Nintendo Direct Australia – 24 September, 2014

NEW Nintendo 3DS coming to Australia and New Zealand November 21st

There’ll be 2 versions of this new console, the NEW Nintendo 3DS and the NEW Nintendo 3DS XL.
amiibo compatibility, better 3D, longer battery life, larger screens, and more!

Comparison to the 3DS and 3DS XL

 while the XL will have the same screen size as the existing one, the regular NEW 3DS will have an upper screen of 3.88 inches, and a lower screen of 3.33 inches, Nintendo explains that it is 1.2 times larger than the one found on the original 3DS.
Both New 3DS’s will come with better 3D that recognizes your eyes so it fixes it to your vewing, it’s sensible to light, so when it’s darker your screen will lower its brightness, on a bright room, it’ll get brighter. It also has faster loading time, such as when downloading games on the eShop.
Additionally, it’s been said that not only will it play existing 3DS games, there’ll be games exclusively made for it and also, games that’ll come out for the 3DS will have additional features such as better graphics and faster loading time.
It is worth mentioning that these improvements will not happen with existing 3DS titles.

New Features

Both consoles will be capable of reading your NFC amiibo figures, tough if you have the current 3DS, XL, or 2DS, an Add-On hardware will come out for existing 3DS consoles.

The regular New 3DS will have exchangeable cover plates which can be bought separately, but it is worth mentioning that the New 3DS XL does not support this feature.
Both consoles will feature 2 new additional shoulder buttons and a C-Stick, which functions as a second Analog Stick.
It was mentioned that neither system will come with an A/C charger, but all existing DSi and 3DS family chargers are compatible, plus, a new charging cradle was announced for $14.95 AUD

Nintendo 125th Anniversary

Happy Birthday Nintendo!

The Big N’s 125th Anniversary is no small feat for the gaming industry, granted, they’ve not always been about video games, but It’s interesting to note that they’ve always been on the entertainment market, whether we talk about their Hanafuda cards, toy lines, they’ve always been there in the industry.

Massive icons such as Legend of Zelda, Donkey Kong, Metroid, Kirby, and specially Super Mario, who ranks among the most famous characters in the world, in some regions even more so than Mickey Mouse.
Among their most important names are Gunpei Yokoi, Fusajiro Yamauchi, and legendary Shigeru Miyamoto.
Here’s for many more years to come!

Assassin’s Creed Chronicles: China Revealed

The Game will be Settled in 16th Century China

In AC Chroncicles: China, you’ll be Assassin Shao Jun, longtime AC fans will probably remember her from Assassin’s Creed: Embers, an animated movie where she asks for training from Legendary Assassin Ezio Auditore.

Ubisoft explains that the game will take place after she returns to Beijing after the events of Embers, where she finds herself the last Assassin of the Chinese Brotherhood, and she’ll start a hunt after those who betrayed her and the brotherhood.
The game will have 2.5D gameplay, and as for now a download-only title, though it is unknown if it will come out to handheld systems or to which home consoles other than those who offer the Assassin’s Creed Unity Season Pass, it will definitely appeal to fans of the “Metroidvania” genre or those who enjoyed the likes of Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate or Metroid: Other M.
