The Nintendo Wii/3DS/Wii U Thread

[Hekti]

Problem with the new puzzles is that you need to MEET people via SpotPass to get those pink pieces and I live in a small town where apparently no one besides me owns a 3DS so ...

[Cyber-Robin]

^ I used to have no problem with getting puzzle pieces. But since Game and Gamestation closed down I very rarely pick them up anymore.

[black-leg jex]

i find the pink pieces really difficult to get but i know of at least 2 people in my college who i apparently walk past on a rgular basis with a 3ds. But were just gonna run out of pieces to swap soon

[RPGJay]

My summer is just about to start so it's going to be awhile before I am able to regularly Streetpass others. I tend to get at least one Streetpass every other day at my college and usually get a lot of pieces for Puzzle Swap (even though no one seems to have the last pink piece I need for Mario Kart 7).

Just a reminder to euroap that if you bought Xenoblade, Last Story & Pandora's Tower, if you register them you can get some commemorative coins:

Worth it even if you don't want them as no doubt they'll be worth a bob or two in a few years.

Some pretty juicy news.

Remember Nintendo announced how there's going to be a 3D (Super Mario 3D Land) and a 2D Mario game? Well, we just received the title yesterday and it's going to be a sequel to NSMB for the 3DS called NSMB2. It's coming out in America and Europe in the month of August. Some screenshots here: http://nintendo3dsblog.com/new-super-mario-bros-2-is-coming-to-the-3ds-this-august

To celebrate the 20th anniversary of Kirby, we're getting about the same thing we got with Mario's. A disc with various Kirby games and maybe other stuff too. http://mynintendonews.com/2012/04/21/kirby-20th-anniversary-disc-coming-to-wii/

There's going to be a update for the 3DS coming to Europe and America April 25th. The update creates "folders" you can use to organize your home menu however you want to. It also allows games to be patched and one of the first games to be patched is Mario Kart 7 with Maku Wuhu being noted that it will be patched and along with other exploits. The patch for MK7 is coming in May.

Sorry about that. Stop coming to AP for a bit.

Ultimate random question. Is there a microphone built into the 3DS? I know it was very very rarely used on the DS but can't seem to see if it's there for the new one.

[Hekti]

I guess ... you can make videos with the camera and I think the videos are with sound.
Wasn't a game developer saying that they are planning on using the 3DS micorphone to allow voice chat online? Or am I imaging things ... ? (don't remember which game though)

Bottom right of the device, either next to the power charging light or under the start button.

[black-leg jex]

under the start button i believe

[Kaboom]

Yep, it's right there. Not even labeled or anything, just a small hole on the edge of the bottom screen's raised ridge, right below the Start button.



EDIT: Hey, lookit that, the 3DS firmware update has gone live early! Got my 4 folders ("System Apps," "DSiWare," "Ambassador," and "Demos") already created and filled. Oh, and apparently the eShop got itself a minor update as well. Now there's a scrolling line of dedicated categories in the bottom half of the main screen.

[Hekti]

Yeah finally folders, my Home Menu was a mess :D

Played the demo for Rythm Thief, it was pretty funny. Really considering to buy it

Sakurai about Smash Bros. WiiU

It's not much but I am glad that Sakurai at least has the right idea: not just more stages and a bigger roster
