DS Virtual Console can't be on the 3DS. The only way it can run DS games limits it to a tiny amount of memory, and the games would have to be recoded for digital download saves.

Still uses the Nintendo Network to pull in the Miis and their posts :p

If there's a sequel, you can bet that there will be some

At least we have a main Animal Crossing game on the Wii U now :p

Animal Crossing Wild World this week

They did say at E3 that you didn't have to use the second screen aiming if you didn't want to

It won't be GAME exclusive

If you got more than 10, you should get a free play

You cannot, no

I imagine we'll get some in April. In Japan, at least, the new badges are often used to promote new releases. For example, Japan just got some Animal Crossing amiibo Festival badges

These all match the sprites in Super Mario Maker so I doubt there will be many more AC amiibo

Two more from Animal Crossing Wave 3

Think they may hold off for NX for Stadium. It'd be easier due to shared OS etc. between handheld and console and the cloud save system they showed at the investor meeting, so they can just grab the save (with a game selection option at start) to emulate the Transfer Pak. Doing it Wii U/3DS requires a lot of coding and maybe some additional software downloaded.

Looks like a third wave of Animal Crossing amiibo is planned http://www.perfectly-nintendo.com/amiibo-ryu-famicom-r-o-b-and-timmy-tommy-nook-amiibo-leaked/ From the Target system

Fun fact, back in the early 90s, Nintendo did do badges like this. I must have about 200 or so from Super Mario Bros. 3, Super Mario World etc. under my bed.

If you go in wanting to have every badge, you're insane. There's over 3000 badges in Japan. Even if you get lucky with every single practice crane, you're still looking at ~£250 of plays. This is not a game designed for completionists.

Na not really

Bunny for Smash!

I feel bad for Japan. They didn't get the GameBoy/GameBoy Color hybrid of Pokémon Yellow, so they're getting the black & white version. I really wish 3DS Virtual Console had Super Nintendo colour palettes. They need to wise up for NX. Already brought it up with TPTB

It's closer to Rumble World to Fullblox. http://www.serebii.net/picross/picrites.shtml You don't buy more courses, you buy Picrites which can be used to speed up recovery time or to unlock new areas. There's a top limit of the amount you can buy which then seems to make things a bit easier to stomach, just like Rumble World. You can play it all without paying a penny.

But that's just once a week and it takes all of 30 seconds. Complaining about a game giving an explanation of how it works is a bit weird...

Not really. Spin-offs are still dominant on Nintendo formats. Just because Pokémon Shuffle went on mobile doesn't mean that's what they're doing. You're highly exaggerating things.

I can see what you're getting at regards to rules but not sure what mobile has to do with anything.
