Take to the skies and soar in Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

Legendary Pokémon Latios and Latias Mega Evolve and Help Trainers Navigate the Hoenn Region by Air, Special Demo Version Details, New Mega-Evolved Pokémon, and Gameplay Features Revealed
LONDON, United Kingdom.—14 October 2014— Today, The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo announced that the Legendary Pokémon Latios can be obtained in Pokémon Omega Ruby, while Latias can be obtained in Pokémon Alpha Sapphire when the titles launch 28 November 2014 for Nintendo 3DS and 2DS systems. These high-flying Dragon- and Psychic-type Pokémon can Mega Evolve and fly freely through the skies of the Hoenn region. Trainers can hop on the back of their Mega Latios or Mega Latias and navigate the region through the air at high speed while performing midair tricks and hairpin turns. This brand-new method of travel, called Soar, takes a player’s Pokémon adventure to new heights and provides access to Mirage spots, where rare Pokémon—including Legendary Pokémon—and valuable items may appear.
It was also revealed today that Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire players will be able to obtain the Eon Ticket later this year, granting them access to the Hoenn region’s Southern Island, where they can encounter and catch Latias in Pokémon Omega Ruby or Latios in Pokémon Alpha Sapphire. This is the only way players can catch these Legendary Pokémon in-game, as they cannot be caught during normal gameplay. More details about when and how players can obtain the Eon Ticket will be announced later this year.

3DS eShop software can now be downloaded on the Home Menu

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments

In the past, 3DS users had two main options available if they were interested in obtaining software from the eShop. Content could be downloaded straight from the digital store, or users could opt to have items download while their system was in sleep mode.

A third option is also now available, which was likely added with last week’s 3DS firmware update. It’s possible to download content directly on the Home Menu – without putting your system in Sleep Mode.

Here’s how it works:

1. Choose the “Download Later” option on the eShop
2. Hover over the new present icon on the Home Menu and click “View Details”
3. Hit the “Y” button

And that’s it! If you want to continue the download in Sleep Mode, just press the “B” button on the 3DS.

eShop web store pages discovered

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, General Nintendo, News, Wii U eShop | 35 Comments

Nintendo promised a web-based eShop ages ago. But for whatever reason, it has yet to materialize. Perhaps something is on the horizon though…

A few folks over on NeoGAF have managed to detect a live page for the web eShop. You can view it right here. While it’s clearly still a work in progress (and likely not meant to be accessed by the common user), it seems that there’s actually some functionality in place.

We’re hearing some reports that automatic downloading is working for Wii U, believe it or not. Users can enter a redeemable code on this page.

When will Nintendo officially launch the web eShop? That is unknown at present. But at the very least, it still appears to be development… and hopefully we’ll see it officially go live soon!
