Pokémon 3DS Demo Coming Soon October 14, 2014
Posted by Maniac in Game News.add a comment
Pokémon Trainers unite, I’ve got a big announcement for all of you. Nintendo has just announced they are planning to release a special demo version of the upcoming 3rd Generation remakes, Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby for the Nintendo 3DS! This is enormous news as Nintendo NEVER releases demos for major Pokèmon titles!
Just like with the Bravely Default demo, the new Pokémon demo will serve as a prequel to the final version of the games and you will be able to explore Hoenn early. Also like the Bravely Default demo, Nintendo has also that content obtained in the demo will carry over to the new titles, but have kept quiet about how this will happen.
So how can you get it? Just go to The Official Pokémon Website and sign up for the Pokémon Trainers newsletter before October 20th, 2014. You will need a Nintendo 3DS or 2DS to play the demo.
Nintendo has made it clear that they are not enforcing a play restriction on this demo and players will be able to play the demo as many times as they would like. In fact, Nintendo is encouraging trainers to play the demo as much as they want, as new content will be made available as they play.
Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire are coming November 2014 to the Nintendo 3DS and 2DS.
Problems With Nintendo’s Virtual Console Service October 13, 2014
Posted by Maniac in Site Videos.add a comment
Nintendo’s Virtual Console service was one of the reasons Maniac purchased a Wii back in 2008. If you’re not familiar with the Virtual Console, its a service where players can purchase and download classic Nintendo titles from their earlier consoles onto their newest ones. This gave players the chance to finally experience rare older games which have not been manufactured in the past twenty years. Since it’s successful Wii launch, Virtual Console titles have come to the 3DS/2DS and Wii U. Nearly two years after the launch of the Wii U, the Virtual Console service is good, but it could be a lot better.
In this unscripted video, Maniac talks about a lot of the problems with Nintendo’s Virtual Console service, and how the service can be improved.
