Nintendo has announced that two brand new downloadable eShop Pokemon games will be available this coming fall. Pokemon Dream Radar and Pokedex 3D Pro are the games and are detailed to help enhance the gameplay of the soon coming Pokemon Black and White 2.
Here are some details about the two titles:
Pokémon Dream Radar lets players use several different features of the Nintendo 3DS system, including the Nintendo 3DS camera, motion control and augmented-reality technology, to catch Pokémon by moving the Nintendo 3DS to discover hidden Pokémon. Players can catch the Pokémon by moving the Nintendo 3DS to aim and shoot beams at them. Caught Pokémon from Pokémon Dream Radar can be transferred into Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2, helping players build their roster of Pokémon. Pokémon Dream Radar also includes some hard-to-get Pokémon, giving players even more incentive to catch them for their game. Pokémon Dream Radar will be available exclusively for purchase via download from the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS.
Pokedex 3D Pro is a fully enhanced and upgraded version of the original Pokédex 3D application. It includes detailed information about the more than 600 Pokémon featured in the history of the Pokémon video game series. Pokédex 3D Pro also includes in-depth sorting, comparison and ranking tools, as well as comprehensive details on what abilities each Pokémon can learn and how it evolves. Additionally, the application includes extensive augmented-reality capabilities, including the ability to take photos of Pokémon in the real world. With Pokédex 3D Pro, all known Pokémon are unlocked from the start, allowing players to access a wealth of information that will be useful as they play through Pokémon Black Version 2 and Pokémon White Version 2. Pokémon Dream Radar will be available exclusively for purchase via download from the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS.
Nintendo has released the long awaited update to patch up Mario Kart 7 from its known bugs. A few courses have been fixed to make sure that online play is not ruined by players taking massive shortcuts to finish races. People who declare they will not update to keep the bugs can say goodbye to the online feature as the mode is unusable unless the patch is downloaded.
You can download the patch by heading straight to the eShop after your 3DS has finished updating the latest firmware for the console.
The first Kingdom Hearts 3D trailer in English has been released by Square Enix and it is fantastic. The game will be released in Europe and North America in July.
Online UK retailer Play has recently listed Luigi’s Mansion 2 for preorder yet instead of displaying it on their site as coming to 3DS, they have put it as an upcoming Wii U title. We know the upcoming title is already being developed for 3DS yet this Wii U rumour is either a mistake by Play or we could be in for an awesome surprise at E3.
