2011-05-16T13:00:00.001-04:00

Cave Story 3D confirmed for release on August 9th. The game will feature completely redone graphics and sound from the original game, and of course 3D.

3DS Update information(eShop coming June 6)

2011-05-12T15:01:00.000-04:00

Early today Nintendo finally gave a date for when they are going to release the update that will give us the Internet Browser, eShop, and other features. The release date is slightly later then they previously announced. But remember that the wait is going to be well worth it! *cough* Megaman Legends 3 Prototype...

This is what that had to say...
"A new system update for the hand-held Nintendo 3DS system will be available in North America the evening of June 6 Pacific time. By downloading the free update via a wireless broadband Internet connection, Nintendo 3DS users can enjoy new features and enhancements, including an Internet browser and access to the Nintendo eShop, where users can browse and purchase downloadable content."

DSi Update

2011-05-11T16:34:00.000-04:00

The DSi received a firmware update today. Nintendo hasn't said what its for but good chance its to prep the system for DSiWare transfers to your 3DS when the eShop gets launched later this month.

3DS eShop & More

2011-05-10T18:48:00.000-04:00

The 3DS eShop is expected to come out before the end of the month through a system update. Nintendo and Capcom has also said that Megeman Legends 3: Prototype will be available the same day. It will be a demo of Legends 3 that will show off a bunch of new features they have added to the series.

I will have a preview the day it's available.

UPDATE-Resident Evil

2011-05-10T18:43:00.000-04:00

According to the following trailer, Resident Evil will be coming out June 28. Also, Capcom as said that every copy of the Mercenaries 3D will come with a demo of Resident Evil Revelations.

And seeing that the trailer is in English, I am assuming this is the North American release date. Heck of a lot earlier than I expected.

Resident Evil: The Mercenaries Character Roster & Details

2011-05-09T20:29:00.000-04:00

If you are 3DS owner, I can lay down a safe bet your excited for RE: The Mercenaries 3D. It is the fast paced action RE game we've been all been waiting for.

As most of you may or may not know Capcom has already announced some characters. So far you can play as Chris and Claire Redfield, Jack Krauser, Hunk, Jill Valentine, and Albert Wesker. But today when I was watching the "Captivate Trailer" and when they were showing the character customization list I saw that there were 2 "?" space's on screen. Most likely one of them is going to be Leon, but who could the other one be? Supposedly its Barry Burton and Rebecca Chambers. Also its been said that Leon S. Kennedy, Ada Wong, Josh Stone, and Sheva Alomar will be added later as DLC.

On top of having custom weapons and melee sets, each character will be able to equipped 3 skills from a list of 30, giving you stronger melee attacks or herbs and health sprays have a better effect, etc.

The game is set to launch summer of 2011, but Capcom has stated that it will announce a firm release date soon.

Rumor!

2011-05-06T15:29:00.000-04:00

Well with all the rumors going on about Nintendo's new console, there is yet another one today. Supposedly the name for the console now is "FEEL".

But your better off just waiting until e3 for the final word right from Nintendo themselves.
