Well well well well well... Do you not have a 3DS? And do you want one but think it's overpriced? Well fear not my friends! The 3DS's price will be lowered as of 12th of August 201. When that date comes the 3DS's price tag will be an attractive: $169.99 in North America, $249.95 in Australia, 15,000 Yen in Japan... as for Europe, we don't know. All that has been said about Europe is that the 3DS's price will be lowered by "about a third". Anyways here is what Reggie Fils-Amie (head of NOA) had to say about it:
"For anyone who was on the fence about buying a Nintendo 3DS, this is a huge motivation to buy now. We are giving shoppers every incentive to pick up a Nintendo 3DS, from an amazing new price to a rapid-fire succession of great games."
As for Europe:
"Nintendo of Europe will be reducing the European trade price of Nintendo 3DS to retailers by around a third from 12th August 2011, as part of a global trade price reduction initiative,"Nintendo told Eurogamer, "The ultimate price to consumers is, of course, determined by retailers, however we look forward to consumers benefiting from much lower retail prices very soon."
So, if you bdon't have a 3DS, I suggest you wait 'till august 12th!

Resident Evil: Revelations new details.
A few more game play details regarding Resident Evil: Revelations have been shared by Capcom.
There are said to be 'underwater sections' that will have full 360 Degree swimming and on top of that, there are a few underwater weapons that of course will be used for underwater fights against deadly sea monsters.
Also a new game play element will be introduced into Revelations, known as 'Elemental Hazards'. This will involve things such as severe cold and freezing that will harm the character on screen.
There is no news on the game Story-Wise, but the mysterious masked man at the end of the E3 trailer looks set to play a big part in the story. Also there is a possibility of an appearance from the infamous Albert Wesker, but not officially confirmed as of yet!
With more info still set to be revealed in August, are you all getting exited? I know I am! Capcom could be onto a killer game here!

Inazuma 11 UK Release Date confirmed.
Inazuma 11, the football/RPG game from the same creators of the much loved Professor Layton series has finally got a UK release date. We will be able to purchase this DS game on the 26th of August 2011! Many people have been waiting a while to get Inazuma 11 and have also been looking forward to the Anime that will walk out onto the field of the Disney Channel on the 25th of July 2011.
It's said to have a story mode that has you follow the path of a teenage goalkeeper named Mark Evans, as he tries to win over some of the best players around for his School Football Team, so that his school can have a shot at glory by winning the 'Football Frontier Tournament'.
But it's not all about the football, you don't spend all your time on a football pitch. You can explore the local town to assist your hunt for better players to recruit for your team. With over 1000 different players with different statistics to scout, there is plenty of time to make the best football team you possibly can. Also, with the addition of Wi-Fi, you are able to get 50 extra players on top of the already big selection.
So are any of you looking forward to Inazuma 11? Will it be a scorcher from the half-way line? Or an own goal? You decide!

Sonic Generations 3ds screenshots
Down here at NGN, I’m most excited about the upcoming 3ds games – the new ones, not the remakes. Without a doubt, the new game that looks most promising (and close) is Sonic generations, which is supposed to return the game play of classic sonic, and fuse it with the better new game play of current sonic. From the looks of these screenshots, we’ll have some sweet graphics for the 3ds version of the game. And is it just me, or is there an element of Sonic heroes in this? Either way, here are the screenshots; we’ll be bringing more information as it comes!

3DS System update
Remember that blue light on the notification LED of your 3ds on the 7th of June? Well you should be seeing it again today once you connect your 3ds to the internet. No, it isn’t the usual Pokedex update, this time its a full on 3ds update. Nintendo have stated that this update will stabilise the system and upgrade its online capability a bit more, allowing it to browse the web faster.
I reckon that this update also upgrades the system security, so if any of you have taken the wrong road and got an R4 3ds, then I suggest that you stop using, like you should have done ages ago. If Nintendo detect usage of a flashcard on your 3ds system, then your 3ds will be bricked, and Nintendo will refuse to fix it.

Pokémon Rumble Blast: JP release date delayed
Earlier today, the official pokemon website released information that the release date for the brand new Pokemon 3ds game, Pokemon Rumble blast, has been delayed. They did not state why the game has been delayed, but did put that the new release date is August 11th 2011, two weeks later than the original release date. This game, known as Super Pokemon Scramble in Japan, is the first Pokemon game on 3ds as well as the upgraded sequel to Pokemon Rumble on wiiware, is quite anticipated by fans. The fact that it has been delayed in Japan means that we won’t get it as soon as we could’ve possibly got it either.[Source: Serebii]
