All you need is your Nintendo 3DS or XL, a new SDHC card with a higher capacity, your computer, and a SDHC compatible USB adapter. Follow this process and we will insure you don’t lose a single file, downloaded game, or video during the upgrade.

Metal Gear Solid 3D Snake Eater Unboxing October 8, 2012
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
As you know, I have a very long history with the Metal Gear Solid series. The Nintendo 3DS has seen its share of classic games get 3D remakes and Metal Gear Solid 3D Snake Eater is one of those games. Originally released in 2004 for the PS2, this was the first game to feature Naked Snake, and served as a prequel to the earlier Metal Gear Solid games.
Now, with Metal Gear Solid Ground Zeroes announced recently, I decided to take another look at the first game to feature Naked Snake, in full 3D.
Metal Gear Solid 3D Snake Eater is out now exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS.
Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir Unboxing October 3, 2012
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
Keeping with our theme of scary games for the month of October, Maniac unboxes a unique game in the 3DS library, Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir. Based off the Fatal Frame series, Spirit Camera turns the Nintendo 3DS into the Camera Obscura and allows you to investigate a very special book that is included with the game package, the Diary of Faces.
A few side notes about the game that were brought up in the video. There was a short horror film produced as part of a viral campaign for the game prior to its release. It served to make game which already focused on augmented reality seem all the more real. I like when the line between reality and game is blurred like this. This was the version done for North America.
Apparently there is a Japanese short film as well.
Secondly, the preview event that was referenced did get promotional coverage of it on Nintendo Show 3D, which is a bi-weekly 3D video series on the Nintendo eShop. For those of you who don’t have a 3DS and as such no access to the show, here’s the clip of the Spirit Camera event downsampled to glorious 2D.
Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir is out now exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS. You can expect a review soon.

Maniac took a look at the shrinkwrap for a new copy of Metal Gear Solid 3D for the 3DS and thought it looked a bit like Konami was cutting costs.. That plus the recent announcements at Konami made, like the decision to not release Metal Gear Rising: Revengance on the Xbox 360 in Japan or release any further updates for Silent Hill HD Collection on the 360 made him wonder just what is going on at Konami?
