  • Pokemon Games: Transparent Skins For Lucky European Nintendo Fans

    Those lucky Europeans are about to get something really special courtesy of Nintendo.

    Apparently they will be the EXCLUSIVE recipients of transparent 2DS skins. This means for the nosy gamer who wants to see exactly how their 2DS works, now they’ll know.

    The transparent models are expected to go on sale in Europe on November 7th, and will come in red and blue versions.

    The color choice isn’t a mere coincidence, either.

    Depending on the color of the model, the buyer will get either Pokemon Omega Ruby or Alpha Sapphire included as part of a bundle.

    The games are said to come pre-installed on the devices in a 4GB memory card.

    Nintendo fans in the UK can expect for demo versions of Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire to arrive on October 15th.

    To try it out, they can get codes from Nintendo, Amazon, GAME, and ShopTo.

    As for the transparent 3DS models, it’s not yet known what the exact price is for these special versions of the Nintendo game.

    Previous 2DS standalones were priced at about £110 or roughly $180. It could be that these new transparent models are priced in the $200 dollar range.

    There is no word yet as to whether or not the transparent red and blue versions of the Nintendo 2DS with the bundled Pokemon games will be released in the United States at some point.

    Nintendo fans located stateside can only look on and hope for the best.

    Personally, I think I’d prefer it if Nintendo would be kind enough to make available the limited-edition Poke-themed 3DS that coincides with the release of Alpha Sapphire and Omega Ruby.

    These products come with suede faceplates featuring a Pokemon design. How cool is that? They are said to cost around $177.

    Hopefully Nintendo will be kind enough to give their American fans something just as awesome in the near future.

  • Hulu Plus Makes Its Way To The Nintendo 3DS

    Hulu Plus Makes Its Way To The Nintendo 3DS

    The Nintendo 3DS is becoming to go to handheld for games everywhere these days thanks to a string of hit titles, like Pokemon X/Y, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team and Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon. Now players can also enjoy the latest and greatest TV shows on the 3DS’ 3.5-inch display.

    Nintendo announced this morning that Hulu Plus is now available on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo 3DS. The free app has all the features of the Hulu Plus app on the Wii U, but on a decidedly smaller screen for on-the-go viewing wherever there’s a Wi-Fi connection.

    Hulu Plus is just the second video streaming platform to hit the Nintendo 3DS. Netflix has been on the handheld since 2011, while other services, like Amazon Instant Video, continue to abstain from the device despite being on the Wii U. That may change soon, however, as the addition of Hulu Plus may signal a push on the part of Nintendo to get more video streaming options on the 3DS.

    Why would Nintendo need video streaming options on a handheld that can sell itself on the quality of its games alone? The company makes a big to do in the press release about the launch of the 2DS – the new $130 handheld in the 3DS family. It’s being sold as the cheap way to get kids and non-gamers into the world of Nintendo handhelds, and some parents would obviously question the value of a 2DS over a tablet. With an improved range of multimedia options, parents might be more inclined to buy the 2DS so their kids can have both Hulu Plus and Pokemon.
