“We have run out of parts”.
Following an announcement Nintendo would stop 3DS repairs in Japan, the company’s support service has now revealed it’s run out of parts necessary to repair the New Nintendo 3DS in this location.
According to a rough translation, this means it’s no longer accepting repairs for this particular unit as of 28th August 2024. On the plus side, repairs for the 2DS and 3DS XL are still available until Nintendo’s stock runs dry. It’s also worth noting the repair services for 3DS systems in other regions already ended.

Time to hide that smile?
Emio – The Smiling Man officially releases tomorrow, 29th August 2024. Developed by MAGES. and Nintendo, the surprise horror murder-mystery sequel was only announced weeks ago, and we’re already getting ready to step back into the Famicom Detective Club.
Die-hard fans of the original Famicom Detective Club games — either via the originals or the 2021 remakes — will be eager to dive in, and likely already have thanks to that three-part demo. But what did the critics think?

Smells like teen…MURDER?!
Has there ever been a horror movie that’s used elevator music successfully as its entire soundtrack? We mean a reasonably good one. Any suggestions? It almost seems there may be something tonally mismatched about the idea — unless you’re going for comedy — and, honestly, when playing Emio – The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club, it’s sometimes tough to know whether it’s horror or humour we’re supposed to be enjoying. It’s hard to know whether to laugh or cry.
This brand new entry in the Famicom Detective Club adventure series has managed to arrive to quite a bit more fanfare and interest than would usually be reserved for an entry in a visual novel franchise that, whilst perfectly fine, has never really set the gaming world alight. Old has-beens (like this writer) sampled Tantei Club Part II via fan translation and enjoyed it for what it was, but whilst the 2021 remakes are nice to have, it’s hard to say they are absolute must-plays, even whilst recognising their importance in terms of influencing the likes of Ace Attorney.

Now, just that fact alone is enough to have us polishing up our Holy Hand Grenades in anticipation, but information provided as part of the announcement has frankly got us giddy with excitment. We should have known better, of course, since the new release is being handled by the development wizards over at Digital Eclipse, a studio quickly cementing itself as one of the very best in the field of retro revivals.
