Information Update - Nintendo 3DS


1.- Tales of the Abyss arrives in Europe on the 10th of November, and here are some screenshots of the game. It is looking quite nicely, I wonder how it'll do in 3D:

More After the Break...

The game is looking quite amazing for now, I hope it stays that way! Now I have two titles to buy in November: this and Mario Kart (I think it is coming out November).

2.- Namco Bandai has sent out a press release confirming One Piece: Unlimited Cruise Special will be heading to Europe in November. One Piece: Unlimited Cruise Special combines episodes 1 and 2 of the original Wii game into one cartridge along with some new content including a character made specifically for the game. 

No news yet on whether the game will also see a release in other regions.

Here are some screenshots of the game:

3.- Outspoken industry analyst Michael Pachter is under the impression that Sony’s forthcoming PlayStation Vita will rob Nintendo of precious market space. Pachter also believes that Sony’s handheld will most “likely contribute to further declines in Nintendo’s share price”. 

Do you believe that the PlayStation Vita is as big a threat to Nintendo as Pachter is making out to be?

“We continue to believe that handheld game sales will suffer in correlation to the growth of smart phone sales, although we think that the handheld games business will remain a healthy niche for the foreseeable future,” he said in an investor note.

“With that said, Sony’s announcement of PS Vita pricing (at $249) led many investors to believe that Sony and Nintendo will divide a shrinking handheld market, and likely contributed to further declines in Nintendo’s share price.”

“Nintendo, in particular, saw its share price decline, largely due to continuing uncertainty about its handheld business, and skepticism about its planned launch of the Wii U next year,” he added.

“The company did not provide specs or pricing for the device although the hardware was truly impressive, it is impossible to determine whether it will succeed or fail without knowing how it compares to the competition in terms of pricing and performance.”

Information Update - Nintendo 3DS

1.- Tales of the Abyss llega a Europa el 10 de Noviembre, y he aquí algunas pantallas del juego. No puedo esperar a ver qué tal estarán en 3D:

El juego parece alucinante y ya tengo dos listos para comprar en Noviembre: Éste y Mario Kart (Yo estoy convencido de que llegará en Noviembre).

2.- Namco Bandai ha confirmado que One Piece: Unlimited Cruise Special llegará a Europa en Noviembre también. One Piece: Unlimited Cruise Special combina los episodios 1 y 2 de los juegos de Wii en una tarjeta, e incluyen además contenido nuevo, como un personaje especial. 

No se ha dicho nada sobre la salida del juego en otras regiones, pero aquí hay algunas pantallas:

3.- El analista industrial Michael Pachter está con la impresión de que la PSVita de Sony quitará a Nintendo una parte de su mercado de acciones. Pachter también cree que Sony contribuirá a su descenso en el mercado de consolas portátiles. Por muy analista que sea, a mí no me parece que eso sea correcto. Espero que la gente se de cuenta de que es un smartphone sin el phone...
