Theatrhythm’s box art features “Nintendo Network” logo

After Twitter user @joshua_x_ tweeted a picture of Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy’s box art, some people pointed out the “Nintendo Network” logo in the corner of the box. Nintendo DS and Wii owners know that in the corner of boxes for games with online play there was a logo for “Nintendo Wi-Fi Connection.” Unless Nintendo has simply changed the name of their online service, this sounds like it could be something new for upcoming online games. Mario Kart 7, a recently released 3DS game with online multiplayer, didn’t feature this logo, and it seems that Theatrhythm may be the first to do so.

So what is this mysterious logo for? Some are speculating that this will be a unified online service for both Wii U and 3DS, and that we’ll hear about this at Nintendo’s Japanese investor conference next Thursday (January 26). For now we can only guess, but the answer to this mystery may be revealed very soon!

Nintendo has released a new trailer for Kid Icarus: Uprising. Just when you thought this game couldn’t get any more cheesy, a tentacled enemy known as the “space kraken” makes an appearance. After defeating said enemy, Pit exclaims, “Calamari!” Palutena then says, “What a sucker.” Yeah the dialogue is pretty dumb, but at least they are committing to horrible dialogue.

As more and more people start to play around with their PSV’s, we are starting to learn more about the handheld. A feature we didn’t fully know about is the ability to take in-game screenshots in seemingly any game for the Vita. These screenshots are saved in JPG format and are in native resolution, bringing us some beautiful screenshots. The screenshot above was obtained from this feature and was posted on NeoGAF.

Happy PS Vita launch, Japan!

Although it will be a couple months until the rest of the world sees Sony’s newest handheld, the Japanese have already got their hands on Vita systems. This is an exciting time as now both Sony and Nintendo have gotten their systems out and we will begin to get a lot of great games on both systems. Once Vita launches in all territories, we’ll be able to see what the market for dedicated handheld gaming devices looks like a little better, and we’ll be able to see which analysts were right.

Did anybody import a Vita? If not, how much harder is the wait for the Vita now that you know the Japanese are playing it?
