Sometime in 2012 is the only fact that we know about a releasing date I guess.

A new Mickey Mouse game named "Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion" has been confirmed as a 3ds exclusive and being developed by Dreamrift. http://nintendo3dsblog.com/epic-mickey-2-power-of-illusion-is-coming-to-the-3ds
According to Warren Spector, the Wii version of Epic Mickey: The Power of Two is their main priority and is being developed by Junction Point Studios while the HD versions is being developed by a uk company named Blitz Games. http://mynintendonews.com/2012/03/24/the-wii-is-the-lead-platform-for-epic-mickey-2/
It's rumored that the 3DS' next updated is going to be a pretty huge one. The update is supposed to feature such new features like ability to access the eShop from computers and smartphones, adds a Nintendo Network App to the 3ds, allows you to update 3DS games, via eShop, and various other stuff. Click the link to see the rest:http://nintendo3dsblog.com/a-new-firmware-update-coming-soon For the Canadians here, you can go to Wal-mart and pick up a very cheap 3ds for only $119. I'd totally get one or another if I was there.

Speaking of sales, if anyone hasn't picked up Kid Icarus, you can get it for $29.99 at Best Buy. Here's the link if you want to order it:

Edit: I miss doing this. So I will continue doing this for this thread but only when it's a plausible rumor or when it's confirmed and if either or are pretty big. So usually no obscure stuff. I also have to have 4 or more articles to post so it will have much more news for everyone : D -

I hope this stuff ends up coming true, and soon. I'm an eager beaver for further "Nintendo Network" developments, and the ability to use QR codes as fast links to stuff would be pretty sweet.

Woo! Anniversary of the 3ds! Got my iwata mii today. Helped me get that last piece for the ocarina of time jigsaw
-
Oh I got him too. Was wondering what that was lol. Got me the last piece of Mario, Bowser and Luigi….which ended up boring. Shoulda picked Samus (which I only need one of)
Its a shame they didn't do a make-your-own puzzle thing. Coulda been kinda cool. Take a picture, seperate it into 20 pieces or so and then you can randomly get them from trading in coins or get one if somebody doesn't have any pieces for you (I get a lot of them)
-
Did we even have a release date for it yet?
I got told it was supposed to be in May 2012, but i guess that wont happen :(
-
Woo! Anniversary of the 3ds! Got my iwata mii today. Helped me get that last piece for the ocarina of time jigsaw
Yeah got him too, what a surprise ^^
But I saw then that I really need a lot puzzles. I wish Nintendo would make more Mii-Meeting via SpotPass, I barely get Miis via StreetPass -
A mii of Reggie Fils-Aime. Everything I wanted and more.
-
Apparently the US gets Reggie instead of Iwata, which I'm fine with =] Plus he's a level 5 hero in Find Mii!
However, I also noticed an achievement in which you get for meeting 10 special Miis. What other special Miis are ther besides Shigeru Miyamoto and Iwata?
-
The 3DS epic mickey game is going to be based on castle of illusion apparently.
Looking forward to this far more the the console sequel now.

Sakurai coming around Smash Bros 4? Aonuma around the next Zelda? That's all I can think of right now.
-
Maybe special Miis you can't create by your own like game characters … more like SD-versions of Mario, Link, etc. than an actual Mii ...?

Maybe. There's a Palutena Mii in the Gem Viewer in Kid Icarus Uprising.
-
When was a Miyamoto-Mii released?
I've heard that in Japan they distributed Iwata through SpotPass locations even before the 3DS anniversary, so maybe Miyamoto was released that way in Japan?
Anywho, gold pants means it's a special Mii. I've only got one of those so far.
-
Wasn't that girl from the letter software a special Mii too? At least I've got the Mii of that girl after downloading the software
-
Nope. No glittery golden pants and you couldn't use her in the games.

Yeah, definitely do want the 3DS mickey game. Hope it's as good as the mega drive Illusion games.
-
Here are some more pics someone from another forum I go to took:
!
It's looking great. I think I'll have to get it.
-
Lookie lookie he got hooky
-
That looks nice! I think I'll try it :)

That Energizer charging armor thing I mentioned about 10 pages back got itself a price drop at Target, so I took the dive and grabbed it. Well worth the money. It's armor, it's a battery supplement, it adds some extra thickness for more grip, it stores a few games, and best of all it lets you still use the stock Nintendo charging cradle. Well worth the $20 if anyone else has been looking for something like this.
Only 2 minor complaints: #1 - the ugly Energizer logo on the top half of the armor unfortunately isn't just a decal that you can scrape off. But the entire top half's a separate piece which you don't even have to use if you don't want to. #2 - The bottom half doesn't feel like it has a very good grip on the system. I mean, it's good enough, and it's certainly not going to just fall off while you're holding it and playing or anything. But don't start juggling your 3DS in the air.

