3DS News: Noontime November 13, 2013

  • Watch the Nintendo Direct here for all sorts of good stuff. Details are as follows:
  • Miiverse is coming to 3DS in a December update. It will be available at any time, like the Internet Browser.
  • An account system, shared with the Wii U, is coming to the 3DS. So far, it only really lets you share funds between the two eShops though.
  • Go to Instagram for 15 second bits of Zelda footage.
  • More Zelda stuff: Irene the witch acts as a warp system.
  • More Majora's Mask references exist than just the mask in the shop.
  • There is also a Streetpass battle mode.
  • YouTube is coming to 3DS as an App.
  • Bravely Default and Professor Layton 6 arrive in America this February.
  • Mario Party: Island Tour has a decent looking story mode.
  • 3DS eShop sales will apparently be a regular thing, as detailed here.
  • Ace Attorney DLC is coming November 21.
  • Some of these eShop games are coming to the 3DS, all are for it and/or the Wii U.

Great Direct this time :)

^If you do that for a 3/5 Nintendo Direct, I wonder what would you do with a 5/5 one!


Actually, I was taking those notes during the actual direct, since I watched it only after the YouTube video went up.

What makes this a 3 on a scale from 1 to 5, or an average ND, is a combination of factors. First, we got good footage of known games, including some stuff that made Mario Party and Bravely Default in particular look more alluring. Plus, release dates are always welcome. Also, the account system is a welcome addition. However, the account system seems to be only half-baked, lacking cross-buy for example. No new games were shown. And there were entire minutes of the presentation where I didn't give a damn about what was being said, even as somebody who enjoyed Animal Crossing.

If Nintendo had a somewhat better version of the account system, introducing day one crossbuy in addition to everything else, that would have raised the score to a 4/5. So would a surprsing and interesting new game, a few Wii U release dates, or some amazing new social feature. But none of this happened. So Nintendo gets a 3/5. Not bad, but plenty of room to top it next month.



best news was probably the Pikmin 3 DLC and the 3ds update stuff. imo
