Final Fantasy VII and Dragon Quest VII heading to Nintendo 3DS next year?

http://www.neogaf.com/forum/showthread.php?t=453058

More likely DQ7 but would love to be proven wrong. Would be a massive scoop for Nintendo if they got FF7.

Yeah, I'd expect more FF5 and 6 to be remade for 3DS first before we get 7, since the original DS only got 3 and 4. But I'd also love to be proven wrong there as well .

Dragon Quest 7 would make sense though, since 4, 5 and 6 were remade fairly recently.

It seems the firmware update will be hitting Nov. 30th, as an UK commercial mentions that 3D video recording is available on that date.

Next Wednesday

3DS Ambassadors will be notified about the GBA selection via SpotPass.

Well it's a TV advert, the small print at the end states video recording available November 30th, which is in line with what Nintendo promised.

Sorry, here you go.

Dear customer,

On account of the upcoming system update, which will be available by 8 December, Nintendo eShop will be unavailable for a limited period while the main server undergoes essential maintenance.

Once work on the server has been completed and you have performed the update on your Nintendo 3DS system, you will be able to visit Nintendo eShop as usual and take advantage of the new features. A SpotPass notification summarising all the improvements to Nintendo eShop will be sent out soon.

Nintendo eShop team

I commend you for this amazing post!

First Resident Evil: Revelations review - 91% from GamesMaster UK Magazine.

If you have a kid who’s too young for a smartphone, there’s nothing wrong with getting a Nintendo DS (starting at $100) or DS3 (the 3D model, $170).

Damn, they are totally right. $70 more for the DS3, which is just a 3D model of the DS? What a ripoff.

you can now update your 3ds. goin to eshop

No ambassador games - shit/

We should get them, along with demo's when the eShop opens.

If you've got no one to StreetPass with the update is pretty lacklustre. I've been waiting months and this is all we get?

I was hoping my GBA games and the messaging application would be available, at least.

The Spotpass feature added to the Streetpass Mii Plaza is supposed to let you gather Miis via Spotpass from what I understand. Those you met in Mario Kart 7 maybe ? (and other online games in the future ?)

Or maybe some special Miis will be sent on special occasions (Santa Claus Mii on Christmas, attacking with reindeers ? ... ... probably not XD)

It does, but they're useless. I can't use them in battle or to get puzzles pieces. Well, not that I know of so far, since I just tried.

I don't know how that works either and can't verify with MK7 since I don't have the game yet.

You gather Mii's through Mario Kart 7, but at the moment I can't find any use for them.
