Nintendo 3DS Message Board older than one year ago

When it comes to horror games, The Legend of Zelda is not necessarily the first thing that comes to mind. Concept artist Nate Hallinan's creations are definitely going to change that. Above is his version of the Skulltula—there's nothing to be afraid of! Nothing at all!Read more...

The bait missed its target on DeviantART user Enigmasystem's Pokémon fanart, attracting a pretty huge Gyarados instead of those relaxing 'Karps. Even if it's wild, this Pokémon would have nice stats in-game.Read more...

Super Smash Bros. expands once again, this time with Ashley, who will appear in the Wii U version as an assist trophy. She hails from the WarioWare games, and probably didn't have enough moves to make a proper moveset for her. But hey, this might be a sneaky teaser for Wario, since he's not part of the roster yet.Read more...

Growing up is a scary thing. Tim and Alfredo reflect on 23 things that make them feel old as gamers.

This morning Nintendo surprised us with the announcement of Disney Magical World, which sounded like Animal Crossing with Disney characters, coming to the 3DS April 11. It's actually a port of this Japanese game, which did quite well for itself when it launched last August. Read more...

Being re-imagined as a wee chibi character isn't close to enough to make Persona 3's Mitsuru Kirijo any less of a badass, as evidenced by this new character trailer for the 3DS crossover game Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth.Read more...

Yoshi's New Island surfaces on the 3DS on March 14. The sequel to Super Nintendo classic Yoshi's Island has a lovely Friday release date now. Yoshi and bBaby Mario are playing middle men to February 28's Professor Layton and the Azran Legacy and the newly-announced Disney Magical World, releasing on 3DS April 11. Read more...

Americans aren't delicate! And they like a good cartoon butt as good as anyone else. Yet, Nintendo of America apparently removed cartoon butts from Chibi-Robo.Read more...

King Dedede, who is as bad as dudes get in the Kirby universe, is no stranger to the Smash Bros. series, having been in Brawl. He's back now in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and 3DS, only this time he's getting his ass kicked by the Wii Fit Trainer.Read more...

Just incase you didn't catch them in the press release...

A pair of demos also reached the 3DS eShop (Jump Trials Supreme, Chibi-Robo!: Photo Finder)

Gotta avoid 'em all! Damn these zombie Pokémon are suffering. Just look at that poor Weepinbell on top. Artist Daryl Hobson did a great job creating a collection of zombified Pokémon. Head over to his site for more and for a 2014 Zombie Pokedex.Read more...

Stand back, Romeo and Juliet. Here's an epic tale of teenage love, rejection, bad grammar, and Miis—all of which unfolds on the 3DS's Miiverse (Nintendo's version of a social network which lets you post to communities centered around games).Read more...

This morning Toys'R'Us locations across the U.S. start selling Rubble Rouser and Stink Bomb, the two Skylanders toys needed to 100% complete levels in a game released three months ago. What?Read more...

Some 3DS community members have found a way to get around the handheld's nefarious region-locking. Well done, all involved.Read more...

It's the kind of run Nintendo's been on lately, that even the company's one piece of good news - the growing success of the 3DS - has to get a punch in the guts.Read more...

An image that's been circulating since early last month when Square Enix's Bravely Default came out for European 3DS demonstrates how Japan's nearly naked 15-year-olds become Europe's slightly more sensibly dressed 18-year-olds. Read more...

Wailord steals the show on Ray Ray's montage from DeviantART, showing every single Pokémon and Mega Pokémon next to each other, drawn to scale.Read more...

The demo version of Square Enix's Bravely Default is live on the 3DS eShop. The demo includes an exclusive side quest not available in the full game when it ships February 7. Check out the rest of this week's Nintendo Download, including Dr. Luigi and Mega Man X2 for the Wii U, here. Read more...

Humans Optional: Remember that machine that dekuNukem built, which would find shiny Pokemon for you? Somehow, it's gotten even better. Now it requires no human input. It'll find and catch shiny Pokemon for you, in almost all situations. Hell, now it even breeds, names and clones Pokemon for you. Jesus.Read more...

That is one spectacular, buffed up Mewtwo sculpture, like something out of the XCOM games, or a live action Pokémon movie—not one of the cartoony monsters from a Nintendo game.Read more...

I have a weakness for the Famicom colour scheme. That bold crimson, the slightly tacky gold, it's an 80s Chinese restaurant, bad hotel lobby and classic Nintendo console, all rolled into two tones. Read more...

One of 2013's best surprises was the release of four unusual games for the Nintendo 3DS, all experimenting with a new style of multiplayer game little seen in the long history of interactive entertainment. The games were made by four Japanese studios, all overseen by Nintendo. Where did the games come from? Why were they made? And what's up with that 10-person StreetPass limit? Today, we have answers, straight from Nintendo HQ in Kyoto, Japan. Read more...

Another year, another Nintendo handheld packed with pornography under the Christmas tree. Last year it was a five-year-old and a used 3DS. This year it's an eight-year-old and a supposedly brand-new 3DS. Read more...

Chibi-fied characters from Persona 3 and 4 aren't the only things to drool over in the latest trailer for Persona Q: Shadow of the Labyrinth for the 3DS — there's a little Vincent in there as well. Read more...

With Kingdom Hearts I.5 HD Remix out and II.5 HD Remix on the way next year, there's nothing left to re-tell as we prepare for the eventual release of Kingdom Hearts III. Oh wait, yes there is.Read more...

You can lose yourself easily in Pixiv artist 猫鴉's gallery, where every single Pokémon got touched by evil, and became really unique and serious.Read more...
