Gamestop has also been reported to have updated its inventory list showing a release of April 3rd in the US. The Wiki page was also updated with several other sources reporting on the matter. Xenoblade is an action JRPG that was a huge success in Japan and later in Europe. There was some concern over the release of Xenoblade in the US, when Nintendo of America had its doubts of releasing it stateside. The game received fantastic scores from IGN, Cubed, Eurogamer. http://miiwiichat.com/article.php?id=12755 http://miiwiichat.com/article.php?id=12755#comment http://miiwiichat.com/article.php?id=12728 Wed, 05 Oct 2011 22:40:54 -0400 Player911 Sad news as one of my idols and founder of Apple Corp, Steve Jobs passed away today at the age of 56.

It instead has to do with my amazing wife who is in a contest to play a show at the 9.30 club here in Washington DC. I've never heard of it either but apparently it's a pretty premier place to play. By the way for those of you who don't know (all but 2 of you) my wife is a musician. All you have to do is go to this website and click on vote then type in your email and a username and then click on the 3 votes button for 3 votes, that simple and it only takes about 10 seconds. She is currently in 6th place and we aren't sure how many bands get to play so we want to get as high as we can to give us the best chance. Thank you so much and oh by the way she has promised to write ya'll a song if you do this for her. Thanks again. cheese (the dude that never comes here) #9 http://miiwiichat.com/article.php?id=12721 http://miiwiichat.com/article.php?id=12721#comment http://miiwiichat.com/article.php?id=12717 Mon, 19 Sep 2011 11:07:01 -0400 Player911 Today, Reed Hastings, Co Founder and CEO, of Netflix made an official statement declaring that Netflix will no longer deal with physical DVD rentals and will focus solely on their streaming service. Don't panic yet though as they WILL still be sending out DVD discs but under a different name, Qwikster. Their new service will be available in a few months and will also sport Game Rentals as an additional monthly charge. So what we'll see is two separate services providing two separate functions. Reed Hastings promised no more price hikes so, while there is no official Qwikster pricing information, it will be estimated to follow the current Netflix price structure of around $10 a month for 1 disc at a time. http://miiwiichat.com/article.php?id=12717 http://miiwiichat.com/article.php?id=12717#comment http://miiwiichat.com/article.php?id=12713 Tue, 13 Sep 2011 13:37:00 -0400 Player911 Nintendo of Japan released details and pricing for their new 3DS addon joystick accessory which provides a second analog joystick for upcoming games. The unit will roughly be priced at $20 US and will require a AAA battery so it doesn't draw power from the game unit itself. http://miiwiichat.com/article.php?id=12713 http://miiwiichat.com/article.php?id=12713#comment http://miiwiichat.com/article.php?id=12712 Tue, 13 Sep 2011 13:09:00 -0400 Player911 Nintendo announced dates of 2 new Mario games for their Nintendo 3DS portable gaming unit today via press release. Super Mario Land 3D and Mario Kart 7 are expected this holiday season before years end. Super Mario Land 3D has a date of November 13th in North America while Mario Kart 7 shooting for December 4th. Both Mario games should really push sales this holiday season for Nintendo's portable unit which recently underwent a massive price slash to boost (what they think) lacking sales of the new device. http://miiwiichat.com/article.php?id=12712 http://miiwiichat.com/article.php?id=12712#comment http://miiwiichat.com/article.php?id=12710 Wed, 07 Sep 2011 12:08:05 -0400 Bandit It has been revealed that Nintendo has plans to release this!?... thing: This is called the 3DS Expansion Slide pad. The first game to utilize this fugly peripheral will be Monster Hunter(tri) 3G. This is a ground up remake of Monster Hunter Tri released on Wii featuring new monsters, levels, and weapons. Go to Kotaku for more info This cradle like add on will add not only a right analog stick, slide pad , but also an R1, R2, and L2 buttons. The 3DS' original L1 button will still be reachable with the cradle attached. Since it is a cradle, it does surround certain parts of the 3DS. It appears that the game cartridge slot is blocked by the 3DS Expansion Slide Pad, meaning that you must take the 3DS out of the Expansion Slide Pad to change games. Apparently, the wireless switch is also blocked. Nintendo is expected to officially announce this at next week's Tokyo Game Show on Tuesday the 13th where Nintendo is holding a pre show press conference. This show will be streamed on Nintendo.com and will probably be shown on the Wii's Nintendo Channel. http://miiwiichat.com/article.php?id=12710 http://miiwiichat.com/article.php?id=12710#comment http://miiwiichat.com/article.php?id=12706 Thu, 25 Aug 2011 20:47:12 -0400 Player911 In the news today I'm reading about rumors of a new redesigned 3DS that will take the core focus off of the 3D implementation and shift it to the core power of the handheld. But is this the right path? Is the 3D dead? Or are people just hesitant to jump into it with their hard earned cash in a sour economy? Would games benefit from a more 2D approach with 3D features? Perhaps the older DS still has isn't dead yet. Maybe the game library isn't full enough to transfer over. What are your opinions and why? http://miiwiichat.com/article.php?id=12706 http://miiwiichat.com/article.php?id=12706#comment http://miiwiichat.com/article.php?id=12705 Fri, 19 Aug 2011 16:07:05 -0400 Player911 Flipping through my Twitter page, I found something I don't normally find.

Nintendo of America has announced today that it has slashed the recommended retail price of the Nintendo 3DS in the United States to $169.99. The new price is dramatic drop from the suggested launch price of $249.99 and becomes effective August 12th. You now have no reason not to own a Nintendo 3DS. http://miiwiichat.com/article.php?id=12704 http://miiwiichat.com/article.php?id=12704#comment http://miiwiichat.com/article.php?id=12703 Thu, 28 Jul 2011 05:27:40 -0400 Dahweirdacus Nintendo announced a price cut of the 3DS from $249.99 to $169.99 in the U.S. effective August 12, 2011. For anyone who was on the fence about buying a Nintendo 3DS, this is a huge motivation to buy now, said Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils Aime. We are giving shoppers every incentive to pick up a Nintendo 3DS, from an amazing new price to a rapid fire succession of great games. If you purchased a 3DS anytime before the price cut date, you will receive 10 free Virtual Console NES and 10 free Gameboy Advance games. Users must connect to the Nintendo eShop at least once before the price cut date. They will then be automatically registered in the Nintendo 3DS Ambassador program.

The update, according to Nintendo, should begin rolling out as soon as tomorrow.
