Video shows off new features
So far Nintendo has announced the Virtual Console for 3DS as well as the ability to transfer DSiWare to 3DS, but it has a few more things to show off.
One of the worries about the 3DS was whether the DSiWare that you'd lavished your hard-earned Nintendo Points on would make the jump across to the new console. According to a Nintendo PDF, the answer is "yes, but with limitations."
Not a joke this time
For years, gamers have been clamouring for a VIrtual Console-style system for the DS, allowing them to download and play their favourite GameBoy and GB Advance titles. You just have to read the comments on this spoof article to know how keenly awaited the service was. Now, with the 3DS, Nintendo has answered your calls, as it's announced it's bringing a range of old school classics to the system.
Hit Sauron in the ring
If you fancy yourself as a bit of a gaming wizard, now's the time to put those arcane arcade skills to good use.
The Nintendo 3DS conference is at 2pm Japanese time, about 7am UK time. Do I want to get up and cover it? Not really. Someone else want to?
