Developers Unfazed by Separate Online Accounts
If you own a 3DS and Wii U you might have realized by now your online accounts aren’t connected. Fans and, apparently Nintendo employees, have clamored for a unified experience between Wii U and 3DS accounts. Still, unification remains an unfulfilled, oft-requested feature and we have heard little about its possible implementation. However, the discussion left out important party: developer...

Nintendo Discontinues Three Original 3DS Models in Japan
Nintendo axed three original 3DS models in Japan. Today we mourn the dearly departed Cosmo Black, Misty Pink and Ice White. It is survived by the remaining original 3DS colors — Gloss Pink, Light Blue and Metallic Red — and a plethora of special edition-themed handhelds available and yet-to-come. I always thought Japan had too many hardware colors/themes anyway. It appears Nintendo fe...

Pokemon “cloud” storage of sorts, the Pokemon Bank, announced
It’s 5:22am my time, and I’ve just finished watching the promised Pokemon-themed Nintendo Direct. Arguably the largest announcement of the Direct video was that of the Pokemon Bank, a secure online storage bank that’ll hold up to 3,000 of your Pokemon. The Pokemon Bank is downloadable for the Nintendo 3DS, with an annual fee attached. Thus, it appears to be an optional service. I...

Developed by Bertil Horberg, with music by Arne Horberg, Gunman Clive is a simplistic platformer available for download on the Nintendo 3DS eShop (and the Apple App Store, among others) for just $1.99. Though there isn’t anything groundbreaking about Gunman Clive, it is a lot of fun to play. The player assumes the role of, you guessed it, Gunman Clive (or two other possible choices) in his b...
