    Nintendo 3DS

    Topico para falar dos assuntos desta consola.

    After 3 Years, The Nintendo 3DS has Finally Been Hacked





    After 3 years of being available, the Nintendo 3DS has finally been exploited to run unofficial software or “homebrew”. The exploit itself was discovered in a pretty much unknown game available for the system – “Cubic Ninja”, a very poor, forgotten title that nobody really cared about prior to the discovery.
    The game’s QR function contains a vulnerability that means it is able to run unsigned code, something very rare on a Nintendo system, as these things are typically hard to get by the company’s tough quality control testing.
    The title has now skyrocketed in price on eBay and Amazon – a game that previously was available for around $1-2 is now averaging at about $40.
    The game runs the ‘Homebrew Channel’, a piece of software akin to Cydia on iOS, that allows DS and 3DS owners to run pretty much anything they like on their console – the video bellow shows a specially made version of Minecraft running, a game that is not officially available for the 3DS.

    Nintendo set to discontinue the 3DS XL in Japan

    It looks like Nintendo’s plans for ‘the new 3DS’ might be bigger than we thought as the company has announced that it will discontinue the 3DS XL in Japan following the launch of the handheld’s successor.
    For those of you who missed the initial announcement, a few months back Nintendo revealed ‘the new 3DS’ (yes that is what they are calling it), the new handheld will replace the current 3DS with updated internals, a new screen and a tiny little second analog stick. Games created for the new 3DS won’t run on older models, technically making this a new generation handheld.

    The new 3DS has already launched in Japan and apparently, it is doing very well. According to Siliconera, which translated a post on Nintendo’s official Japanese website, the company will be “ending production soon” of the 3DS XL, although the smaller 3DS will be sticking around for a bit longer. The new model is due to arrive in Europe and the US some time next year although no exact date has been set.

    Nintendo UK is removing Game Boy Tetris from the 3DS eShop in 2015

    As confirmed by Nintendo's UK Twitter, the age-old classic Game Boy Tetris will be pulled from the eShop durng the last day of 2014.


    This marks the end of an era, with Tetris on the original Game Boy being a title that helped define handheld gaming globally and showcased exactly how exciting and awesome potable devices could be. If you ask anyone about a gaming title they might know, Tetris is always one of the first to mind - a timeless classic that still facilitates global competitions and events being conducted to this very day.

    There has been no confirmation from Nintendo America or other regions as to if this game will be pulled from the e-shelves in their respective regions. Some news outlets are speculating that this game was pulled due to Nintendo's recent 3DS release of Ubisoft's Tetris Ultimate. Currently avilable for the bargain price of $3.99, please don't let this news ruin your fun - go and pick yourself up a piece of gaming history. We really hope that Ubisoft isn't at fault for this ordeal, it certainly couldn't do too well in improving the current markets public opinion of the big-name developer.

    Is anyone else reminded of the original PC Prince of Persia main screen when looking at the Tetris player select? Maybe it's the Persian-style background buildings.


    Now that reminds me, I really need to dust off my SNES and have a quick game of Tetris Attack - my personal favorite in the series.

    US and UK release date for ‘The New 3DS XL’ announced

    Nintendo Direct just finished up earlier today so there are a fair few announcements hitting the web right now. One of the bigger things to be announced is the release date for the ‘New 3DS XL’ outside of Japan. The hand held console will launch on the 13th of February, following a successful launch in Japan.
    A smaller version of the new 3DS will also launch in the UK but the US will only be getting the XL version. Both versions feature Nintendo’s take on a second analog stick, a more powerful CPU, bigger battery and built in NFC support for Amiibos.

    Games made specifically for the ‘new’ 3DS won’t work on older 3DS models. However, the new hand held will be backwards compatible with old 3DS games. So far, only one game has been announced specifically for the new model, Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, which launches in April.
    The updated consoles already launched in Japan and Australia last year, while the US and UK have had to wait a little longer. Exact pricing has yet to be confirmed but last week Nintendo sold off a limited number of new 3DS models for £180 each in the UK.
    Those of you planning to buy one will also have to budget for a charger as Nintendo does not bundle those in the box. The device will also be region locked, so you won’t be able to play any imported games.

