The first game to do this will be the classic Dreamcast virtual pet sim Seaman. Which classic franchise would you like to see Nintendo revive on the Nintendo 3DS?


Square Enix has posted the first look at all the goodies Japanese Nintendo 3DS owners will be able to get if they purchase the Kingdom Hearts 3D 10th Anniversary Box set. The special collectors edition box set which retails for ¥15,000 includes Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distance, Kingdom Hearts 358/2 Days and Kingdom Hearts Re:Coded, along with a protective cover and twelve post cards.

Game Freak director Junichi Masuda has told Pokemon fans to watch the next Pokemon Smash for possible information on the sequel to Pokemon Black & White. One Pokemon fan asked him, “Please tell us some information about Black and White’s sequel,” to which he replied, “I can’t answer that yet. Well, I can say to watch the next Pokemon Smash.”

2.- Apple has approved a Pokemon game which doesn’t actually include any content on the App Store. The ‘game’ which is titled Pokémon Pocket Edition and retails for $5 hasn’t actually got any gameplay, and is just a gallery of Pokémon photos from the games.

Numerous consumers have purchased the title only to find out that there’s no gameplay and are greeted more often than not with the application crashing The developer behind the application has written the following misleading information about Pokémon Pocket Edition::

“Marking the Pokémon series’ glorious debut on the App Store, Pokémon lets you verse and play as everyone’s favorite Pokémon, Pikachu, around awesome lands.”
“Using the stylus to control your favourite Pokémon, zip across land and sea—even through the air—on a mad dash for the finish line”.

I’ve just been informed via Twitter that UK video game retailer GAME are currently switching The Last Story limited edition copies to the standard edition, and they aren’t actually notifying people that they’re doing it. Twitter user James Duckett only found out that they had changed the pre-order when he logged into his account and found that the two limited edition copies he ordered had been downgraded to standard edition. GAME has pulled the limited edition version of The Last Story from their website.

3.- Nintendo has announced that the Nintendo 3DS is the fastest selling console ever in Japan. The Nintendo 3DS sold five million units in just fifty-two weeks according to Nintendo. Sales for the Nintendo 3DS were rather lacklustre initially, but as soon Nintendo slashed the recommended retail price and released games such as Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 sales for the system soared.

Nintendo Europe has announced via a press release that they’re bringing out a demo for Nintendogs + Cats on the Nintendo 3DS. Nintendogs + Cats was a launch game for the Nintendo 3DS, so it would appear that Nintendo are still keen to push the title. Nintendogs + Cats demo will be available on the Nintendo 3DS eShop on Thursday and is a free download.

There's a chance Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor's Edge may no longer be a launch title for the Wii U, but it's still coming to the platform, and you can check after the break for five minutes of footage.

4.- V-Jump magazine has revealed that the “Radiant Garden” world in Kingdom Hearts 3D will be making an appearance in the game. Axel, Zexion, and Lexaeus will all be appearing on Radiant Garden as Lea, Ienzo, and Aeleus. The world based on Tron: Legacy will be called “The Grid” and will feature characters such as Sam Flynn, Kevin Flynn, and Quorra.

You will also be be able to create Dream Eaters by following certain recipes in the game and unlock new Dream Eaters by using special AR cards, one of which will be included in a Kingdom Hearts 3D book set to release in Japan. There are scans after the break.

There are new scans from various Japanese magazines that show off scenes from Dragon Quest Monsters,Harvest Moon, and Kingdom Hearts 3D.
