Nintendo Network for Nintendo Wii U and 3DS

You probably already heard of this but Nintendo is getting the Nintendo Network this year for Wii U and 3DS. And that... is apparently mimicking XBox Live which Sony has been doing for sometime themselves... yeah well better late than never.

Plus sides?
- Full 3DS games for sale
Means you don't have to run down to the nearest well sticked Target or Gamestop to get 3DS games... but you'll probably have to snap up $50 VISA Gift Cards just for one $40-$50 gzme... and then you'll need to drop coin on a bigger SD card of 8GB or higher.

I'm already researching that, so stay tuned for that once I find an affordable 8GB or 16GB SD card for your 3DS.

- Premium DLC including Pay for Download (PFDLC) content. Both of which is already on its way, starting with free downloadable demos and paid dlc with Theatrhythm Final Fantasy (Japan) and Fire Emblem 3DS.

- The end of Friend Codes
That doesn't bode well for the original DS by the way... does this mean the DS to DSi's days are numbered? Who can say. But if you are not a fan of Friend Codes its good news for you and the future of online multiplayer gaming on the 3DS.

Well more on that as bews comes in, stay tuned.

Turned in my Nintendo Hawaiiana content

I actually got my stuff in early this month, in 5 days early. Not bad.

Next month I'm working on the following for AroundHawaii.com.

Article - Dissecting the 3DS Circle Pro attachment (3DS)
Review - Content TBD. Presently looking at several possibilties depending on how my inquiry with Nintendo's PR dept turns out. Stay tuned.

Already beginning to script 3DS Life Episode 14 right now as I lay out and assemble Episode 13.

January 2012 featuring Dr. Mario Express and Kirby's Dreamland (Game Boy)
February 2012 (games TBA)

Demos
Mario and Sonic at the 2012 London Olympics

3DS Life Update

To get back on track 3DS Life will be slowly reloaded every Thursday starting with Episodes 0 to 2.

Hope to have Episode 13 (NEW) out next week February 2nd.

Stay tuned for updates.

3DS Life Update

Abit of a delay on restoration, but 3DS Life should start coming back as of Friday knock on wood.

Sent a specific request to Nintendo along with the general info request... now the wait begins. Updates coming soon.

Well do some podcast and reviewing scripting to finish the day off.

Submitting info request to Nintendo

Guess in theory I can fire off a request for each individual item for review or interview inquiey or whatnot, but first thing I tried is to get general information... save on firing off multiple inquiries on reviewing this, or interview pertaining that... stay tuned for updates as I wait for a reply to my inquiry. Fingers crossed.

No Updates Today (Day 4)

Short work day. Today updating Henshin Up Classics and putting up PSP DLC Life. Tomorrow should be the start of restorations of 3DS Life. Stay tuned for updates.

Tuesday, January 24, 2012

No Work Today (Day 3)

Due to the inability to get PC time today no work was done.

Knock on wood 3DS Life's archives begins going up Thursday, wrapping up by the weekend's end finishing up the re archiving... knock on wood.

Stay tuned for updates.

Podcast Reconstrction Day 2 End

Day 2 ends and no progress made here... mostly since we are down to 3DS Life.

Tomorrow should begin the restoration of 3DS Life. Stay tuned for details tomorrow.

Podcast Restoration Day 2

Day 2 of the podcast restorations... but we are down to 3DS Life and that'll be last... so maybe 1-2 days conservatively before 3DS Life begins to get converted, and some episodes might get split into 2 parts... we'll see. Updates as they come along. Stay tuned.

In the meantime we are scouting for a new file sharing site to go to next should, heaven forbid, we need to. What is now the new heir apparent after the fall of Megaupload? Let us know.

End of Podcast Restorations Day 1

Day 1 ends with two series getting back on their feet linkwise.

Day 2 we continue with Digital Scribbles and PSP DLC Life next up.

The next thing here is 3DS Life, wrapping up the archives restoration. Stay tuned for updates tomorrow.

DS Life links restored

DS Life podcast links now restored. It was the shortest link list of the active casts so it didn't take too long... thankfully.

The longest list will be 3DS Life, and that'll be done last.

Wii U Life will be relaunched later this year with a fresh new Episode Zero once I confirm when I'm adding it to the reviews lists.

Stay tuned for updates as they come in.

New poll up (Theatrhythm Final Fantasy 3DS)

While working on DS Life and getting that back up I ran into news of a second 3DS game with paid DLC... well, Nintendo did promise last year to go with more premium content this year... so there you go.

Poll is on the right side. In the meantime should be wrapping up the DS Life restoration soon. Stay tuned.

Podcast Restoration Day 1

We finally kick off restoring the archives. Switched to mediafire, going to use rapid share for backup once things are rolling along normally.

Right now working on Equestria This Week but next is DS Life, a short little update. Stay tuned for updates.

Podcast Reconstruction Day Minus 1

In the aftermath of the destruction of Megaupload by the nefarious forces of the Dept. of Injustice (probably a branch office of the Injustice League of America), I'll be taking the next so many days to reload casts and set up a new cast schedule.

The main body of work begins Sunday (January 22nd) but for now here is what will be going on.

New casts (knock on wood) every Thirsday. The series that will go on will be...

3DS Life (next episode 13)
DS Life (next episode 3)
Wii U Life (next episode Zero once they announce when it's coming)

I hope to have the archives up again with a new file sharer by Monday at the latest. Stay tuned for updates as they come in.

Contacting Nintendo's Media Relations

Since the only thing that can happen is they tell me no I am gathering up all my info to present their media relations people concerning...

- Press releases
- Review material requests
- Interview requests (Media Relations)

The info I'm gathering is with my 3DS Life podcast and work with Around Hawaii. Updates as things roll along. Stay tuned.

Nintendo 3DS Demo Update

Abit of an update on upcoming demos, thanks to IGN.

Now - Resident Evil Revealations
1/26 - Mario and Sonic at the 2012 London Olympic Games
TBA - Metal Gear Solid Snake Eater 3D and Rayman Origins

Nintendo of America announces that they will update demos "periodically"... so much for hoping they'd catch up with Japan faster than "eventually" if ever. Oh well, 3DS Episode 14 will at least feature RE Revelations and Mario & Sonic 2012 London demos at any rate.

Stay tuned for updates.

3DS Life Episode 14 Update

Just started laying out Episode 13 and already we have an update for Episode 14.

Taking a break from the reviews of the Game Boy Advance Ten to get caught up on new stuff, including more Nintendo coin traded games and the first free demos on the 3DS... nice to see Nintendo of America is getting caught up to Nintendo of Japan if only slowly, they still have way more demos than we do on the 3DS.

So far here is what we're covering on Episode 14. Updates to come.

Dr. Mario Express
Kirby Dreamland Game Boy
Resident Evil Revelations Demo (*)

(*) - Hopefully the demo takes into account that most likely the player does NOT yet have the Circle Pro attachment added onto his or her 3DS yet.

More updates to come as more demos become available for pre-review. Stay tuned.
