There isn’t any one game in particular that stands out, but if 3DS can continue getting this much third party support, then things will only get better. We can probably expect something similar when 3DS launches here in America, two days later.

Hudson Entertainment Closing Its Doors
Accpording to Morgan Haro, Hudson Entertainment’s product and brand manager, Hudson Entertainment will be closing its doors at the end of February. Hudson Entertainment was the American branch of Hudson, that brought games such as Lost in Shadow and Bomberman to America. Haro attributes the closure of Hudson to the buyout in Japan from Konami, and the lack of leadership in the Japanese gaming market. In the future, Hudson games will likely be released under Konami’s name.

3DS Questions Answered
IGN has gotten answers from Nintendo from various reader questions. We already knew some of this information, but there are some things that we didn’t knw. For instance, 3DS has the ability to allow its users to create custom soundtracks for its games, but that feature is up to the developer to use. 3DS uses WPA and WPA-2 security, and game coins are not used in the e-shop. Nintendo also confirmed that voice chat for Black and White is still possible on 3DS, and that you can play multiplayer on an old DS game with friends that don’t have a 3DS.

One other thing IGN found out is the fact that friend codes can be automatically exchanged online if your friend is in the same room (local wireless). That’s actually yet another step up from the DS along with hardware codes and shorter codes.
Friends over longer distances will have to be manually saved.
yeah but that only confirmed something we already knew.
