Dear Reader:
Nintendo talks more 3DS details - custom soundtracks possible, game coin usage and more
- 3DS allows for custom game soundtracks via MP3 support, but no titles in the works with this feature
- The Nintendo eShop, the ability to transfer Nintendo DSiWare games to Nintendo 3DS and the Internet Browser will all be activated via a worldwide system update which is scheduled for late May.
- The Nintendo 3DS supports WPA and WPA2 Wi-Fi security settings
- Game Coins: We anticipate Play Coins to be used in a variety of different ways in-game—unlocking bonus content is just one example. Play Coins will not be used in the e-Shop.
- not discussing voice chat capabilities, but this should be a feature that will be in future games
- Similar to the way Friend Codes work on Wii, once friend codes are exchanged you see your friend listed by the nickname assigned to their system.
- not talking friend messaging at this time
