I know the next installment of Layton is scheduled to be released in America, but I guess I missed the memo on them region-locking the system. Balls.

Really? When is Professor Layton and the Specter's Flute coming out stateside?

The creator has admitted he gets paid just to troll people on Twitter. It's part of his job description. It also applies out of Twitter, he is just more active on it instead of reporting to news magazines and such.

That and the achievements were already shown on the 360 version in a leak, before the game even hit arcades. Everyone called it fake because Evil Ryu and Oni Akuma had no place in the game at all, then they turned out to be in the game. A while ago Seth Killian told MTV (lol) that one of the lowest points in his life has to have been when certain people are leaking information about games that are either still in development (referring to SSF4 AE) or just released (MvC3), because it puts a big strain on relationships between the company and its fans.

Sorry, by next I mean the next to be released....which is Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle. They're skipping the other ones as far as I know.

That would be pretty ass, considering they've gone on record stating they will release the entire Layton prequel trilogy in English.

Maybe we'll hear something at E3.

Nintendo had my money for this the instant Mega Man Legends 3 was announced.

Already got mine pre-ordered.

How's everyone's street pass plaza's filling out?

I've managed to get 13 or 14 unique people with a handful of duplicates that I bumped into every day at class, so I think I have a total of 19 tags or so, and amassed about 10 at once on Friday.

Anyone else have any luck? Gotten anything super bizarre?

I've got 10 characters in my plaza. I got 4 tags on Friday from the 3DS booth set up outside my office (I looked like a total stalker standing outside their booth in the rain three different times). All those were labeled as NY, and gave me Pikmin pieces, which were new to me. Otherwise, I've tagged a few on trips to EB, and a grand total of 2 randoms (oddly enough, on the same day, but at different times). My building is heavily trafficked by tourists/kids, as are the alternate food court where I eat lunch and Union Station. I'm hoping that once tourist season picks up and/or the market gets more saturated with 3DSes that I'll get more tags.

I feel sorry for anyone who doesn't have a friend/family member with a 3DS, because Find Mii gets impossible if you don't have a leveled-up Mii.

I got a duplicate. It asked me what I thought of him and I was like "You're okay." and he frowned and skulked off. Then I had him go fight ghosts after he gave me a Metroid Other M puzzle piece.

Nintendo 3DS eShop is coming June 6th.

It has been reported the browser doesn't support flash but quite honestly I would only recommend doing simple things on this browser anyway. You know, like looking up FAQs and general browsing and stuff.

After using Flash on my Droid, I can firmly say that this thing not having Flash is a good thing. Portable devices are not ready for Flash yet.

Got 16 different people so far. I usually have more luck if I go to the Eaton Center, getting 1 or 2 every time I go there. I guess it's because it's a tourist area. It's rare, but I sometimes get them on the way home from work and I never get any on the way to work. Only once have I ever met a fellow Nintendogs player though. Guess it's not too popular.

Finding Mii isn't that hard at all without family members with 3DS's. Lots of level 1 heroes have magics that strengthen the next hero so level 1 heroes can become level 2 heroes and so on. I hired 135 or so heroes so far and I am currently on the second last room.

P.S. I'm hoping Revenge of the Gator comes to the eShop.

Update: I don't like doubleposting either. Anyway, just for the update today. I think the Pokedex app is pretty cool. I actually like the 3D models this time around after the horrid ones in those Stadium games, Machamp especially.
