We wrote a fun piece a few weeks ago about how the famed Parisian art museum, The Lourve, has been utilizing the New Nintendo 3DS as an audio guide since 2012. Whether this was just a case of serendipitous timing or someone in Paris really follows Nintendo news, The Lourve…

Today marks 10 years since one of my all-time favorite rhythm games, Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call, launched on the Nintendo 3DS. The sequel to the original Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, Curtain Call was jam-packed with amazing Final Fantasy music, characters, and stages. Not to mention the absolutely addicting touch screen…
The time has finally come and gone – as of yesterday, April 8th, 2024, Wii U and 3DS games can no longer access Nintendo Network servers. This has resulted in many, many games being stripped of core components, from online battling and trading in Pokémon to accessing courses in the…
