Nintendo is publishing a pair of youth-oriented 3DS games in North America later this year to spur sales of its 2DS system, which will drop in price to $80 starting on May 20.

New on Nintendo’s publishing schedule are English-language versions of the 3DS games Style Savvy: Fashion Forward and Disney Magical World 2, both of which previously debuted in Japan.

The third entry in Nintendo’s Style Savvy series, Fashion Forward puts players in charge of a fashion boutique, where they must gauge customer tastes and develop color-matching and coordination skills in order to craft ideal outfits. The previous game in the series, Style Savvy: Trendsetters, hit the 3DS in North America in 2012, and the original Style Savvy game recently premiered as a Wii U Virtual Console title.

Nintendo notes that players can pick up real-world fashion tips by playing Fashion Forward and mastering its outfit-designing mechanics.

“Players can immerse themselves in a world of fashion by owning a boutique, designing clothes,Wednesday. “When players make themselves look good, customers who visit their boutiques might start adopting the player’s style. The game includes over 19,000 different articles of clothing, items and accessories to choose from. Players can also learn real-world fashion tips from the Fashion 101 guide.”

Fashion Forward also includes support for Nintendo’s amiibo toys, and players can unlock special in-game items by scanning specific figures.

Disney Magical World 2, slated for release in North America this fall, is an Animal Crossing-inspired adventure game for the 3DS developed by Bandai Namco. The game includes six Disney-themed worlds filled with familiar characters, including a wintry setting based on Disney’s 2013 animated film Frozen.

Style Savvy: Fashion Forward will launch at retail and via the 3DS eShop on August 19. Disney Magical World 2 premieres on October 14.

The best accessories to use with Delta game emulator

Once Apple opened the floodgates and allowed emulators onto the App Store, Delta was one of the first on the scene. This Nintendo emulator allows you to load up your ROMs for all the classic systems, from the NES and Game Boy to the N64 and DS. With so much nostalgia suddenly available right on your phone, it's no wonder that Delta has become one of the most downloaded apps on the store. And while the emulator itself is fantastic, none of these games were intended to be played on your iPhone -- and more specifically, with the touchpad. Even the old Game Boy games can feel cramped and cluttered when you are blocking parts of the screen with your thumbs, but there are plenty of handy accessories to make your iPhone the perfect platform for Delta games.
Backbone Controller

The Backbone controller has been around for a few years and is the perfect combination of convenience and quality. It easily slides onto your iPhone and adds two thumbsticks, a D-pad, four face buttons, and two pairs of triggers. It's more than enough for any game you could emulate with Delta. The best part is that it allows you to view your screen with no obstructions so you can fully enjoy your gaming experience.

Call of Duty competitor XDefiant is finally coming out this month

Ubisoft's XDefiant, a first-person shooter meant to take on the likes of Call of Duty, will finally get a wide release and enter its Preseason on May 21.

Ubisoft San Francisco announced XDefiant in July 2021 and has held several rounds of testing for the game since then. It's a 6v6 competitive shooter being worked on by former Call of Duty developers, where the main hook is that each faction is based on a Ubisoft franchise. Series like Ghost Recon, Splinter Cell, The Division, Far Cry, and Watch Dogs are all represented here. After years of testing, Ubisoft initially promised a wide release for XDefiant sometime around September or October of 2023, but delayed the game after a public test session.
