Final Fantasy confirmed for 3DS...

Square Enix have confirmed a Final Fantasy game for the Nintendo 3DS... But hold your Chocobo's.. Don't get to exited..

The game is called ''Theatrhythm Final Fantasy'' and is (as the name suggests) a rhythm based Final Fantasy, where all the battles will be based on rhythm.

This game may or may not appeal to long term fans of the series due to it's massive differences. But the game is said to feature things from previous games like; towns, dungeons, music and characters. We even see an appearance from Mr. Cloud Strife!

That said, we all know what we really want is a fully fledged RPG from Square Enix on our beloved 3DS. With the Nintendo 3DS Conference on the 19th July, who knows? Maybe we'll get that too!

July 7th, 2011 Nintendo being sued for patent infrigement because of 3D display on 3DS

*sigh* why? Just why?
Apparently Tomita Technologies SUING Nintendo for "infringing" on one of their patents! This is the patent. It's stupid: Nintendo get sued when they use a technology, yet Tomita here didn't think for a second that it'd catch on! The stupid thing is though, that Tomita are suing because the 3DS's technology has "too many similarities" to Tomita's patent!

It will be interesting to see how Nintendo respond to this! But we can only wait and see! But as Shack News reported: “seeking a trial by jury, and awaits a decision by the court.” so only time will tell!

Nintendo 3DS Press Conference due for 19th July 2011.

Nintendo have announced that there will be a 3DS press conference this month on the 19th. No major details have been said as to what they will be showing, if anything. Or if we will be able to watch online. Just the date of the conference for now.

I believe we will most likely see lengthier trailers from E3, but let's face it, we are all hoping for something new. And the fact that Nintendo have called a Press Conference in such a short time after E3 last month, I think our luck may be in.

My personal predictions are trailers of some (hopefully) big titles that didn't have a trailer prepared in time for Nintendo's E3 presentation.

But as I said earlier, no details (minus the date) have been released yet, so the chance that I am wrong is high at this moment in time. I guess we will have to wait and see if Nintendo have some big shockers for us!

Deniz Guzel's Pokemon Card Reviews: Zoroark - Black/White

Sorry again guys, I've been really busy. Nice on for you today though,

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Zoroark- Black and White
Yes its not an Lv.X this time, but I think its a good card to use for this week.

Art- What more can you say? It's brilliant. The background really stands out, the Zoroark looks good with the Black (to symbolize Dark type) backing, and overall, I think it looks pretty cool.
Art Rating --8.8-----

Collectors- On ebay, its worth around 4-6 quid(holo not normal), so it's not that valuable like some others. But i don't think anybody will disagree that is a nice card to keep
Collectors Rating---8.9---

Battle- This is the fantastic part. Its first move, Nasty Plot says you search your deck for a card and put it into your hand. Shuffle your deck afterward. that's just epic. However Its next move, which requires 2 colourless energy, Foul Play lets you choose your opponents attack and use it against it. Now that's fantastic against strong Pokemon, like this Emboar,
it can knock it out easily, although it'll take time to knock out smaller Pokemon. This is a Pokemon that you will definitely see in a TCG championship
Battle Rating -----9.8-----

Overall its a strong card a very good one, and it can do damage to a lot of strong and powerful cards out there.
Overall----9.2-----
