Nintendo 3DS Message Board older than one year ago

#nintendo Nintendo just announced two new versions of the 3DS XL handheld, both currently slated for release in Japan only. Which is deeply upsetting, because they're amazing. More »

#3ds On November 1, Nintendo is releasing a black color Nintendo 3DS XL for ¥18,900. The color will also be available as part of a limited edition Monster Hunter pack, Nintendo announced today via YouTube. More »

#nintendo With some clever casting and selective image capturing/gif-making on the part of nerds, Osaka-based reporter and model Aya Shibata recently became a uniquely Japanese sex symbol for Nintendo. More »

#donkeykong Here's the official video announcement for a new promotion Nintendo is running this fall. More »

#donkeykong If you're in the United States, own a Nintendo 3DS and want Donkey Kong: Original Edition, all you have to do is... More »

#watchthis The road to one million coins in New Super Mario Bros. 2 can be daunting. Maybe you've given up by now. Well it's time to get back on track, champ. Let Kotaku reader Slider show you how to earn 30,000 coins in two minutes all without leaving your couch. (Sorry about the video quality.) More »

The Denpa Men: They Came By Wave is a new dungeon RPG by Genius Sonority, in which you use augmented reality-type exploration to find little guys in the environment, who then form your party. It's cute, quirky, and available on the 3DS eShop today. There's a demo if you'd like to try it out.

Also out on 3DS is Konami's Quarth, a fascinating Game Boy puzzle game that never seemed to pick up a large audience in America.

#nintendo Japan is getting a new 3DS XL color: "Blue x Black". It will join the other available 3DS XL colors in Japan (Red x Black, Silver x Black, White, and Pink x White). Priced similarly at ¥18,900, it will go on sale October 11 in Japan. More »

#projectxzone Project X Zone is the mega-crossover game from Capcom, Namco-Bandai, and Sega starring a staggering list of characters—ranging from Street Fighter to Devil May Cry, Tekken to Tales of Vesperia, and Space Channel 5 to Valkyria Chronicles 3 (among many others). And today at the Tokyo Game Show, we at Kotaku got to spend some hands-on time with it. More »

#capcom EX Troopers is an anime take on the world of Lost Planet. There's a 3DS version and a PS3 version. Today, I played both. More »

#nintendo Nintendo has once again made an add-on second Circle Pad for the 3DS. And, you know what, it's not half bad. Actually, it seems like the Circle Pad Pro for the XL could be pretty good. More »

#nintendo Yesterday, Nintendo revealed that a larger circle pad add-on was headed to the 3DS XL. Here is a first look at the new Circle Pad Pro for the 3DS XL. More »

#nintendo We knew the peripheral was coming to Nintendo's new handheld, but until today we hadn't seen what it looked like. Now we have. Yup. Still hideous. More »

#professorlayton Professor Layton's adventures are coming to an end, apparently. And they announce that fact proudly in the demo for Professor Layton and the Legacy of The Advanced Civilization A (レイトン教授と超文明Aの遺産). More »

#shinmegamitensei A month back, the trailer leaked for the next, 3DS-bound installment of Atlus' beloved RPG series. Then it went away. But it's back now, shinier and more full of the sweeping mythological feel that the SMT series—which spawned the wildly popular Persona offshoot—is known for. Expect to hear more about Shin Megami Tensei IV at the Tokyo Game Show later this week. More »

#nintendo With all eyes on Nintendo's reveal of the Wii U price and release date for North America this morning, a gem like Endgame Studios' Fractured Soul for the 3DS eShop might get lost in the shuffle, but not here. More »

#professorlaytonvsaceattorney Never since the OJ murder trials has there been such a court room dream team. Professor Layton from the Professor Layton series, and Phoenix Wright from the Ace Attorney series will team up in the upcoming Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney scheduled for release in Japan on November 29th. More »

#pokemon According to Japan's Corocoro magazine, the latest Pokémon Mystery Dungeon, Pokémon Mystery Dungeon: Magna Gate and The Maze of Infinity will be out on the 3DS this winter in Japan. More »

#codeofprincess We've not written much about Atlus' Code of Princess, and that's partly my fault. I saw the online-enabled co-op and competitive action role-playing game at E3 earlier this year, and forgot. I know, let's blame Persona! More »

#phoenixwright No objections here. The folks at Pocket Gamer say Capcom has told them Ace Attorney 5, recently confirmed by Famitsu as a 3DS release starring Phoenix Wright himself, is indeed getting an English release. More »

#fluidity Seen in a backroom at PAX East last weekend, here's Fluidity: Spin Cycle, a sequel to 2010's solid WiiWare game Fluidity. It's out later this year as a 3DS eShop exclusive. You won't want to play it on the subway. People will look at you funny. More »

#adventuretime Adventure Time—the lovable, adventurous Cartoon Network series penned by mastermind artist and writer Pen Ward—has blown up to staggering popularity. Search for the show and its characters online and you'll find a mess of fan-made renditions and mash-ups and even new inventions (like the non-existent baby product of Jake—a dog who can stretch to any shape or length—and his girlfriend, the rainbow-colored Lady Rainicorn).

#senrankagura There are numerous companies that churn out energy drinks. Some of them even market their beverages to gamers as "fuel". But how many video games have energy drinks designed to help you get it up after your first round of sex? 3DS game Senran Kagura Burst does, that's for sure. More »

#castlevania How are we feeling about the Castlevania: Lords of Shadow: Mirror of Fate these days? The game played well when I tried it last spring. I think a side-scrolling Castlevania on the 3DS XL with the 3D slider pushing the backgrounds beyond the system, should be good. More »

Level-5 has two mystery games in its Tokyo Game Show lineup this year. Two "coming soon" blanks show up in the list of ten games on display at this September's event, alongside news that Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney will be playable! It exists!

Also playable: Layton Brothers Mystery Room, Inazuma Eleven Go 2, Fantasy Life, Danbooru Senki W, and Professor Layton and the Legacy of Advanced Civilization A. The updated 3DS versions of the first three Inazuma Eleven games, and the mobile Inazuma Eleven Atsumeyoze! will be video only.