    A new Fire Emblem game will be coming to the 3DS

    There is a lot of Nintendo news hitting the web today thanks to the Nintendo Direct Conference, despite the ‘new 3DS XL’ coming out in the EU and US next month, new games for the now ‘old’ 3DS are still being announced. The developers of the highly praised Fire Emblem: Awakening, will return with a new game this year.
    No title or release date has been given yet but the game will run on the ‘new 3DS’, the old 3DS and the 2DS. Some JRPG development veterans will also be returning with Kozaki Yusuke focussing on art direction and Shin Kibayashi as the game writer, who had previously worked on the Fatal Frame series.

    Aside from this, details are thin, we don’t even know how far along in the development cycle this game is, so it may be another year or so before we get to play it. However, the game is in good hands as it is being made by the Fire Emblem Awakening team, which did a fantastic job the last time around.

    New Nintendo 3DS XL hits US, European store shelves on February 13

    The Nintendo New 3DS XL will finally be released in the United States on February 13 with a $200 price tag, and includes a number of hardware improvements for gamers. The new gaming unit has better face-tracking 3D, a more powerful processor, additional shoulder buttons, built-in NFC and a second analog mini-stick for gamers.


    Nintendo also decided not to include an AC adapter with the New 3DS XL, so owners will get home and find they don't have a bundled charger. All new units will have a 4GB micro SD card, as Nintendo moved from standard SD to micro SD, due to changes in the internal layout of the new 3DS XL's hardware.

    Unfortunately, Nintendo isn't releasing the New Nintendo 3DS in the United States, despite it launching in Japan and Australia.

    New Nintendo 3DS XL: Whats New in the Handheld

    Nintendo is releasing it’s new Nintendo 3DS XL handheld console on the 13th of February. The device has been announced just weeks short of the new original 3DS handheld and for a bit of extra cash, you can get the new handheld at $200 which will include the device itself but not its charger, given that it’s traditional charger is a bit bulky and many claims have been put up that you’d be better off with just a simple USB charger then the more expensive and redundant version of the charger sold by the Nintendo itself.

    The Features of the New Handheld by Nintendo

    The first look isn’t at all that different from the previous version, but what you will notice that the device is much sleeker, mainly because of its a glossy finish. The new release is also a bit bigger and thinner than the previous version, and these additions will make the device look better than the par finish of the previous handheld.


    The volume slider has been shifted to the right side of the screen and the Start and Select buttons have been sifted to the right of the bottom screen. The memory card slot has been changed to a Micro SD, as it is the memory stick commonly used now days and also because it takes lesser space. New triggers on the back of the unit feature ZL and ZR triggers, and a bit more popular version which caught the crowds eye is the ‘C-stick,’ which is located just to the top left of the typical face buttons and helps in-game to manipulate the camera freely at any time. This new and interesting feature is a good addition to the handheld as it will give user more freedom on the game map.
    What you won’t notice in the console until you turn it on is the new face-tracking camera Nintendo has added to the device which enables the handheld console to the image to the players viewing angle by tracking the users eyes. Fascinating, isn’t it? and it’s fast and accurate altogether, providing you with crisp 3D and no apparent blurriness, a problem common in its predecessors.
    Overall, the device is a wholesome improvement over the previous version of the 3DS and Nintendo has created a much better version of the 3DS which looks better in the hand and provides a better gaming experience although it may present problems in terms of charging it if your don’t buy a charger separately for the device.

    Majora’s Mask New 3DS XL has been selling out fast in the US

    Yesterday, Nintendo announced the new 3DS XL for the US and UK markets alongside a brand new Majora’s Mask themed edition. It turns out, people really really wanted the Zelda themed hand-held as it has pretty much sold out everywhere, just a day after pre-orders went live.
    Over at GameStop, the Majora’s Mask 3DS sold out in just 15 minutes online. Speaking with Polygon, a store representative said: “Online, the Majora’s Mask bundle sold out within 15 minutes”.

    GameStop customers could still go in-store to order one though. Best Buy has also sold out.
    As a result of this high demand, scalpers have managed to get their orders in and then charge ridiculous prices for the console on eBay, with many listings going for as high as $400.
    Amazon currently has no stock and there is no word on a UK release for the special edition new 3DS. Although, GAME UK do have a Monster Hunter 4 themed one available online.

