More After the Break...

The Ice White Nintendo 3DS is coming to Europe on December 2nd and will be bundled with Super Mario 3D Land. Nintendo of America has still yet to announce a release date for the console.


The Nintendo 3DS is still holding its own in Japan as it remains the best-selling platform in Japan. This week saw the Nintendo 3DS outselling the PlayStation Portable by 2 to 1 even though Square Enix released Final Fantasy Type-O exclusively for the platform.

2.- We all knew that Nintendo had implemented a Zelda themed level in Super Mario 3D Landand now we’ve got exclusive footage of the homage to the Legend of Zelda Series.

Unfortunately Mario doesn’t weld a sword, but you can jump into the Boomerang Suit.

According to one of the member’s of Neogaf the Super Mario 3D Land cartridge contains elements of the November firmware update. Once you’ve installed it your firmware will be updated to version 2.2.0-4J and you’ll be given the opportunity join a friend’s game in progress, presuming they’re playing online and you have the same game.

The firmware adds features including:

• a button that allows you to join a friend’s game online directly from the Friend’s List.
• a feature that automatically moves friends who are online to the top of the Friend’s List.
• the ability to scroll through your Friend’s List more quickly by pressing Left or Right on both the Circle Pad and the D-Pad.

There’s no word yet on whether these features will be included in the larger firmware update coming later this month, but I’d be surprised if they weren’t.
