If you have a Nintendo DSi and/or a Nintendo DSi XL device and have been heavily reliant on DSi store, toaccess DSiware downloadable content you will be sad to hear that there store will be closed on 31st March 2017; 8 years is not a bad run considering.

It may be time to ditch the outdated DSi device and go for something that’s current like the Nintendo 3DS. With regards to the DSiware that you do have, and availability on the 3DS. Nintendo released an update on June 2011 which made it possible to access the DSi Shop’s library of DSiWare games through the Nintendo eShop, where you can transfer from the DSi system to the 3DS system whilst you still can; be aware that not all games will be compatible, so you may lose some games you like and have to find alternatives. The points can still be added using DSiware until September 30th 2016, and content can be purchased until March 31, 2017 when the shop will be closed.

Zelda fans were let down last year when the release of new Legend of Zelda for the Wii U was pushed back to a later date sometime in 2016. Nintendo claimed they still had some finishing touches to add to the game, and wanted the game to be the most complete Zelda game they have ever created. Though with that said, it’s more than a coincidence that the release date would be pushed back to the year that would mark the 30th Anniversary of Zelda; most likely Nintendo’s way of bringing their best Zelda game to date into it’s full glory on an anniversary date to really do it justice.

Either way the extra tweaks over the past year and whatever they have been doing, has to be well worth the wait.

We will just have to wait until the E3 2016 for the announcement of when the new Zelda will be released; expect to see the E3 2016 taking place from June 14-16 at the Los Angeles Convention Center.

Roll7 are a UK studio that is quickly making a name for itself alongside the rockstar American publisher Devolver Digital. Roll7 started life on Sony’s amazing handheld; the Playstation Vita. The team responsible for courting indie titles recognised the quality of the small studio and worked hard to help them get Olli Olli – the high scoring skateboard game – onto the Playstation Vita and working flawlessly. The game sold well, scored well and has gone on to appear on a number of other machines as well – spawning a sequel along the way.
Now Not a Hero is here – the latest game from the UK based studio and it marks a big departure for them. NOT A HERO, to use its proper title, is a fast paced, side scrolling shooting game that has some wacky characters, some outrageous bosses and over the top, high octane action. The game is on sale right now on the Steam sale – so give it a try.
