Nintendo 3DS Announced – DS Successor

Nintendo have announced today that the successor to the Nintendo DS will be called the ‘Nintendo 3DS’. This won’t be just another version of the DS, but a new console entirely. It will have full 3D functionality without the need of special 3D glasses or accessories, and will be completely compatible with previous DS and DSi games.

The 3DS is also thought to believe (though not 100% confirmed) that it will have high detailed graphics (possibly the equivalent of the Gamecube, as the patten goes) and the possibility of a motion sensing device. With the success of the Wii, it would be silly not to. It is also said that it will utilise the Nvidia Tegra 2, which would be sweet.

The Nintendo 3DS is set to be released during Nintendo’s next financial year, between April 2010 and March 2011. Could this mean a pre-Christmas release? More details are due to be unveiled at this year’s E3, on June 15th.

I don’t know about everyone else, but I am sure excited about this. Let’s just hope it is more successful than the Virtual Boy ended up.

Wii System update 4.0

The new update for Wii System Menu has been released, and now stands at version 4.0. This update includes a new SD channel, allowing the use of (down)loading Virtual Console games straight to and from your SD card. It now also allows support for SDHC cards (up tp 32gb, instead of the 2gb limit), meaning that loads of VC games can be stored. Additionally, Nintendo have released an update for the Virtual Console, called the Virtual Console Arcade; allowing for extra arcade titles to be downloaded. The current available games include: Gaplus, Mappy, Starforce and The Tower of Druaga, with other titles coming soon. These titles will cost between 500-600 Wii points to purchase.

To get the update, simply turn on your Wii and go to your Wii System Settings. Scroll to last page and click on Wii Update, and let it do its stuff. You will need to make sure that you have an Internet connection however. It may take a good 5-10 minutes to update also, depending on your connection and Nintendo’s servers – it took mine a while to update.

You can find more information on Nintendo’s website, Here.
