2DS View #36: Thanks For Playing!

Well, with 3DS View’s blog section closed down it looks like this incarnation of 2DS View is moving on, riding off into the sunset much like the DS itself. 2DS View will live on after this in a new format on my personal site at espiox.net (or just follow me on Twitter to find out when it goes live) likely with a focus on editorial content rather than news. It’s been fun writing these over the past few months; if anyone’s actually been reading along, thank you! Here’s one more for the road.

2DS View #35: We’re Back Already?

 

Wow, that month went fast. Hope you all had a great Christmas and/or New Year!

I’ll be completely honest: I did not expect this feature to run into 2012. Right up until that last post, I figured news would dry up after Christmas and I’d need to make some drastic changes to keep 2DS View going. Then they announced Pokémon + Nobunaga’s Ambition.

PSA: Ambassador GBA Games Available Now

The 10 Game Boy Advance games are now available to 3DS early adopters in North America, Europe, Japan and Australia. The process is the same as the NES games (Settings -> Titles You’ve Downloaded -> Redownload each game), but the new Sleep Mode Download feature means you can just queue them all up at once.

2DS View #33: 2012 Preview Edition

 

I hope everyone had a great Thanksgiving break. We’re back this week with screens from the only notable DS release in 2012 (unless there’s any surprise announcements in the new year, of course), Devil Survivor 2. There’s also a couple of “man, Japan gets all the best stuff” stories, which I realize are kind of cliche, but they are also completely true.
