For weeks, rumors regarding Nintendo’s upcoming 3DS event have spread across the internet. Many people who claim to be in the know have explained that a handful of games will be announced, most likely to spur interest in the new handheld. Two of the proposed rumors have finally come true in the form of Monster Hunter 3G, a 3DS enhanced version of the Wii exclusive, and a peripheral that acts as another slider pad. Both of the surprising announcements come way of the popular Japanese gaming magazine Famitsu.
