Okay, I've heard that backlit buttons AND internal rumble were confirmed for the 3DS via some mysterious PDF file. I've seen it in Japanese. But I'm not quite sure what everyone else is looking at.

Does the file contain any other tidbits? Where might I find this file? The 3DS is looking more and more like the ULTIMATE system. o_o

Hey Rei,

I was googlin' around and it seems people that can read Japanese are saying there's no where in the PDF that says there is backlit buttons. Perhaps you can confirm this and probably get David to write it in his blog. :P

@Dan

Well, that's very disappointing.
Either Google translate failed or many, many blogs failed and claimed to have it say backlit buttons in the PDF...
If this is true, then David now has a chance to pwn those lying blogs. :/

Unfortunately, it'll take more than Google Translate to confirm that.

posted that a while ago

Hello! I am new! It makes me feel disappointed!

I heard of back lit buttons, but not rumble. I've not even seen any text for my self, so I call fake for now, but that sounds pretty cool.

It's usually one blog that comes up with it, the other blogs just follow it like sheep and claim the news as their own. I noticed that this blog doesn't do that, this blog never claimed back lit buttons or listed the 'launch' titles as confirmed news.

Guh. This is kind of unrelated, but your userpic just creeps me out WAY too much. That is partially why I can't play MM. :S
