It wasn’t all about new games at Nintendo’s 3DS Conference. Already announced games were further explored. One such game was Mario Kart 7. Nintendo has revealed new items, a new racer, a new way to control and a Japanese release date.

First, the weapons and power ups. Nintendo is introducing a power up where you will be able to turn into metal, obviously a reference to the Metal Mario of Super Mario 64. Another new item is the Fire Flower, a staple in the series.

There is a new racer coming into the series as well. For the first time, players will be able to control Latiku, that camera man on the cloud, which will be his kart.

The third piece of information is a new control scheme. The gyroscope will be used for the first time in the series as Nintendo will introduce a first person view.

Finally, a release date. December 7. Please take note that this is for Japan only.

With just a month away from release, Nintendo have now released a Professor Layton and the Last Specter that better details the perils that Layton & Company will have to outwit in their first ever adventure. In the clip, a large and mysterious giant known as the “Specter” is seen attacking a town and demolishing buildings one by one.

As usual, Layton has to find the logic behind these happenings and can be seen questioning several villagers to learn more. Curiousity isn’t always a good thing though, as by the end of the clip we see the top-hatted fellow right landing himself right into the path of the dark beast itself.

Check out the new trailer below and mark your calenders as Professor Layton and the Last Specter lands on the Nintendo DS October 17th!

During Nintendo’s 3DS Conference 2011 they announced a bit of information for Love Plus 3DS. The game will be released in Japan on December 8th and it will cost those looking to buy the title ¥6,980. During the conference a three minute video was shown off to those in attendance and viewing online.

Konami quickly released the video online for everyone to see, and you can catch it below. The video shows off a number of features including the gyro system that will allow players to view the girls at different angles. Though the title is coming out during the holidays in Japan, I have serious doubts this title will see the light of day in the West despite a portion of gamers wishing it would.

Lovers of Vocaloids should be glad to hear that a new Vocaloid game is being developed for the Nintendo 3DS. The official name for the game is Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai and will focus heavily on popular Vocaloid Hatsune Miku. The title will also have other Vocaloids as well though no list of confirmed characters was announced alongside the game.

The game will feature Nendoroid styled characters and will be a rhythm based title. Unfortunately no other information was given at that time, but from footage shown during the conference it seems that the game will allow players to use the Augmented Reality cards and camera to hold their own mini-concerts on their desktops. The title will be released in March of 2012 in Japan, though Western release is unlikely but we can dream.

3DS users can start preparing themselves for a new update and by the looks of it, this one will certainly be worth those extra blocks. Iwata announced that this November, Nintendo will be giving out an update that adds in a 3D video capture mode to the 3DS, allowing users to record 3D video on the system.

Also shown to be included was a Mii Streetpass Plaza upgrade, with new unspecified features to be added in for those who use the function. The clip shown by Iwata at the 3DS Conference also showed users replacing photos with their Mii personas, which should come in handy for those looking to show off their creations in brand new ways.

After climbing the tower and finishing those puzzles, it’s nice to know that we have some new toys to play with in just a couple months. As soon as an official date is announced for this firmware upgrade, we will sure to let you know so stay tuned to this developing story.
