Announcement: User Review and Demo Impressions

Hey guys! We’re here to announce two new features for 3DSConnect.com. The first one we’d like to announce is our User Review feature.

We’re giving you guys, our readers a chance to post their written reviews on 3DSConnect. That’s right; you don’t need to be a member of the 3DSConnect team to post reviews anymore. All you need to do is email us your review (make sure you include stuff like “Loved/Hated” run-down and of course a score out of ten, whole number only). Reviews can be sent to office[@]3dsconnect.com (remove brackets) with the subject header being “USER REVIEW”. If five of your reviews are posted on 3DSConnect, you will be given a 3DSConnect author account, which means you can become part of the team!

Our second brand spanking new feature is Demo Impressions. Demo Impressions will be written primarily by Francisco, our news correspondent. Francisco will simply share his thoughts on the latest demos released via the eShop!

You can find the homepage for both of these features under the “Features” tab on the navigational menu.
