And in it, a bunch of stuff was announced and shown
- Super Mario Maker is getting a 3DS conversion. It looks similar, but sadly has somewhat broken online support -- the only online modes ar the 100 Mario Challenge or pre-selected levels Nintendo allows, you cannot type in a code and play any compatible stage. There is no excuse for breaking Mario Maker like this; yes, I'll surely get this as I really want to play Mario Maker, but it's a bad version of the game! Nintendo's excuse basically sounds like it is 'but you can share levels locally', but as someone who does not live in Japan, who cares? Outside of Japan we need online support, not near-useless local trading and StreetPass. I've never used StreetPass and doubt I ever will. This isn't the first time Nintendo has released 3DS games with somewhat broken online support, either... it's incredibly frustrating to see them not care about people who don't live in Japan, which is the message they send with moves like this. There is no technical reason for the 3DS version to not be allowed to play any compatible stage! I could understand if some levels wouldn't work because of the lesser hardware, but that is a very solvable problem.
- The best Nintendo DS game, Picross 3D, is finally getting its sequel Picross 3D 2 released in the West. I've been waiting for this! Sadly, while Europe and Japan get this game as a physical release, NoA continues being annoying by releasing this digital only. I'd REALLY rather have a physical copy of this instead of having to make room on a Micro SD card... :( Everyone else gets it on cards, Nintendo! Why not us? Getting it in some form is far better than nothing, of course, but still that's disappointing.
Additionally:
- New 2.5d Pikmin game coming to 3DS next year; it looks fun, like Pikmin but crossed with a platformer.
- Poochy & Yoshi's Wooly World announced, for early next year. It's a port of the Wii U game, with some added levels starring Poochy the dog.
- New Pokemon of course
- The New 3DS XL has a new color available in the US
- There are also some new mini StreetPass games. I don't care much.
- And this was announced several days ago, but 5 3DS games and a couple of Wii U games have been added to Nintendo Selects, which means lower prices for those titles. None definitely interest me though, I think.
(Oh yes, and it sounds like the 3DS will probably be supported into 2018, so it's not being discontinued soon, as far as game releases go.)
