Best Buy and Nintendo to offer unique 3DS downloadable content
Nintendo and Best Buy announced that they are planning to install 1000 Nintendo 3DS hot spots in Best Buy stores throughout the United States. These stations will be able to offer up automatic wireless access to patrons starting June 7. A "variety of fun content" will be available such as new SpotPass features, movie trailers, exclusive offers and other bonus goodies. It is not known at this point if the movie trailers will showcase the 3D capabilities of the new handheld.
Can Nintendo’s anthropomorphic wingmen make a comeback? Sure they can. The question is who will make it possible.
What the hell happened to Star Fox? Despite Nintendo being famous for developing and publishing high quality games, the Star Fox series has taken a nosedive. I loved both Star Fox on the SNES, its unreleased sequel for the same system and Star Fox 64, one of the best Nintendo 64 games ever.
This week brings a special edition of PixlTalk.
As you can plainly see, PixlBit 2.0 is now alive and well. To celebrate its launch, we went on podcasting overdrive last week, producing three distinct episodes, each of which feature different members from the PixlBit staff.
A system update will allow players to access the new features, though they are coming a bit later than promised.
Yesterday night, Nintendo announced that a new system update will be coming to the Nintendo 3DS on June 6. This update will provide players access to the eagerly awaited eShop as well as Internet browsing abilities.
North American Tales fans will get a double dose of the popular JRPG in the coming months.
North American Tales series fans won't have to wait much longer to get their Tales fix. Two Tales games will be making their way to American shores, the first of which is due out later this year. Tales of the Abyss 3D is a port of the original game, which released on the PlayStation 2 in 2006. Developers have promised that this remake will not only keep everything fans loved about the original, but that the game will feature fully remastered graphics that take full advantage of the 3DS hardware.
The next installment of Namco Bandai's tale of souls and swords hits Xbox 360 and PS3 in 2012.
Three years after the release of Soulcalibur IV, Soulcalibur V was officially announced by Namco Bandai last night. Due out for a 2012 release on the Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3, the next installation of the weapon-based fighting series will return in all of its violent and chesty glory.
Stay tuned for a special announcement about PixlBit, as well as your regularly scheduled content from the PixlTalk crew.
This week starts with a special site announcement delivered by Nick and Chessa, but is promptly followed by regular weekly discussion. Given the swirling rumors of the Wii successor, discussion of the upcoming system continued this week. What's now confirmed as Project Cafe is discussed in detail, as is the credibility of the various rumors that are floating around.
One of the more unique games to launch with the 3DS.
Steel Diver has a rather odd history. Originally a Nintendo DS tech demo, the game appeared to be one of those neat concepts that never came to fruition. A generation later the game is set to release as a 3DS launch title.
Wait, they are calling it the Circle Pad now? Well that’s just lame.
I could list all the 3DS features, but that would seem just silly; I am not a PR machine. March 27th is soon upon us all, and we will all have the 3DS in our grasp. Will I be ready to handle a brand new Nintendo handheld system? While it will take a bit for me to experience the 3D aspect (since Nintendo of Canada hasn’t bothered to release any 3DS tour information yet), it will be yet another handheld cycle for me to go through, and I’m looking forward to it.