Epic Mickey: The Power of Two is slated for release in Europe as September 26th. Warren didn't say about the 3DS Epic Mickey's release date. http://mynintendonews.com/2012/03/28/epic-mickey-2-for-wii-release-date-announced/
Someone was nice enough to put together a 3ds info-graph from the American and Europe release date till now. If you want to know most of the 3ds info, it'll be a cool look at. http://mynintendonews.com/2012/03/28/check-out-this-comprehensive-nintendo-3ds-infographic/
Here's 5 minutes of Fire Emblem footage for those who are looking forward to it. Open spoilers to view it.
!
For you Australians out there, Rhythm Thief and the Emperor's treasure will be launching April 12th and a reminder to Europeans that it's launching April 5th. http://nintendo3dsblog.com/rhythm-thief-the-emperors-treasure-to-launch-in-australia-on-april-12th
XSEED confirms that Unchained Blades will be launching as a eShop title later on this year in the West. http://mynintendonews.com/2012/03/28/xseed-confirms-jrpg-unchained-blades-for-west-will-be-sold-on-nintendo-3ds-eshop/ -
Great stuff, ALL GREAT STUFF!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Seeing Scrooge McDuck in Power of Illusion makes me wish they make another DuckTales video game. Ah, the good ol' days…
-

-
Me To. The people blowing into the catridge had me laughting hard.
-
I hope the quest option stays. It's really cool. They must've put a lot of work into it. Video was funny. Loved them blowing into the cart and the cart dialing up.
-
Welp. Xenoblade Chronicles comes out this Friday here in North America. Is anyone else going to buy it on Friday? I know I am.
I was disappointed to find there was no pre-order bundles for the much-anticipated game. Except for the gamestop artbook bundle, which was apparently undone recently. Unless I missed something.
-
Whoah, this Friday? Holy moley I have lost track of time. Guess I know what I'm doing this weekend.
-
I wish I had the money for it.
-
This friday in America? Awesome. You guys enjoy it. Its easily one of the best games this gen.
-
Come to think about it, Pandoras Tower is due this month. Cant wait.
-
Xenoblade Chronicles is excelent I'm 30 hours in.
The first battle is pretty meh, but once it ends, it touches certain crazyness that is a first in fiction for me.
! The world is the two titans of the opening
-
Whoah, this Friday? Holy moley I have lost track of time. Guess I know what I'm doing this weekend.
Yupp. I thought it was later in April, but then I did a Google Search and it's this week. Woot!
@Cyber-Robin:This friday in America? Awesome. You guys enjoy it. Its easily one of the best games this gen.
Really looking forward to it. Hey, is there a thread for the game here at AP yet? I'd be surprised if there wasn't
EDIT: Found it~
-
MUST HAVE MORE MONEY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I want this game so bad!!!

I](http://wii.ign.com/articles/122/1222184p1.html)'m not a graphics whore, but I'll come out and say it: If this is true, it'd be hilarious, yet incredibly disappointing. You'd HAVE TO BE TRYING to have a weak console in this day and age, Nintendo, so why should the Wii-U be less powerful? Oh well. Hoping it's rumors, but if they're true, it just goes to show Nintendo can't keep up with the times, so you guys can go and enjoy another generation of outdated, ancient waggle-festing with giant touch-screen controllers.
EDIT: Most likely rumors but still.
Damn conflicting quotes and rumors. E3 can't get here soon enough
-
Developers such as EA, Ubisoft etc said its better.
Developers who wish to remain anon say it's worse.
Sorry but I'd kinda trust the words of the actual devs. Anon could be anyone.
Ah well. As long as the games remain good I'd be happy.

I don't think many believe that. It was rumour on one site and the only reason it has attention is because ign posted it as an actual report. They also posted the release date which is obvious rumour. Most of the evidence is against it having worse graphics

Additional support for the Wii U november 18th release date rumor.
-
Yeah, I think I'll believe the numerous developers and publishers who have said that the graphics/power is at least as good as the PS3, and what I saw from last year's E3, and literally every other statement with an actual name attached to it that I've read, rather than a "unnamed developer" from a random blog.
as for the release date, that excites me about as much as the "there will be a new Mario for the 3DS in the future!" announcement does. It's pretty much a non-prediction, because it's so obvious. Nintendo likes to release systems in November, which is a good time to do it. If the date was significantly earlier I'd sit up and take notice, but Nov 18 sounds like exactly what I would have predicted.
In other news, I just got 100 miis in my Plaza, and the music changed for a third time! I think I'd have to go to Japan to reach the next milestone, though… (777 iirc)
-
Some more power of illusion screens & backgrounds:
Hopefully the level design will do the name justice.
-
Here's a random question I have that I can't really get a solid answer from by googling it: How do you beat the Green Slimes in Find Mii 2? I must have sent waves of random people I've streetpassed with at them and no one can land a single hit. And they're immune to magic.
-
I haven't played part 2 yet, but maybe knights with green shirts?

Nevermind, turns out the green slimes just have an incredibly high evasion rate. Just streetpassed someone who took both of them out in one go.

They do. They're ridiculously annoying. Then Blue and lastly red/pink are the easiest. blue (and i think green) can also heal

Man, I'm not even sure how to "unlock" Find Mii 2. I beat the first Find Mii and all it did afterwards was have me start over with the prospect of "get the rest o' them hats!"

It's been posted in the sonic thread, but as its relevant here as well http://gonintendo.com/?mode=viewstory&id=174945

You have to unlock all of the hats in Find Mii 1. Then you unlock Find Mii 2 via spotpass.
