467 - 01/18/15 Bobby Blackwolf Show - Minigame Patent Expiring, Nintendo's New 3DS
- Namco's patent on minigames being available during loading screens expires later this year! Bring on the innovation?
- Nintendo has announced the New 3DS XL for America, but they assume you already have a way to charge it.
- This segues into discussing how 3DS cartridge save games are not necessarily saved on the cartridge anymore.
- It has finally been confirmed that you can only store one set of game data on an Amiibo at a time - so when Mario Party 10 comes out, say goodbye to your Smash Bros data.
- Then we take calls about Nintendo's lack of A/C Adapter, the podcasting patent, Fantasy Life, and third party games on Nintendo plaftorms.

We here in the UK, have been putting up with Nintendo not including a power adapter for years. I stood for it, but I stands for it no more! If you want to rebel upon this mockery of a decision, then raise your fist in the air right now. Talk about podcast, or liver interaction.
But on a serious note, I think they are doing this to save space in the box, without a power cord in the box, you can pretty much get more of those boxes in a shipping crate. I am going off our boxes here in the UK because our power plugs are different, we have 3 pins, not 2. But honestly Nintendo, how much does it cost you really to include a plug, a dollar maybe, or even 2?
Listen to the Bobby Blackwolf show kids, you learn something, if you live outside of America, and you know when the Sith Lord of VOG posts something, it's going to be entertaining.
