Some may say the Nintendo 3DS is pretty cheap as it is but now the company have confirmed that during the middle of next month prices will drop to a new all time low meaning it will cost the Japanese company more to manufacture the consoles than it does to buy them. Good for us!

Watch 3D movies on your Nintendo 3DS

Nintendo to allow users to watch 3D films right from the comfort of your console.

The Nintendo 3DS lets you play 3D games without the need for the ugly 3D glasses and now you will soon be able to not just play games but watch films.

News according to a press release from Nintendo confirms that the 3DS console will be able to handle 3D films later this month. Plus, users can download a film app from the 13th July.

You will be able to get your hands on 3D movies from Nintendo’s new eShop if you’re in Europe. US readers no 3D films for you yet! We expect a release later this year though.

What’s my view?

This sounds good! The ability to watch 3D films on the move without glasses doesn’t seem bad at all.

Get games for your Nintendo 3DS from 6th June

Buy and download games from Nintendo’s 3DS eShop also download a new firmware update.

The 3DS is a fantastic new device from Nintendo which lets you play 3D games glasses free from the palms of your hands. However, one thing the device is lacking is the amount of games currently available. Nintendo thought about this long and hard and came up with an eShop, so no need to move from the comfort of your house because all you need to do is download the free firmware update through Wi-Fi and begin downloading your favourites through your 3DS.

The new firmware update is due to land in North America on the 6th June so I hope in a few days it will reach us in the UK.

FIFA 12 in 3D

FIFA 12 will be available to play on your Nintendo 3DS.

Later than usual is yesterday’s blog.

Now, we don’t really associate big game titles like FIFA with Nintendo DS’s and have instead accepted titles like Mario and other fun games to play on our portable Nintendo DS’s. Good thing is its all about to change with the release of the new FIFA 12 on your Nintendo 3DS.

The Nintendo 3DS with its fast stability and gorgeous graphics is impressive as it is but the fact that you will be able to play FIFA 12 in 3D on it is utterly amazing! With more power from the new handheld device EA Sports has released the latest version of the football game, FIFA 12, on Nintendo 3DS. You can expect the device to feature touchscreen controls and 3D rendering.

Also, new to the 3DS version you will be able to create, edit and follow your very, own unique football player designed by yourself thanks to the featured “Be a Pro” option.

This looks exciting, let me know what you think.
