3DS discussion with Tokyo Gameshow Tidbits: Ace Vs. Layton

By the way square, hurry up with a 3DS follow up to TWEWY.

Square in Japan just trademarked The World Ends With You which may be in part because of KH3D but it could mean something more. Hopefully!

It was a physical thing, not an in game thing

Ah, that would explain it. That sucks

Well, the NES titles being exclusive for Ambassadors for a time has come to an end : http://www.nintendo.co.jp/3ds/eshop/vc/index.html

Oh, well. It was going to happen sooner or later anyway; even Nintendo stated they were planning on releasing the NES ones. At least the GBA games should remain 100% exclusive.

All the NES games were crap anyway, I doubt I'm even gonna bother redownloading the updated versions with whatever the features they added were.

Which is a bad thing. I'd love for nintendo to put the GBA emulator they made to good use and release more GBA games to buy. There are tons of GBA games that are worth a re-release on the virtual console, unlike a lot of the terrible GB and NES games they're going to be releasing.
For another, if they actually planned on selling them, they'd probably make the multiplayer options work like they're doing for the NES games.

Weird. I thought TWEWY had a different name in japan, "It's a wonderful World" or something along those lines. Probably just trademarking it so no-one else can use the name instead of making a new game.

I agree, to an extent. There are a lot of GBA games I'd like to see put in the Virtual Console list. I'm still awaiting the release of the Oracle of Seasons and Ages games to be put in the Virtual Console.

It does, which is why it's noteworthy that they trademarked TWEWY

Oh, hello, random system update. I wonder what it's for.

Speaking of updates, I wonder when we're going to get game demos that we were promised with the last system update. Japan has already gotten game demos, yet we haven't seen any yet. :<

Nintendo Letter Box is available for download now for those that don't know. (Free of course)

Oh, cool. It's that program you can use to send 3DS friends messages.

L> friends... :< I only have Dennis to send notes to.

I just spammed a friend of mine with like 5 pointless letters. It really sucks this isn't integrated in the Friend Menu though, because now you'd have to close your game to send messages (and even then it's not really an instant messenger). Not that we really need an instant messenger, but it would be great to have, even with this being fun and nice and all.

Seems like the Nintendo direct event revealed a ton of new trailers. Really interested in Fire Emblem and Bravely Default

Crap, I forgot Nintendo Direct was today.

I heard about Fire Emblem 3DS being out by March and some sort of paid DLC thing this morning, though.

EDIT: Oh, it's April 19th now and I don't see any mention of that DLC thing anymore.

So, apparently, The Binding of Isaac may be coming out for the Nintendo 3DS. http://www.bannerladder.com/n3dsnews/?shurl=cwjlwr9

That would be a pretty interesting release. I'd love to try out the game. I hear it's really good.

It's alright. I wouldn't buy it for the inevitably horribly inflated price it'll end up on the eShop for though.
For a few more hours you can get it for basically nothing on steam.

Also, I wouldn't be surprised if the unmentioned developer looking at publishing it is Nicalis.

Yeah, I'm quite honestly surprised it would even go on the 3DS when it's already extremely cheap on Steam without any discounts...

Nicalis had the balls to release cave story for full retail price, they obviously have no sense of value. And I can't imagine many other developers that would try and get someone elses indie game onto the eShop right now.

Swapnote, The RPG!

I love Swapnote. It's a neat application. I've been sending people tons of Zelda drawings. Lmfao I just got finished with a drawing of Link based off of the Link's Awakening sprite.

Swapnote was more of a depressing reminder that I can't draw to save my life.

I can't write on a touchscreen to save my life.
