“Three Sacred Treasures” trailer for Kid Icarus: Uprising, the free game that Nintendo’s packed with preorders for 3D Classics: Kid Icarus in North America.

I’m kidding, of course! Just having some fun at the expense of those readers who think we’ve become too snarky. I’m actually pretty pumped about the potential for a boss fight with that huge Medusa in Uprising.

Special “Chotto Mario” 3DSes (click for larger images), sent to Japan’s Club Nintendo members this week who registered two 3DS games over the holiday and had their names pulled from a raffle. Nintendo made only 1,000 systems for each of the three designs.

As our commentors note, Europe and Australia have a similar lottery set up, where you need to register two select games to enter. And North America gets… nothing.

Pokemon + Nobunaga’s Ambition commercial airing in Japan, where this will release in a month.

There’s no word yet on whether this strange collaboration SRPG is headed to North America, but given the Nintendo DS’s near-empty slate and everyone’s love for pocket monsters, I’m betting we’ll hear something by E3.

Indies Zero head Masanobu Suzui crying at Yodobashi Camera because he can’t find a copy of Theatrhythm Final Fantasy, which his studio developed for Square Enix.

The Final Fantasy rhythm game for 3DS released in Japan this week, and apparently it’s selling quite well — some even report that a few stores have sold out of their copies! That might be due to a low initial shipment, but still, I figured a lot of people would ignore this and wait for the much cheaper iOS version that seems inevitable.

[Update: In case it’s not obvious, I’m glad that wasn’t the case, and that people are supporting Indies Zero!]

Super Mario Bros. (VC) ambassador update

Nintendo has put out some weird updates for eShop titles lately, and many have had trouble identifying what they add to their respective games. That’s not the case with the Super Mario Bros. update for those who downloaded the NES game as part of the 3DS Ambassador program.

The obvious change, as you can see in the image above, is the new menu icon, which replaces the generic box with an NES, a TV, and a shot of the screen. It also adds save states (tap screen) and a digital manual for the game.

Nintendo hasn’t announced this week’s downloadable games yet, but early reports indicate that they will be iSpot Japan on DSiWare (200 Points), Strider on Wii Virtual Console (Genesis, 800 Points), and the Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D demo on eShop (Free).

It’s also likely that Super Mario Bros. will be made available to non-Ambassadors now, making it the first NES game offered for sale on the 3DS Virtual Console in the States. There are reports, too, that Dillon’s Rolling Western releases next week in Europe — maybe we’ll get it in North America at the same time!

Bowser Jr. composing a sweet Swapnote for his pops, illustrated by Masa (click for a larger image).

When Bowser wakes up, he’ll not only have a StreetPass hit, he’ll receive a new message on his 3DS. According to Masa, the letter says, “Read this note when you get up. Be careful not to catch a cold. Take it easy!”

An early draft for Kissing Party, one of four designs from our Tiny Cartridge x Mare Odomo sticker pack. If you don’t get one of these to stick on a DS or 3DS cartridge, you’ll have to settle for playing Kissing Party with your dog. Or pillow. Or a hand with lipstick on it.

Happy Valentine’s Day! We hope you a romantic time with your spouse/Love Plus girlfriend/hand with lipstick.

Tekken 3D Prime Edition’s launch trailer. Lots of worthwhile games shipping today, including this one! I’ll probably end up buying Tekken 3D — passing on Tales of Abyss, even though my 3DS is in need of an RPG — so expect me to rock some of your faces online with Ling Xiaoyu and her Art of Phoenix soon.

By the way, don’t forget that we have a site dedicated to tracking DS/3DS releases and sales: DS Dates. It also has a spinoff blog that you should follow if you’re interested at all in ridiculous 3DS comics and 3D photos of animals.

Ask Swapnote's Nikki →

If you ever wanted to send messages to Swapnote’s mascot Nikki, you sort of can now — some young lass has set up a Tumblr blog for the green sweatered character.

There’s an Ask form for submitting questions, and if Nikki likes them (and if they’re not inappropriate queries that make her blush), she’ll post a sketch response. Neat!

eShop hipster John and pals return for another goofy but fun 3DS commercial, this time for Mario Kart 7.

Based on the limited exposure we’ve had to these guys, I’m assuming this set/home is meant to be ginger John’s. I can’t imagine the other fellows decorating their living rooms with rotary dial telephones, pinscreens with hand imprints, and prints of utility poles and wires.

Looking through the Tumblr blog for the actor who plays John, I found it hilarious that he’s almost exactly like his character in this video of him playing games in college.
