Nintendo have announced (well, there's a page for it in the store) the first "app" for 3DS in Japan, "Recochoku", a music download service. No idea if this means the tap has been opened and we can expect to see Facebook, Youtube, etc or not.

March 25th and Nintendo still haven't released Nintendoji to the eStore. I don't think there are any other gold/platinum Club Nintendo Japan members about, but I just wanted to vent (the release date they gave back in December was "March 2013")

Doug Dinsdale posted:poor screen switching mechanics, lack of compelling reasons to play, etc. These two are what got to me the most. Sadly I bought it full price which was a horrible mistake - a month or so later there was the Level-5 sale so I got Crimson Shroud / Rental Bukiya de Omasse for the same 800 yen (Nintendo Japan really need to sort their sales out - other than the Level 5 sale / Densha Ningen 1+2 sale they've merely had a handful of games at 100 yen off for a week or so which is terrible compared to Nintendo US/EU)

I went through 4 or 5 Nintendo Zone hot spots (lots of chain coffee shops / pubs!) a few hours ago and not one street pass! I hope that it's just that I was just the first person in my area to be out and about with updated firmware, and not that this is going to be some sort of weird complex cluster-gently caress of a thing to do (but with Nintendo, going by past performance who knows?)

Nintendo of Japan had a mini-update today and it looks like the Youtube update is completely separate from the system update (as in, they said Youtube would launch mid-November which to me pretty much means "any day now" but next month for the system update)

PaletteSwappedNinja posted:(They remade FFL2/SaGa 2 for DS a few years back, in case you didn't know. JP-only, but there's a full English translation patch, so you can play the game on real hardware using a flashcart.) My wife picked this up on her last trip back home and while she played it for a fair while she was constantly complaining that it was such an accurate remake as to be horribly dated systems-wise, so it's maybe worth keeping that in mind.

There's been a constant stream of idiots who feel the need to defend Nintendo all the time, no matter how dumb a decision they make. People have only been excited for Miiverse under the theory that it would be an update that also introduced a proper account system, or the beginnings of one, rather than the lovely friend code system we've been lumbered with. Unfortunately, due to the fact that Japanese parents don't seem to give enough of a gently caress if their daughters are selling their bodies for money or not, most of the useful features we were hoping for have been pulled from the 3DS Miiverse, but at least there's now a clear path for people to be able to regain their games if a 3DS is lost/stolen now.

And "underage girls may use it to arrange sex for money" has hosed over pretty much every internet service in Japan with UGC - it's one of the big reasons for the collapse in popularity of Mixi amongst other things.

The codes will be mailed to the email address used to register your NNID, and will go out in February. quote:-Chibi Robo: Photo Finder (3DS); Chibi Robo game with an AR mechanic that utilises the 3DS' camera. Out January 9 in NA, demo coming "soon". (Wasn't mentioned on the NOE press release.) Hopefully this means they'll get the puzzle page too - it's one of 3 that I can't get pink pieces for because not even the other 2 or 3 Japanese 3DSes floating around where I live (going by streetpass notifications for Fantasy Life Link / Tomodachi Collection) don't have them either (Dalmatia sports, the free-to-play dog-fronted baseball game, and Monster Hunter 4 are the others)

Dehry posted:US and Europe are offline at the same time, but going down at 9PM is better than 1PM. Unless something has changed, thanks to Nintendo of Europe's decision to base themselves in Germany AND their over-conservative implementation of the loving insane German laws to do with the internet, it means that you can't look at any info about / download any content related to games with a rating higher than PEGI 12 (I think you can download PEGI 12 games still right?) so it really depends on what it is you are trying to do. Box of Bunnies posted:This particular incident is doing a pretty good job of showing how much of an afterthought we are, though. You could perhaps even describe it as Nintendo's Gallipoli... RMZXAnarchy posted:I thought they took down Pokemon Bank in Japan though? Yep - nowhere is getting an amazing deal out of this (though it does seem that the west coast of the US and Australia are getting the worst deal) - if it weren't for the fact this is a Japanese company, and Nintendo at that, I'd assume this was a colossal fuckup that would be leading to heads rolling but I can't imagine there will be any fall-out. ookiimarukochan fucked around with this message at 10:58 on Dec 28, 2013 |

I don't know when they flipped the switch but Nintendoji and Advance Wars DS download codes, previously only available as platinum / gold member awards for Club Nintendo Japan in 2012/2013 are now available for 500 points/800 points on Club Nintendo Japan. The fact they're opening up sale could point to a release overseas?

Do they still do the thing where you can't access any information at all on the eShop about PEGI 18 titles until after 11PM German time? Because that's the dumbest implementation of a dumb law that I've ever heard of.