    3DS browser exploit lets you play Game Boy Color roms

    Despite Nintendo’s best efforts to keep the 3DS locked down and uncrackable to those looking to play ROM files, a new exploit has been discovered, allowing users to emulate Game Boy Color titles. The whole thing works by ‘injecting’ ROM files in to the memory of a legitimately downloaded Game Boy Color game from the 3DS eShop.
    By pausing the bought and paid for game and then switching to the 3DS browser, you can download ROM files and get them running via the paused game still on in the background. This work around is limited to the regular 3DS, 2DS and 3DS XL, the ‘new’ 3DS is immune to this method due to an updated browser.






    The emulation is also limited to Game Boy Color games specifically, you won’t be playing any GBA games unfortunately.

    Now that this exploit is public, Nintendo will likely patch it up in an update some time soon. However, you can buy a limited number of Game Boy games on the Nintendo eShop if you really want your fix.

    New 3DS Handhelds, Wii U Games Fuel Nintendo's Rebound

    Yesterday, Nintendo posted its financial report for March 2014 - December 2014, and looking over the results, the report in general is positive, showing a 174,500,000,000 Japanese yen ($1,474,441,240 USD) increase in total assets. It also shows a net income of 59,515,000,000 Japanese yen ($502,873,182 USD) for the time period.
    Promising New Handheld

    Recently, Nintendo has been busy with the excitement of the newest members of its handheld console line, the New Nintendo 3DS and the New Nintendo 3DS XL. The new handheld launched in Japan on October 11, 2014, and in Australia and New Zealand on November 21, 2014, but it has not yet launched in other parts of the world.
    The first three months of sales in Japan added up to 1.75 million units, with just another 80,000 units sold in Australia and New Zealand. Taken together, these figures show a very strong launch of the new systems.
    By comparison, the now old Nintendo 3DS that launched back in February 26, 2011 only managed to garner 1.03 million units sold in Japan. However, it's possible that the outgoing handhelds sold by Nintendo at the time, the Nintendo DSi and DSi XL, cannibalized sales a bit.
    Looking back at the financial report for the launch of the Nintendo 3DS, sales for Nintendo's outgoing Nintendo DSi and DSi XL reaching a staggering combined total of 2.35 million units. By comparison, the 750,000 units reported for the Nintendo 3DS at the launch of the New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL is a much smaller threat to the new system.
    Nintendo plans to launch the New Nintendo 3DS and New Nintendo 3DS XL on February 13, 2015 in Europe. North America won't see the New Nintendo 3DS, but the New Nintendo 3DS XL should be available there on February 14, 2015.
    Looking at the sales figures, it is easy to see that Nintendo's handheld consoles have sold much better in the Americas than in Japan. The numbers do appear to follow a similar trend, however. Just like in Japan, during this last sales season, sales of the Nintendo 3DS XL and Nintendo 2DS are down relative to the end-of-life sales for the Nintendo DSi and DSi XL at the launch of their successor.
    At the launch of the Nintendo 3DS in North America, similar to Japan, sales of the Nintendo DSi and DSi XL reached 8.39 million units, while Nintendo 3DS sales sat at a mere 1.32 million. This again shows evidence that Nintendo's outgoing system was likely eating into the sales for the new console. This should be less of a problem with the New Nintendo 3DS XL. For this last period, the Nintendo 3DS and 2DS handhelds only had a combined total of 2.19 million units sold.
    With the outgoing handhelds selling roughly six million fewer units at end-of-life than their predecessors, sales for the New Nintendo 3DS XL look promising. If sales of the new handheld follow the same course, the New Nintendo 3DS XL won't have any trouble breaking the 1.32 million launch sales of its predecessor and could potentially even reach over 2 million sales in its first quarter.
    Wii U On The Rise

