Feels like the New 3DS was only just announced the other week, but it's already available in Japan. Nintendo has been busy uploading videos like this one which details how to swap out the system's face plates. Interestingly, the stylus can be used to pry them open. Neat design!
There are also a ton of videos showing the various 3DS themes.
1080p. Ten-eighty-pee. If you have been paying any attention to video game news over the past year or two, you've probably seen the term pop up quite a bit, in everything from technical breakdowns to E3 press conferences. It's Today's Big Buzzword.
Ready to go back to Ferelden and cast all sorts of butt-kicking enchantments on your enemies? First, you'll need to check if your silicone cauldron has the goods to run BioWare's next fantasy adventure.
Modder extraordinaire and part-time digital saint Durante has come to our rescue once again. This time he's set his sights on Square Enix's lackluster PC port of Final Fantasy XIII by releasing an updated version of his GeDoSaTo tool which includes a custom plugin for the game allowing much higher resolutions and more expansive graphical options. You can see the results for yourself in the gallery.
Even if you don't plan on using it to polish up Square Enix's halfhearted effort at catering to PC gamers, GeDoSaTo is an exceptionally valuable tool to have on hand in any instance.
Durante offers a brief but concise explanation of what the program does on his blog:
According to the latest issue of Weekly Young Jump, a Terra Formars game is headed for 3DS, for lots of maximum roach-killing action. It's like a can of Raid, but for your Nintendo handheld. The game, tentatively titled Terra Formars: Akaki Hoshi no Gekito (Fierce Battle on the Crimson Planet), will follow Shokichi and the rest of the humans as they exterminate the Terra Formars themselves on Mars. In short, it sounds sweet. And it's from FuRyu, who's responsible for several other titles based on anime series.
In case you're not hip to the Terra Formars jive, it's an anime series you should absolutely be watching, with humanoid cockroaches hanging uot on Mars. But dig this -- they were the cockroaches that humans sent in 2577 in order to colonize the planet, along with some mold. Humanity went up to check out what was going on, and was met with these freaky roach people. So, that's disgusting. But awesome. Because you get to watch humanity's warriors fight off enormous roach people, and where else would you get to see that?
The game doesn't have a release date just yet, but will debut around 5,980 yen (~$55) when it comes out. It's gonna be the next Attack on Titan when it gets big here, I bet. Calling it now.
