World Ends with You, 3:25, FMS
Twister – The World Ends with You, 1:17, BMS
Wind Scene – Chrono Trigger, 1:59, FMS
World Revolution – Chrono Trigger, 2:03, BMS
Final Confrontation – Romancing SaGa 3, 2:17, BMS
Liberi Fatali – Final Fantasy VIII, 3:05, BMS

Rumors about the above DLC seem to originate from the website ElOtroLado. Last month, forum member “SnakeElegido” posted several images that seem to confirm the downloadable content. It’s unclear how the person managed to access unreleased DLC, but the post looks accurate. SnakeElegido actually listed other tracks with his original post like Xenogears’ Soaring, which Square Enix eventually confirmed and released last week.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

It’s now possible to bypass the 3DS’ region lock through a simple exploit.

The exploit, known as “RegionThree”, only requires system owners to download a file and access the Internet. You can check out the process in the video above, and view full instructions here.

This exploit does work with the latest version of the 3DS’ firmware. However, it’s not compatible with New 3DS systems.