    Turning our attention over to sales of the company's home console, the Wii U, things continue to look bright for Nintendo. Following a series of successful releases of top-rated first-party and second-party games, Nintendo has seen significant growth in sales of both the Wii U hardware and associated software.
    In Japan, sales surprisingly dropped, despite the launch of these console-exclusive games, from 830,000 devices and 3.47 million software units sold in the last period down to 490,000 devices and 2.85 million software units sold. The growth was highest in the Americas and other parts of the world. World sales (excluding Japan) saw a 60 percent increase in hardware sales, climbing from 1.58 million to 2.54 million, while software sales jumped up 42 percent, to 17.74 million from 12.49 million. This is despite increased competition from Microsoft and Sony.
    All of this adds up to a strong year for Nintendo. As a result of the poor initial sales of the Nintendo Wii U and a declining net income, some began to question the future of Nintendo in the gaming world. Although Nintendo is the oldest of the three primary combatants in the game console market, it has faced ever-increasing pressure from the relatively weak hardware inside of its systems.
    Several triple-A gaming titles that launched for both Microsoft's Xbox One and Sony's Playstation 4 (and sometimes for Xbox 360 and Playstation 3) skipped over the Wii U entirely. The lack of sales has caused some third-party developers such as Ubisoft to pull all support for the system. Adapting games for use on various consoles is often an expensive and time-consuming process; that, combined with the initially poor sales for Wii U games, made these companies apparently no longer view the Wii U as a profitable console to port games to.
    With the dismal state of the Wii U, many declared it a failed console. Some went so far as to suggest that Nintendo should drop out of the console wars and turn its most valuable assets -- its extensive first-party game intellectual property -- into titles for other devices.
    Instead, Nintendo has decided to take advantage of that IP to gain ground against the competition. Nintendo has the most extensive first-party library of games available of the three major next-gen game consoles. Many of these titles launched during 2014, and the positive increase in global sales points to the Wii U making a come-back.
    The best news for Nintendo is that it hasn't played its full hand when it comes to console exclusives yet. Although many sequels to classic Nintendo games and recently-acquired game series have already been made (including entries in the Super Smash Bros. series, Donkey Kong series, Zelda series, Bayonetta series and several entries in the Mario universe), Nintendo still has untapped potential for games from the Metroid series, and others. This is not to mention confirmed games under development such as a new Zelda, Xenoblade Chronicles X and Devil's Third.
    After examining all of this information, it is easy to see that 2014 was an excellent year for Nintendo. With increasing sales and new releases coming up in the near future, it seems a fairly safe bet that 2015 could be even better.

    First Exclusive Title For new Nintendo 3DS out on April 10


    The new Nintendo 3DS is coming out in less than a week on February 13, in North America and Europe. It has already been released in Japan and Australia, since last year. It has been very well received and most of its enhancements and changes, have been for the better.
    Face Tracking 3D

    The 3D has been improved with the use of a camera, that tracks your face and adjusts the 3D effect accordingly, providing an excellent viewing experience. The addition of the c-stick, a nub resembling the ones used on IBM’s Thinkpads, works flawlessly in place of a second analog stick and the two additional shoulder buttons, provide much extra flexibility for both developers and players to accommodate their needs.

    North America will only get the new Nintendo 3DS XL, whereas Europe will also get the standard new Nintendo 3DS, also released in Japan and Australia. Both of these units receive the additional features as well as some enhancements made in their processing power. The performance boost provided, allows for much quicker loading times and downloads and further enhances the opening and closing of apps.


    Xenoblade Chronicles 3D graces the new Nintendo 3DS

    The system’s first exclusive title comes in the form of Xenoblade Chronicles 3D, an updated version of the Nintendo Wii title, released in 2012 in North America. The game follows Shulk and his band of friends as they search for answers about the mysterious “Monado” sword and defend their homeland from violent robotic creatures known as the Mechon. The game contains an open world design and strongly emphasizes exploration due to the world’s large size. The game was very well-received by critics, with many citing it as a great example of innovation and improvement in a rather stagnant genre of Japanese role-playing video games. The game has spawned a spiritual successor, Xenoblade Chronicles X, which is currently in development for the Wii U and is scheduled for release in 2015.
    Xenoblade Chronicles 3D will be exclusive to the new Nintendo 3DS and won’t be playable on the older systems.

    A third-person cover based game style is finally making it to the 3DS very soon. The Gears of War inspired game, Ironfall: Invasion is supposed to be Nintendo’s flagship third-person shooter game and should prove to be groundbreaking in how it approaches the genre on the 3DS.

    Developer VD-DEV has said that Friday February 13th with be the release date for Ironfall: Invasion, a cover-based shooter on the Nintendo 3DS.

    The development team is actually a smaller one with only three people actively working on the title. But the game seems to include all of the basic elements that one can expect from a cover-based third person shooter. It will also make heavy use of the c-stick for movement and challenge the players patience as they are under fire and making decisions as to when to pop-out to take out enemies. Like other games in the genre, you can make string together actions in order to quickly move between items of cover while under fire rather fluidly.
    The top screen will be used for displaying the heart pumping action while the second screen can be used to display information about your character, like health and ammo and the like. A heart rate monitor is actually used to display the relative health level in a really novel way. It actually looks quite amazing. There will also be a multiplayer mode that supports up to six players at a time. Local multiplayer will also be there, letting you battle it out, or cower in the corner, with your friends.


