StreetPass update is awesome, they added so many new hats and features. StreetPass Quest II is great as well, it's going to take me ages to complete it and the same goes for the new Puzzels.

Yeah and those achievements should last a long while indeed. Succeeding at some seems to be completely based on luck rather than skill though, which is a disappointment :/.

Blaster Master and Pullblox 3D (looks awesome), and other new stuff on the eShop. The video recording promo nearly made me throw up, until I saw the brunette.

I bought Pullblox, I think it's a neat game, I really like the concept.

The video promo wasn't even filmed with the 3DS cameras.

False advertising... Must have been filmed with a 3DS Lite.

Yea, the video quality was well above.

IGN has some new Resident Evil: Revelations gameplay clips and info.

I'm thoroughly disappointed by the lack of demo's and GBA games, it's so lame how Nintendo are stretching this out till Christmas.

IGN gave a 9.5 to Pullblox

If anyone is interested it's made by Intelligent Systems, the same people who made Paper Mario, Advance Wars and Fire Emblem.

It's the first eShop game I actually want to buy.

I agree with that review, it's awesome.

Yeah I just downloaded it, it's so addictive. Well worth £5.40. 3D is used really well in the game.

REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- As some people hunker down for a long winter’s nap, Nintendo is getting things fired up. The first quarter of 2012 offers great new installments in popular franchises for both the Nintendo 3DS™ system and the Wii™ console. Nintendo has something for everyone, from family fun to three-dimensional adventure.

On the Nintendo 3DS system, Capcom’s Resident Evil� Revelations launches on Feb. 7. In a new chapter of the hit survival-horror franchise, players fight a new enemy and virus in 3D without the need for special glasses. METAL GEAR SOLID� 3D Snake Eater from Konami arrives in the first quarter of 2012. The game is a re-interpretation of METAL GEAR SOLID 3: Snake Eater, and offers a rich jungle world with customizable stealth and camouflage options. On March 23, the epic odyssey Kid Icarus™: Uprising soars into stores and lets players help the winged warrior Pit fight Medusa and her Underworld Army.

The Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS will also be busy with a variety of downloadable offerings. Dillon’s Rolling Western™ brings tower-defense strategy and touch-screen driven action to the Old West. Armadillo ranger Dillon defends pioneer villages against waves of attacking rock monsters using gun towers, defensive structures and his own exciting attack abilities. In Sakura Samurai: Art of the Sword™, players travel to ancient Japan and guide a young warrior as he battles waves of enemy soldiers. Players must identify the enemy’s attack, dodge and counter-attack with the mystical Sakura Sword to win the battle. The critically acclaimed VVVVVV and NightSky from Nicalis, mind-bending action of Mighty Switch Force from WayForward and immersive 3D visuals of Mutant Mudds™ from Renegade Kid™ round out a diverse selection of downloadable games.

Nintendo is also introducing an optional accessory that gives Nintendo 3DS owners a second analog stick to control compatible games. The Circle Pad Pro will launch in the United States on Feb. 7. It will be sold through GameStop stores and online at http://www.gamestop.com at a suggested retail price of $19.99. The Circle Pad Pro is a comfortable cradle that holds the Nintendo 3DS system while adding an analog Circle Pad on the system’s right side. The attachment also adds additional shoulder buttons to give it a feel more akin to traditional console controllers. It is designed as an optional accessory and is compatible with Resident Evil Revelations and METAL GEAR SOLID 3D Snake Eater.

On the Wii console, Rhythm Heaven™ Fever arrives on Feb. 13 at a suggested retail price of $29.99 in the United States. The game asks players to test their rhythm in more than 50 easy-to-learn, tough-to-master minigames to prove they’ve got the groove. Two weeks later on Feb. 27, PokéPark™ 2: Wonders Beyond lets players take on the role of Pikachu™ and his Pals ��" Oshawott™, Snivy™ and Tepig™ ��" as they try to make it through PokéPark and discover the secrets of a mysterious new world. On March 11, Mario™ and friends reunite for a new party game adventure in Mario Party™ 9, which introduces new game-play elements to the series such as boss battles and vehicular travel across a wide assortment of stages.

Kid Icarus: Uprising

Inazuma Eleven 2 is being released in France on DS.

I'm disappointed with the eShop line up, but a release of La Mulana on WiiWare will make up for it.

Wow, that's an excellent selection of games right there! Minish Cap? Awesome. Fire Emblem: The Sacred Stones? Not as awesome as Fire Emblem 7 but still great.

I'm actually looking forward to playing all of those games. Only played three of them, so this is great.

I have six of them, but I'm glad I can play them on my 3DS now, especially Yoshi's Island which should look great with it's vibrant colours.

What an amazing list of games. I have 8 of them already but it's gonna be great to have them all on my 3DS.

Japans confirmed release date above, the rest is TBA.

The last lot arrived on the same day also.

Like many others, I already own most of those in cartridge format already (6 + Yoshi's Island which I have on SNES), but nice to be able to play some of them without the need to use the carts. I'm particularly glad about Mario vs DK and Kirby .

Considering I own none of these in cartridge form, the same as with the NES games, I am completely happy about being able to play these on my 3DS. Can't wait, especially because a lot of these games are new to me.

Don't shun me for not playing/owning a bunch of GBA games, a couple of people around here know why.

Btw, I posted as a guest earlier. No one has approved it yet, but it doesn't really matter now.

Just got a notification today that the Eurosport video service has been added. It puts an icon on the Home Menu which takes you to the eShop to download.

Size: 49 blocks.

This'll only appear if you've enable automatic download of new software in Internet Settings. Though it'll probably be available to download manually through eShop later today when it's updated.
