Latest 3DS System Update & Mario Kart 7 Patch
In April we received a new system update for the 3DS.
3DS Home Screen Folders
This update gave us the ability to organize our games into folders. I don’t know about you, but as an Ambassador my home screen was full of games. Nintendo has put out an amazing amount of downloadable content and the ability to organize it without having to scroll screen after screen is a great addition. We even get to name our folders so we remember what’s in each one.
Game Patches
Also in this update they built in the ability to install patches to games you have already purchased, digital or cartridge. We saw the first one of these updates in May with Mario Kart 7. This also was a welcome update as the online multi-player games had been overrun with players using unfair glitches to get ahead. After figuring out why I was always last and learning to perform the cheat myself, I still sighed with disappointment anytime another player chose the Maka Wuhu map for races online. Nintendo even ensured an even playing field by requiring the update before allowing you to play online. So, get to the eShop and download this update.

There are a plethora of video game reviews on the internet, and each site reviews games in their own way. With that in mind, I figured it would be a good idea to lay down some guidelines for how 3DS game reviews will be presented on my 3DS blog.
In my reviews, I’m not going to break games down into a list of attributes and assign each one a finely-tuned decimal rating – there are plenty of sites doing that already. What I will do, is address the questions that you come to a video game review to get answers for. Continue reading
