A new Nintendo Direct was held to kick the current month off. There were a few revelations, explaining a bit more about some of the games that we have been waiting for. It was not a big flashy event but their news are still worth being published. Since this is a 3DS blog, I will focus my attention on the news related to the system. If you’re only interesting in watching the entire Nintendo Direct video, scroll down to the bottom of this post.

Ace Attorney Dual Destinies will have a free Demo.
According to the Nintendo Direct, the game’s demo is now available at the Nintendo eShop to download. I would also like to take the chance to remind you that there will be no physical copies produced for this game, so if you want it you will have to download it digitally starting this October 24.

Outset shirt design for New Leaf
To further celebrate the release of The Wind waker HD for the Wii U, Nintendo has released a new prodesign that will give you Link’s initial shirt in New Leaf. You know, the blue one with the shrimp. If you have Animal Crossing: New leaf and you unlocked the sewing machine, you can pause the conference video to scan the codes and get yourself a brand new shirt.
I believe that is all the 3DS related news. I apologise if I missed anything and as I promised, next I will leave you with the full conference video.
