Nintendo Netword ID and Miiverse to come to 3DS

According to Nintendo, a new update for the 3DS this December that will allow users to use a Nintendo Network ID and Miiverse on 3DS along with Wii U. Whether the ID will replace Friend Codes is confirmed or not.

EDIT: Users will be able to create a new ID for their 3DS, or if they have a Wii U, they can link their 3DS with their Wii U ID, which will also link the two system's e-shop funds.

More Pokemon X and Y News

As of now, this week will be good because even more news has been released for the long awaited Pokemon X and Y. Probably the biggest news is the new Fairy type . It will include the new Eeveelution and many past Pokemon.

To top it off, Pokemon X and Y will be released on October 12, 2013 worldwide.





Edit: I forgot to mention one new feature called Pokemon-Amie, which allows you to interact with your Pokemon. I cannot find a good picture for it, but I will put one up when I can get one.


Edit: Found a good picture of Pokemon-Amie.

New Games For 3DS

In today's Nintendo Direct, Iwata announced new games for the 3DS and I must say I'm impressed.



Mario & Luigi: Dream Team

This is probably the one I really want. Being a fan of Superstar Saga, this excites me. It's supposed to release in the Summer this year, so I'm guessing that's in all regions. Either way, this is definitely on my want list and may be worthy of a review.




   








Mario Golf: World Tour

New Mario Golf game. Personally, I'm not into most of the sport games, but it may still be interesting. Currently, no pictures are available.

Edit: I found some pictures that I will show.














Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D



I don't see much information about this one yet, but it may be a 3DS reboot of Donkey Kong Country Returns.


Also, while I'm still around, I apologize for the delay of the Paper Mario review. I hope to work on it soon and have it up as soon as possible.

Pokemon X and Y Announced

This morning, the big announcement was revealed to be the big start for Generation VI in Pokemon. In October, Pokemon X and Y will be released in America, Japan, and Europe. It will be released on the 3DS and will have fresh, new graphics. I also have pictures that have been revealed this morning. These pictures all are from Serebii.

Xerneas, the X Legendary Pokemon

Yveltal, the Y Legendary Pokemon

Not a lot is known yet, but I will post any new information either here or on Twitter.

Update: The Legendary Pokemon names have been revealed as Xerneas for X and Yveltal for Y, as seen in the captions for the pictures above.

Wii U Now Available in North America

A small reminder that the Wii U is now out in North America. For Europe and Australia, the system will release on November 30, along with December 8 for Japan. Probably won't be getting my hands on one anytime soon, but I know it will be pretty good and hope it is enjoyed.

Pokedex 3D Pro Out Now

Just a reminder that Pokedex 3D Pro is now available on America, Europe and Australia 3DS eShop. It features information on all 649 pokemon (Meloetta must be unlocked via password, which is currently only available in Japan). It is a bit pricey, costing almost $15.00 in America, so I probably won't get it anytime soon. I hear it is still pretty good.

Genesect Event for the U.S.

Getting home from Gamestop with my new Keldeo, I learned of a new event coming for Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. Starting on October 7, you can get the mechanical insect pokemon Genesect. This time, you get it via wireless internet, so you don't have to start your game in the store. The event will last till November 12th, so you will have at least a month to receive it. Remember, it launches the same day as Pokemon B2/W2, so it can be received any time before the deadline.

Mushroom City Department of Motor Vehicles

My recent and newest creation is under construction. What it is going to be is a Mario Kart "encyclopedia", if you must. What I plan for it to include is information about various racers, details about all of the tracks, and items and what they do. I hope to work on it a little tomorrow, although I do have an introductory post already up. Here is the link to check it out:http://mcdmv.blogspot.com/

Mario Kart 7 System Update

An update for Mario Kart 7 has been made available to fix the shortcut problem with Maku Wuhu and a few other courses. Starting tomorrow, this update will be needed in order to play online. To download it, make sure you have your copy of Mario kart 7 in, go to the e shop, and you should be taken to the download screen for the update. If you choose to ignore it for now, the update will be available on the e shop main menu for download any time. Make sure you get the new 3ds system update before you do this, though. Also note that the glitches are still in the main game and that the update is not needed to play single player or local multiplayer.

Pokemon Black 2 and White 2, Pokedex and AR Searcher Updates

A special event will be available for a Meloetta musical via Global Link in Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 (so musicals will be in the sequel???). Another interesting fact is that Meloetta and Keldeo will unlock something special in the upcoming game, but it has not been 100% revealed yet. Also, gym leaders and champions for the Pokemon World Tournament (I really like the tune of that) will supposedly be downloaded via Wi Fi Connection. On small note, the first US name for a town has been revealed. The first city in the game, Hiougi City, has been revealed to be Aspertia City. Also the US box art has been revealed as well.

In the Pokedex 3D Pro news, the dex is to have a new feature called Pokemon Challenge, which its functions are not known yet. Also, all pokemon will be unlocked from the start, eliminating the frustrating and upsetting "trading data to complete pokedex" task. It is to release this autumn. Also the first English entries have been revealed.

For the Pokemon AR Searcher, its official name is Pokemon Dream Radar. As we already know, it's compatible with Black 2 and White 2. It takes place in an area named Dream Valley (My house? My backyard? My truck?) Enough daydreaming, anyway, this valley is where Professor Burnett studies. Transfers of caught pokemon will be direct through the 3ds system. Like the pokedex, it will be released in autumn. Also, just for kicks, the Tornadus silhouette has been revealed.

As a bonus, the "official?" artwork for the Kami trio Sacred Beasts have been revealed. I will re-inform if this changes.

Update on Yesterday's Update

More information regarding Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 has been confirmed. Firstly, the new Kami trio forms have been given more light. Tornadus is indeed a bird, but Thundurus appears to be a dragon instead of a weasel, and Landorus appears to be a type of wildcat instead of a bear. These forms will be called their Sacred Beast Forms and their previous will be their Incarnation Forms. These forms will also have no type change.

Second, Cheren will return to the new games as the Normal type gym leader, replacing Lenora. Alder will also return as a character of the games and Bianca will return as an assistant to Professor Juniper. N is missing, so this means he will make a possible big appearance somewhere deep in the games. Along with this another new professor named Professor Burnett is to appear for the Pokemon AR Searcher. Also mentioned yesterday, the past gym leader battles are bought together and will be known as the Pokemon World Tournament.

Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 Updates

According to Serebii, pictures have leaked from CoroCoro that shows that the Kami trio will get new forms for the upcoming Pokemon Black 2 and White 2. Tornadus' new form is that of a bird (which is very similar to the silhouette from the Pokemon AR Searcher app). Thundurus' form is slightly difficult to tell, but it looks like it may be based off a weasel or mongoose possibly. Landorus' form is possibly the most difficult to tell, but from the shape of the head, its form may possibly be based off a bear. Here are the forms in question.

Also a quick compare of Tornadus to the bird silhouette in the Pokemon AR Searcher.

Also along with this, we have some currently unconfirmed information. Firstly, the musical will possibly be replaced with a movie theater, which is this building.

Secondly, Cheren from the previous Pokemon Black and White will possibly return as a gym leader. Third, the three Kami trio alternate forms will possible only be available by catching them in the Pokemon AR Searcher (explaining the Tornadus silhouette). Finally, there is supposedly an area where gym leaders and champions from previous Pokemon games can be battled which I hope makes it to the final game because it already sounds better than the Battlefield in Pokemon Platinum.
