- Model and animation (internal: BMD, BCA, KCL, external: DAE and OBJ) importing and exporting has been heavily re-factored and rewritten to make it much simpler and cleaner through a "Loaders" and "Writers" interface using a common ModelBase class.
- DAE importing has been rewritten from scratch to use XSD-generated XML classes (deserialisation).

In what seems to be a new form of parental control, New 3DS consoles will come with a pre-installed filter which limits what websites can be visited using the built in web browser.

The filter can be turned off for a fee of 30 yen ($0.29), which is deducted immediately upon registering a valid credit card. According to Nintendo, the filter will be used to "prevent children from looking at harmful websites" on the New 3DS, and the fee (and credit card registration) is required so that children cannot disable the filter without their parents' consent.

The 3DS has been involved in not so child-friendly activities in the past, and it looks like this browser filter might be Nintendo's way to make the New 3DS a more child-safe successor.

That looks really neat o,o
Did you use the same method of replacing the model as you did in the deku link demo, with splitting an obj into different parts?
If so, could you maybe explain into detail how this is done?

No, this was actually done using the 'proper' method of using a DAE model with skinning. I only had to replace the mesh (skeleton not edited) and apply weight painting as the skeleton and animations matched up really well (luck). I'll try to post a tutorial tonight or tomorrow with this example.

Wait, so anyone can download the demo and play on your 3DS? Or is it going to be playable at some event?
