A Reggie Mii comes bearing gifts for 3DS' first birthday [update: Iwata too!]

Mar 28th 2012 1:16AM (Joystiq)
@Softserve I've streetpassed about 30 people. Here's some tips:

1.) Go to places with people like church, movie theaters, malls, etc...
2.) Go to places with nerdy people like a Renaissance Fair, library, etc...
3.) Go to places with travelers like an airport, bus station, train station, etc...

If you do those three things, you WILL get streetpasses.

Game Gear emulation outclasses the other 3DS Virtual Console games

You do realize that you can run Gameboy games in native resolution on a 3D gameboy, right? Just hold Start + Select while it's booting up. If you want the native palette, just press L+R+Y

Super Mario Bros. and Portal collide in 'Mari0,' now available

In order to appreciate this in it's true awesomeness, play it with a Wii remote on a big TV.

There's two ways to play. Either use it in sideways mode and flip it as a pointer when wanting to put down portals (A and B put down portals, 1 and 2 is run and jump.) OR Use a nunchuck and have Z run, A jump, C portal, B Portal.

Speaking of kids, what if a kid throws an item into the cart? Do you auto purchase it?

Dreamcast's Jet Set Radio coming to XBLA/PSN

The music was central to JSR. To be missing any of it would make it less of a game.

Sonic the Hedgehog 4: Episode 2 details sneak out via XBLM listing

@CoconutSkittle Agreed! Maybe they could also release Episode 1 with the updated physics engine (and Tails!)

Nintendo doesn't plan on fixing Maka Wahu track in Mario Kart 7

Jan 17th 2012 11:16PM (Joystiq)
@briscott Here's how they could patch it:
1.) Firmware could check to see if a patch has been downloaded for a game inserted into the system.
2.) If the patch exists, it will run the patch instead of the card. The patch would act like an action replay or game genie except it would fix the bug rather than create more cheats.
3.) The patch could also advertise its version to the server. If the server does not get a version number, they know its an unpatched game and thus would reject the cart from connecting online.

So there doesn't have to be a system built into the game. The system only has to be built into the firmware and you could theoretically patch any game.
