Nintendo has packed 3DS with so many features that it's not even promoting some of the major ones. Today's Nikkei detailed one such silent feature: software install.

According to the paper, gamers will be able copy 3DS software to internal memory. Multiple games can be stored with the system in this fashion. You'll be able to switch between games by selecting a title from the system's main menu.

The paper notes that due to this feature, there'll be no need to swap cartridges. When outside of the home, you won't need to carry game cartridges with you.

Nikkei is a financial paper, so it obviously didn't get into the specifics on how this installation system will work. We'll have to wait for Nintendo to provide clarification.

Hey some marketing for Sin and Punishment. Saw this on front page of amazon.com video games section (US) :

PS Move has DualShock Support If you don't want to pay for the navigation Controller, you don't have to.

What kind of lame cheap skate is going to buy just the move-mote and use a whole dualshock in the other hand?

Oh right, Vader

LOL...yeah that doesn't seem like it would be a very comfortable way to play. I'm commited to buy it cuz I love having PS3 software taking advantage of these controls, but fuck man....its WAY too expensive. If they expect it to catch on like it should, they need to lower the costs. It shouldn't cost close to the price of a Wii console for a controller.

I'm not sure of the price break down. So, if you have the PS Eye, which lets assume no one does it costs?

$100? What does that package have in it? Sports champions or whatever it's called, the move-remote, the PS Eye and does it come with the nunchuk or does it come with a second move remote?

No the bundle doesn't have the analog stick....that's an extra $30. So $130. Then, if you'd like to charge the controller...another $30.....so you're looking at $160 without tax to get everything you really need.

Do you have to buy the charger to recharge it? Can't you use batteries or would it recharge like the dual shock with a USB cable?

Shiggy interview

You announced a new Donkey Kong game with Retro Studios. We haven't known what they've been up to since Metroid Prime 3. It's another update to a classic Nintendo franchise. How did that process start? How long has it been in the works?

Well, I think it's good for game developers to work on a lot of different things. Of course, Retro had been working exclusively on the Metroid Prime series for a very long time, so that's where their focus was and it was a very specific kind of gameplay. We thought it might be a good idea for them to try something new, so we suggested they try their hand at Donkey Kong thinking that they would turn the idea down, but they jumped at the opportunity and said, "this sounds great. We really want to do this." So they were very excited by it.

It looks similar to the old Donkey Kong games. Did you guys experiment with any different types of gameplay, like a Donkey Kong first-person game?

[Laughs] We had been looking at the Donkey Kong franchise and thought Retro was a studio that would be really well suited to creating something in that style, particularly with their graphic capabilities and what they can do there. Of course, my team worked on Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, but with the Tokyo studio busy with the Mario Galaxy game, we were looking for someone who could take the Donkey Kong franchise and do something with it. Once we proposed the idea to them and they started looking at it, they wanted to do something similar to the Donkey Kong Country series and it came together relatively quickly.

[Laughs] I don't like to talk about Pikmin much because it seems like every time I do it just creates more articles, but we are working on Pikmin. I think that maybe if you go to the booth and look at the lineup that we have, even if we had Pikmin here and released it soon, we already have so much content that maybe people wouldn't buy it.

I would buy Pikmin, Miyamoto.

Damnit I'm dying here, I haven't even got off the Nintendo updates yet and I'm exhausted. E3 is killer.