    Being that this is a first for the 3DS, we’ll have to wait to see what the actual final build plays like before passing judgement. It is, however a fresh new idea that could help to further vitalize the already successful 3DS. This, of course, is optimized for the “new” 3DS but can certainly be played on the older models without trouble, aside from the controls being remapped to accommodate the lack of the c-stick. I wonder, then, if there are any plans for a WII U version.
    I’d love to see the motion controls of the WII U being taken advantage of for a shooter, it would be most excellent I think. I know that a leaning system was integrated into Battlefield 4 when using the Kinect on the Xbox One, but I could never get it to quite work right. But Ironfall: Invasion should be interesting, and something to watch for those out there with a 3DS. It’s time to take the plunge I suppose.

    Transferring data to the new 3DS XL is complicated




    Nintendo makes a video to show the process in detail
    So the new 3DS XL is coming, but if I want to transfer my files from my 3DS/2DS over to the new 3DS XL can I do that?

    It turns out that the answer is "YES", but the process isn't exactly easy. In fact the requirement of a size 0 Phillips screwdrivers alone tips us off that this isn't going to be easy or quick.
    In fact Nintendo has made a video do show you the entire process in depth. First off you will need to gather the required stuff necessary to complete the process. Here is a list of what you will need: Your current 3DS/2DS and its SD Card, A New Nintendo 3DS XL and A microSD card of equal or larger capacity (a 4GB one comes installed in the New 3DS XL), A size 0 Phillips screwdriver, A computer, An adapter to connect the SD and MicroSD cards to said computer, and Wireless broadband internet access.
    While Nintendo admits that you can transfer your data across the wireless, they estimate that would take about 4 hours to do. So using the computer is the best way to get the transfer done the fastest, but it requires you go through about 14 steps to get it done. Apparently there is no simply way to make this happen any easier.

    New Nintendo 3DS XL Launches In U.S., Sells Without Charger


    Today, Nintendo released the New Nintendo 3DS XL in the United States.
    The new system brings many feature updates over the older 3DS system, although some of the changes may not be readily apparent. For example, on the outside of the devices, the changes are really subtle.
    The speaker holes have a different pattern, the color is a bit different, the volume switch was moved, the letters on the buttons have been colored, there are a few extra shoulder buttons and there is an extra little bump above the action buttons that users will likely mistake for a button.
    That extra little bump is actually what Nintendo calls a "C stick," but it's very similar to the TrackPoint pointing stick used on Lenovo's ThinkPads. This is expected to help give users better control in certain games.
    One of the New Nintendo 3D XL features uses the camera to track your face while in use. By doing so, the console is able to alter its displays slightly to improve the 3D effects.
    Going by Nintendo's specs, the only other changes to the devices are using a microSDHC instead of an SD card and having built-in NFC technology. The NFC technology is likely the most important change for users, as it will simplify the use of the Amiibos and no longer require a separate adapter.
    Although Nintendo's New Nintendo 3DS system has a few more features that help separate it from the older 3DS, such as changeable face plates, this version is not expected to make a release in the U.S.; only the New Nintendo 3DS XL will be seeing a release.
    A problem is already arising, however. Nintendo plans to sell the New Nintendo 3DS XL without a charger. Currently, the only users who will be able to charge their devices are those who own a similar device from Nintendo and use that charger.
    This works out really well for users who will trade in their old devices towards credit on the new one, but for anyone thinking they can just buy a New Nintendo 3DS XL without owning the old one, this will be a headache.
    Most simply, users who buy a New Nintendo 3DS XL and don't have the charger can buy the official one for $9.95 on Nintendo's store. It can also be purchased at Gamestop for $12.95, but after contacting a few local Gamestop stores, none of them had it in stock. Amazon has them available too, but at $13.98, and coming from lesser-known resellers.

    There are several third-party chargers not made by Nintendo, and these can be bought at many places such as Amazon or Ebay, but unfortunately, this will void the warranty of the device.
    Users who want to purchase the New Nintendo 3DS XL will be able to do so at many retailers for $199.99.
