The highly anticipated Japanese RPG for the Nintendo 3DS, Bravery Default, was released today in North America. This game is very similar to the Final Fantasy franchise, making it a must-have for any RPG lover.  Stay tuned for an upcoming review!

During the Nintendo Direct broadcast last night, IGN broke news confirming the rumors behind a brand new installment in the 3DS line: the 3DS Big Mac XL!

  • 90% larger screens on both the top lid and bottom
  • Increased battery life (3.5-6 hours compared to the 3DS’ 3-5 hours)
  • Two colors in the United States, red and blue.
  • Comes with an AC adapter and a 4GB SD card
