Help Support LEGO Mobile Designer for Nintendo 3DS

Hey there readers, Atzunew here with something a little bit different. A site by the name of Cuusoo has been established so consumers can create possible LEGO related products and if they gain enough support then they will be sent to be reviewed by LEGO. Officially this website has created 3 ideas that have become retail kits, but has given LEGO many more for review. Most notably the LEGO Minecraft kits were started and supported there. Usually this is kits but sometimes we get stuff like this: "LEGO Mobile Designer for Nintendo 3DS/iPhone".

The LEGO Digital Designer program is a successful application for the PC platform which is free to anyone. The premise is that you can create a full LEGO kit in the program and then you can purchase the kit directly from LEGO with custom packaging and instructions included. Someone on the site has proposed a port to 3DS and iOS platforms. This concept could also extend to other platforms like Android if it gains enough support. The 3DS is in desperate need for some quality apps on it's eShop right now and I think that a digital designer program could help with that issue.

This needs your support however, as Cuusoo needs to provide LEGO with 10,000 supporters to prove that this would have a suitable demographic at launch. Even if you wouldn't want to get this yourself you can support the fact others would. Some other examples of Cuusoo projects that are up for review include Legend of Zelda kits and the Firefly Serenity kit. If you're looking to be more artistic on your 3DS be sure to also check out my review on Colors! 3D.

Hey there readers, Atzunew here coming with some eShop news.  Today marks the release of the cheapest game in the NoA eShop to date, Bird Mania 3D.  Below is a short description of what the game entails, so read and see if this game is for you.

Bird Mania 3D can be described as an single player action game that has players dodge obstacles and collect stars.  This game is meant to be picked up and played for short but rewarding sessions, not being enthralled for hours on end.  The makers of the game, Teyon, have made several successful and fun games in the past albeit low quality ones.  For it's $1.99 (USD) price tag I would pick it up if you have the spare change in your eShop balance or like the look of the game but otherwise don't.

Two New Pokémon eShop Games Announced

Hey boys and girls, Atzunew here talking to you about some new eShop games that were announced on the latest Nintendo Direct. We have learned of two new titles that will be hitting the eShop in Japan this summer: Pokémon AR Searcher and Pokédex 3D Pro. Both these games have a confirmed release for Europe for this year. No details on a North American launch, but we can assume that we will get these games here at the same time or soon after.

Let's start with some details on Pokémon AR Searcher. As the title suggests it is an augmented reality game where players use real life environments to their advantage. In this game you will search around your area for Pokémon and somehow capture them. I say capture because of the feature where players can send their Pokémon from this game to their copy of Black 2 or White 2. This game will be on sale in Japan on June 23rd for 300 Yen.

Next up is Pokédex 3D Pro. This downloadable game will no doubt be similar to the original Pokédex 3D. It will contain Unova region Pokémon as well as Pokémon from other regions. No word on whether they will only be the Pokémon in the new Unova 'dex or if it will be a full National Dex.  Also, this game is supposed to fully replace the orignal Pokédex 3D, therefore there will only be one icon, not two on the home menu. On July 14th fans can pick up this game for 1,500 Yen.

If you're interested in listening to Japanese, here is a video of these two new eShop games as shown on Nintendo Direct. Want even more Nintendo news, check out the recent announcement of New Super Mario Bros. 2 and the new 3DS firmware update.
