Daily Briefs (Jan. 30) – list of New 3DS exclusive/enhanced games, more

Here’s today’s Daily Briefs:

New Nintendo 3DS

The New Nintendo 3DS came out almost 1 year ago in Europe and North America, and unfortunately, there isn’t all that many exclusives games for it. Here’s the list:

• Xenoblade Chronicles 3D
• The Bind of Isaac Rebirth
• Lifespeed
• Wind Up Knight 2

That being said, there’s quite a few games that are “enhanced” on New Nintendo 3DS: additional controls, better framerate, extra features… You will find a list of games in this post, on NeoGAF. It’s not exactly exhaustive, but it will get updated regularly (such as when new games are released)!

Super Mario Maker

On February 25th, Taito will release a new figurine for Mario, in Japan. This one is a bit special, as it’s actually based on Builder Mario, from Super Mario Maker.

Unfortunately, we do not have a price for this figurine.

Bitmap Books is proud to present Super Famicom: The Box Art Collection – a compilation of Japanese game packaging, professionally shot and presented as a glorious hardback edition. The book features around 250 titles, including many rare examples and some that have never before been documented in print. Sourced from the archives of renowned collector, Stuart Brett (aka Super Famicom Guy), each box is beautifully presented life-size, with a critique of the artwork, plus interviews with other collectors, explaining their love of the format.

Super Famicom: The Box Art Collection comes in a square format book, bound in charcoal grey wibalin with a gold foil block logo and lithographically printed to the highest standards. Long-time games journalist Steve Jarratt, launch editor of Edge and Nintendo magazine Total!, will oversee the text and also write the foreword.

Super Famicom: The Box Art Collection is an unmissable treat for anyone who had a passion for Nintendo’s 16-bit games console, and who came to embrace the distinctive Japanese artwork adorning these iconic games.
