Nintendo sent along a retail Nintendo DSi XL, and it arrived today... with the smallest press release and fact sheet ever.
To give you an idea, I've taken a picture of it next to my four-month-old's foot. She's got tiny feet because, well, she's a baby. The ridiculous press release is about the same size as her foot. (Man, am I glad we had this baby before this thing arrived.) Yes, it's completely readable, but now I have a headache. Thanks, Nintendo.
I was able to gather some info I didn't know about the DSi XL, and maybe you didn't either. At its lowest brightness setting, this sucker will give you between 13 and 17 hours of play time. The screens are 4.2 inches a piece and... no seriously, my head hurts from reading this thing.
I'll have a full unboxing (it was, uh, messy) and hands-on impressions later, so stay tuned.
In a new Nintendo Direct, Nintendo's Satoru Iwata walks through details on Flipnote Studio 3D, the successor to the free animation application for DSi. As one would expect, the ability to doodle in 3D is indeed included and ... Beyond Nintendo's regular maintenance of its online services, the company will be going through a brief period of emergency maintenance for the Nintendo Network this week. If you experience any odd behavior over the next two ... Frogs are my favorite animal. Yep, that's what I'm choosing to focus on in today's issue of Nintendo Download, because this week is one of the weakest offerings yet, and it features tons of animal games. That's alright though... It's kind of a "meh" week for Nintendo Download fans, but it's far from worthless. Unchained Blades (which came out last year on the PSP in Japan, and this year in the US) leads the way today as the big full retail release on... Mega Man 1 is finally hitting the 3DS Virtual Console, as is Super Mario Bros.: The Lost Levels. Outside of those two classics, Fluidity: Spin Cycle is ready to go for the 3DS eShop, as is Johnny Impossible and Mahjong 3D - W... Things are kind of low key in this week's Nintendo Download, as there's a ton of old releases and some extremely dull new ones.
On the 3DS, you can grab Wario Land 2, escapeVektor, New Super Mario Bros. 2 DLC, Mario Tennis Op... Nintendo Download isn't looking bad this week, especially if you're a fan of Guild 01 and Chuck E. Cheese's.
In the portable arena, you can pick up Crimson Shroud (3DS eShop), Art of Balance TOUCH! (3DS eShop), Ninja Gaiden (... Even if nothing on offer this week is truly remarkable, the sheer volume of content is impressive in this week's Nintendo Download.
For the 3DS, you can pick up Scribblenauts Unlimited (3DS eShop), LEGO Lord of the Rings (3DS... Prepare to be disappointed this week if you have a Wii U -- the only offerings on the table are 3DS related, with no Wii U titles in sight. You can grab Aero Porter (eShop), Pac-Man (eShop VC), Invasion of the Alien Blobs! (D... It is Thanksgiving Day, that day we celebrate Christopher Columbus sailing to Nazareth in a gigantic turkey, and we are to be grateful for all the wonderful things that have happened at us over the course of our short, and ul... |
