That 3DS press conference was actually pretty weird. Most of the stuff they showcased were strange-looking eShop titles. Though I must admit, The Rolling Western looked pretty cool. I might give that a try, since I hear it's being localized. There was also a samurai game that I'm not sure if I want or not.
There was a lot of stuff we've already seen, like the Super Mario 3D Land footage that was spliced together from previous trailers. But that doesn't mean there wasn't anything new to speak of--as expected, they talked a lot about Mario Kart 7. Apparently, you can have up to eight players with little to no slowdown. That game is definitely going on my list of must-haves, but that was already a given.
We got some new-ish footage of Dream Drop Distance, featuring Neku telling Sora about the Game. I've never played a Kingdom Hearts game, but I think I'll try this one out if for no other reason than the fact that Neku's in it.
The biggest reveal was probably the confirmation that, yes, the upcoming 3DS update will allow for video recording. You can take up to 15 minutes of 3D footage, and there's also a feature that enables stop-motion animation. OK, to be honest, while I was hoping for a video recorder... who's actually going to use their 3DS to make stop-motion films? Seems kind of silly to me, but whatever. The update will also allow users to transfer software from one 3DS to another. Unfortunately, though, it seems the previous announcement that the update would be available on November 4 was incorrect. Huge bummer.
Anyway, aside from those things, we got some Monster Hunter footage, the announcement of some new horror game and... Shin-chan. A Shin-chan game. Not sure if want.
