Nintendo... stuff!

This is a very appealing deal... (seen below) especially if you don't plan on jumping on the Nintendo Switch (at all or until you see how it fairs). Some gamers don't know where the future of the New Nintendo 3DS will be with the birth of the Nintendo Switch and we don't know either, but I don't think they'd be stupid enough to kill a juggernaut for awhile. Based on sales of this newer more powerful handheld being increased even more (if they wisely prep for the Black Friday sales... for those who don't do an annual boycott) that would be a crap load of units owned by people expecting for content to continue. So... yeah, I'd the engine continuing to run for awhile. Will the Nintendo Switch user in the end of the handheld based on the combined home console/handheld initiative? Let's see how it plays out in the road ahead, I think it would make sense. Yang gave a very sound reason for this.

Major Miitomo Update Brings New Features and New Ways to Interact with Friends

Send Private Messages, Customize Rooms and Share in More Ways than Ever Before
REDMOND, Wash.--(BUSINESS WIRE)-- When Nintendo’s first smart-device app, Miitomo, launched in March, it heralded a new era for Nintendo, setting the stage for future mobile games like the upcoming Super Mario Run. Miitomo is now getting a major update starting today that adds even more ways for players to express themselves and communicate with friends. After downloading the free update, users can immediately enhance their social adventures by sending private messages to any of their friends who also have the Miitomo app, customizing their in-game Mii character’s room with things like posters and Nintendo-themed wallpaper, and sharing their answers and outfits with even more Miitomo users.

“With its focus on fun and social interactions, Miitomowas the ideal app to signal Nintendo’s entry into the smart-device space,” said Doug Bowser, Nintendo of America’s Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing. “This free update gives users even more ways to have fun with their friends.”
Here is a taste of some of the cool new things users can do after downloading the free Miitomo update:
  • Private messages: After downloading the update, users can send private messages to anyone on their friends list. But these messages just don’t pop up in a boring old window. Users can set the expression of their Mii, and either a user’s main Mii character or a Sidekick Mii (more on that later!) will personally deliver the in-app message to the friend.
  • Room customization: Rooms can be decorated with custom flooring and wallpaper, which can both be collected for free in the in-app Miitomo Drop game or by completing in-app actions. Some of the wallpaper is even inspired by some of Nintendo’s hottest franchises like Super Mario, The Legend of Zelda and Metroid. Rooms can also be decorated with posters adorned with Miifoto images or even real-life photos contained on the user’s smart device. Each room can hold up to eight posters. Each poster spot holds one poster and can be purchased individually for 99 cents from the in-game store.
  • Style Central: Dressing up in awesome outfits in Miitomo is a big part of the fun. With the new Style Central feature, users can submit up to three of their favorite custom outfits a day to share with other users. These other users can browse the submitted outfits to like them or try them on, and even purchase components without having to visit the in-game shop. By sharing outfits, users receive My Nintendo points that can be redeemed for fun Nintendo rewards. Visit https://my.nintendo.com/ for more information about My Nintendo.
  • Answer Central: One of the main features of Miitomo is answering fun questions and sharing those answers with others. The new Answer Central hub displays a public list of questions and answers that anyone can browse or comment on. This opens up the social interactions to a much wider base.
  • Sidekick Mii characters: Sidekick Mii characters are controlled by the account user, but play secondary roles to the main Mii. Sidekicks have their own rooms, can be dressed and can even be set to public or private. Up to 100 Sidekick Mii characters can be assigned to the main user.
  • Easier to Use: A new timeline feature allows you to see your friends’ latest answers without the need to speak to other Mii characters. You will also be able to see your friends’ customized rooms.

Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star
PlayStation®4 and  "PSVita" 
[Release: Winter]

Expanding upon the extensive and much-beloved Fate universe with a standalone story from acclaimed series writer Kinoko Nasu (of Fate/stay night fame),Fate/EXTELLA: The Umbral Star, developed by Marvelous Inc., transpires through a diverse cast of "Servants" - ancient warriors of legend and imagination, in loyal service to their Masters - who survived the Holy Grail War that took place on the Moon. In a future ruled by the all-powerful lunar super computer Moon Cell Automaton, these champions now duke it out for dominance over this digital realm, known as "SE.RA.PH." This story takes place after the events described inFate/EXTRA, and depicts the world after that previous Holy Grail War. Players will experience the story from the independent perspectives of the three heroine Servants and face off in fast-paced action against foes from a variety of Fate productions, including characters from Fate/stay night, Fate/Apocrypha and Fate/Grand Order. A new form change battle mechanic debuts in this entry to match its series-first gameplay style, transforming the player-controlled Servants and granting them considerable powers that allow them to devastate enemies and take formidable challenges head-on.

Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns
Nintendo 3DS™ 
[Release: 2017]

In celebration of the upcoming 20th anniversary of gaming's longest-running farming and life simulation series, this newest entry in the beloved Bokujo Monogatari franchise - now known as STORY OF SEASONS in the West - delivers the biggest adventure yet in STORY OF SEASONS: Trio of Towns. Settled on a homestead in the middle of three distinct and uniquely themed locales, players can explore a diverse landscape as they search for new ways to grow their farms and friendships. Extensive customization and gameplay options are on offer in Trio of Towns, with each village offering its own variety of regional crops, lads and ladies to romance, animals, festivals, furniture, decorations and more. More ways to play sprout up as players connect to one another locally or via the internet to chat, trade, and enhance items on a mysterious multiplayer island.

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II
PlayStation®3 and  "PSVita"    
[Release: Fall 2016]

The Legend of Heroes: Trails of Cold Steel II
picks up one month after the decisive collision which changed the fate of the entire nation at the conclusion of Trails of Cold Steel. Speedy, tactical turn-based combat with the newly-developed "ARCUS" system returns with all the bells and whistles players fondly remember alongside a new Overdrive mode, new means of transportation covering both land and sky, new allies, new dangers, and a renewed sense of hope as Rean tirelessly works to right the wrongs that have led the country to disarray. Cross-Save functionality between the game's "PSVita" and PS3™ editions returns, and clear data from the first game grants bonus stats and extra items. In addition, relationships cultivated during the earlier time players spent at Thors Military Academy affect future story elements and allow for more personalized conversations throughout the game.
Corpse PartyNintendo 3DS™  
[Release: Summer 2016] 

In the critically acclaimed cult hit Corpse Party, players take control of a group of Japanese high school students who inadvertently engage in a pagan ritual and find themselves inexplicably transported into a whole other space: an inescapable echo of a long-since demolished school building where a series of brutal murders once took place. Presented using crisp 2D sprite graphics in a classic 16-bit style, Corpse Party is brought to life with gruesome and horrifyingly detailed portraits and art stills, vividly descriptive text, and binaural 3D audio when played with headphones for a more immersive audioscape. Players' nerves will be thoroughly tested in this horror adventure, which provides a uniquely engrossing and terrifying story-driven experience. Remastered from the 2011 PSP game, the Nintendo 3DS rendition of Corpse Party will feature redrawn, high-resolution character sprites, newly arranged music tracks, and 3D art stills, as well as four new Extra Chapters exclusive to this version that provide insight into lesser-shown characters and plot elements previously left unexplained.
