Dae asks: 3DS

daeasksnew1 Dae asks: 3DS

Keep in mind that the applications for the Jungle Games are going to close very soon, so look at this before you do anything else.

Nintendo has announced yet another color for the 3DS, and it’s been more than a year since it released, so we’re taking this opportunity to ask you about your general Nintendo love. Who has  a 3DS as of now? Who is going to buy one soon? Who is still reluctant? Has your opinion changed in the past year? And for those who have a 3DS: what games have you bought and what are your favorite choices?

I bought one at launch day, and received three games as gift. Those were Nintendogs, Street Fighter and Pilotwings. I sucked at Street Fighter, got bored with Nintendogs and raged at Pilotwings, leaving my 3DS gathering dust until Ocarina of Time released. It was the only game I really wanted my 3DS for and I enjoyed it thoroughly. A few months later I downloaded my Ambassador games and got Mario Kart for Christmas, but I played those games barely, and I didn’t buy anything else since then. Yet, I don’t regret my early purchase, although I don’t like the games that are coming out in this half of the year. I’m patient enough to wait for Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem and Paper Mario, even if they are coming out in 2013.

So, hop towards the comments and get commenting. Don’t turn it in a fanboy flamethread, as I’ll be standby to make sure everyone knows that the Game Gear is still the best handheld ever.

Black White 2 Second Trailer and Nintendo Direct Snippet (upd1)

The first video is the new trailer from the Nintendo Direct that we gave a live report on in the post below for Pokémon Black 2 and White 2. The second is a snippet from Nintendo direct showing the two new applications for the 3DS; the National Pokédex Pro and the Pokémon AR Searcher. The first one speaks for itself and the second one is an Augmented Reality game that lets you use the 3DS camera to catch Pokémon and then send them to Black2 and White 2. Naturally this has a lot of potential! Added a third video of the European Nintendo President confirming the ‘Pokédex Pro’ and ‘AR searcher’ for Europe. Not that there was any doubt, but its nice to know! A US announcement is no doubt right round the corner!

Make sure to stick with pokejungle for Pokémon Smash later on! We’ll be doing the usual live translations for you all!

3DS Pokémon Game Coming?

A Japanese gaming site has posted that Creatures Inc. (Pokémon game development company) has posted a job listing for 3D CG Pokemon model and motion artist. This could mean that a 3DS game is in the planning stages. Of course, the game could be for the Wii or even Wii U as well.

Also: Famitsu thing was fake. Apparently some sites didn’t look into whether or not the info was real. NL had warned me from the outset, but I think I mentioned it in a “ps”.

New Nintendo 3DS Color Coming!

icewhite ds 300x229 New Nintendo 3DS Color Coming!

To Japan at least.  This “Ice White” 3DS will hit shelves on November 3rd and be the fifth color to be released.  Personally, I’m very happy with my red 3DS.  Comments on this color?  What’s your favorite color of 3DS?

ps- If you haven’t already bought a 3DS…

 

PJ Plays: Pokemon Rumble Blast

pjplays rumble1 300x224 PJ Plays: Pokemon Rumble Blast

Ah! A new addition of ‘PJ Plays’, the long neglected column that unceremoniously disappeared after Pokemon Mystery Dungeon bored the hell out of pokejungle! It has returned, however, since I have obtained a Japanese 3DS (beautiful flame red, no cost to me as my boyfriend gave it to me) and a copy of Pokemon Rumble Blast.  Right now I’m in the third town, West Town, with the first two being Toy Town and East Town.  You can see my Leavanny at the fountain above.

I’ll get more into the game in the next article, but for now I just wanted to share a few thoughts in a bullet’d list (mostly because I have a sinus infection and need to wake up in 6 hours for work):

  • The 3D effect is not overly strong
  • Don’t get attached to your toys, you’re constantly replacing pokemon
  • Some toys have special bonuses, such as regenerative HP
  • I haven’t bothered to really understand the storyline
  • Lack of multiplayer seems like a real missed opportunity in this game.  Srsly.
Ideally I’d like to do the articles town by town, possibly starting with my experiences in ‘West Town’.  Since this isn’t in the “main series”, I’m sure reading about the experience is more valuable than any sort of drab guides or solid information at this point.  The 3DS region restriction means not many of my readers are probably playing right now.  I will use this game to pilot our new content pages so that PJN will once again be an information source and not just news blog.

ps- Anyone have a Chansey or Audino to get me back to full health?
