Drop In/Drop Out: 3DS Edition
- 3DS Edition
Greenyz (Francis Basco) and BigGumby (Dustin Grissom) have both had their 3DS’ since launch (Greenyz went to the midnight launch!). Although some people may not be as impulsive as we were when buying the next generation Nintendo handheld, there are some people out there that may still be questioning whether now is the time to buy a 3DS, or if there even is a time at all. With this feature, Greenyz and I (BigGumby) are hoping that we can put your worries to rest, and help you with your lingering question: Should I “drop in” or “drop out” of getting a 3DS? To do this, we are going to run through all of the key features with the system, including the user-interface, the hardware, the built-in software, it’s online offerings, StreetPass and SpotPass, the eShop, and, of course, the 3D effect. So, let’s get started!

Chapter by Chapter – Ghost Trick
Another new feature of the site! Unlike other features that I’ve experimented with this one is more easy to follow through with. Basically these will be the first impressions a game gave me through each chapter or level of a game.
In this page we’ll look at Ghost Trick for the DS. To those who have played the game you know how fun it is to guess the plot twists but for those who haven’t played or completed the game be warned I spoil the entire game.

Baka to Test to Shokanjuu features some Nintendo cameos/references
So yeah originally I decided not to really mention this since I was a bit lazy but thanks to the fact that I now know that the Power Glove appears on the show I’d thought I might as well post it. So yeah this new anime, Baka to Test to Shokanjuu, seems to make reference to Nintendo more than once.
Hotel Dusk survey on Club Nintendo
A week ago I found a copy of Hotel Dusk that was on the clearance rack and marked down twice. I knew I had to jump on the occasion so I decided to get it. Anyway a week after registering Nintendo products on Club Nintendo you get the chance to fill in a post-play survey.
Summer Wars and the DS
Yeah so through the suggestion of a friend I decided to check out the movie Summer Wars. I’m not going to go into the whole thing about it being similar to a popular anime movie that most people might know about but I do want to say I found the the movie very fun and visually exciting.
More in store from XSEED

Bloopers: Yes Nintendo I do intend to purchase your games, but…
Yes Layton, I'm stupid. You don't have to point it out though.
Interviewing the man behind the man in the top hat
Battery Acid got to interview the creator of the famous Professor Layton Twitter once thought to be an ad campaign for the North American release of the upcoming Level-5 game, Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box.
Looking Back – An interview with Metanet Software about N+ and such
Again we have another old interview. This one was my first duel interview and well at points I don’t know who’s talking so when it says “Metanet” it means I don’t know who it is. Um yeah this one was pretty long too! I didn’t even notice how long it was until I started editing it. XD
The game’s really fun. Anyone who hasn’t tried out at least N should.
BA: Can you tell the readers a little bit about yourselves?
Metanet: We’re in our late 20s, we live in Toronto, we like candle-lit dinners and long walks on the beach.
BA: Hehe. How did you feel about the success of N and N+?
Mare Sheppard: We’re happily surprised, it’s pretty amazing to us that people are enjoying our games.
