Information Update - Nintendo 3DS

1.- A survey conducted in Japan shows that a third of consumers who purchased the Nintendo 3DS were disappointed with their decision. 

More After the Break...

The survey was conducted after the price cut so clearly a few of those surveyed would be feeling a little bitter. Still it’s an interesting statistic.

• 49.4% felt the current line-up was not adequate, and were “disappointed”, despite knowing upcoming games.
• 45.7% weren’t planning or were undecided whether to buy Super Mario 3D Land orMario Kart 7.
• 5.4% said they weren’t intending to buy one after the price drop – out of these 42.1% blamed the current selection of games. 15.3% revealed that they would never buy one, ever.

2.- Nintendo released their annual report today, and within the report the Kyoto based company revealed exactly how many copies were sold of each of the main Pokemon games for the Nintendo DS, as of March 2011.

Title	Year (U.S.)	Sales to date (global)
Pokémon Diamond/Pearl	2007	17.57 million
Pokémon Platinum	2009	7.43 million
Pokémon HeartGold/SoulSilver	2010	11.90 million
Pokémon Black/White	2011	11.51 million

3.- In preparation for the price drop of the 3DS, Nintendo has sent out a notification via SpotPass to remind customers to connect to the eShop before August 12th so they’re eligible for the free games as a result of being an early adopter.

"To our loyal customers, we would like to offer you 20 downloadable games from the Nintendo eshop at no charge. These free games are available to Nintendo 3DS owners who connect* to the nintendo eshop at least once before 11:59 p.m. Easter/8:59 p.m. Pacific time on Aug 11, 2011. You will automatically be registered as a 3DS Ambassador.

Starting Sept. 1, Ambassadors will be able to download 10 NES Virtual Console games at no charge and before they are available to the public. These games, including Super Mario Bros, Donkey Kong Jr., Balloon Fight, Ice Climber and the Legend of Zelda, are slated to become paid downloadable games, but Ambassadors get them early for free. Later in the year, once the paid version of the games are available in the Nintendo eshop, Ambassadors can download any of the remaining games or any of the updated versions at no cost.

By the end of 2011, Nintendo will provide Ambassadors with 10 Gamb Boy Advance Virtual Console games. These include games like Yoshi’s Island: Super Mario ADvance 3, Mario Kart : Super Circuit, Metroid Fusion, WarioWare INc: Mega Microgame$ and Mario vs. Donkey Kong. The games will be available exclusively to Ambassadors and Nintendo currently has no plans to make these 10 games available to the general public on the Nintendo 3DS in the future.

More details about this program will be announced in the future.

4.- Namco Bandai has released the first trailer for their “hero dispatch agency” simulation game Brave Companyand it has revealed quite a bit about the game. The game takes place on an island overrun by demons. In order to save the world, you form the hero dispatch agency known as Brave Company.

Your company’s heroes will go on over 100 different quests that range from fighting monsters to seeking out treasure.

5.- Jack Niida, the producer of Cave Story 3D has shared that the game will feature new items, along with hidden characters from other NIS America creations. 

Familiar stages of the original game have been expanded with new areas to explore and the original game won’t be included in Cave Story 3D because there isn’t enough space on the 3DS card. Cave Story 3D will launch this November.

6.- Robert Bowling, Infinity Wards Creative Strategist, believes that Wii owners can have an ‘awesome Call of Duty experience on Wii’. Infinity Ward are busy creating Modern Warfare 3 for Xbox 360, PC and PlayStation 3 whilst Treyarch is porting the game across to Wii.

“The Wii has grown so much as a platform. The great thing is Treyarch proved that you can have an awesome experience on the Wii with Call of Duty. They’ll actually be handling that for Modern Warfare 3.”

7.- Edmund McMillen, one of the developers behind the critically acclaimed Super Meat Boy, believes that there are only two good motion controlled games on the market. McMillen has apparently played the majority of games for Wii but is only really convinced by two of them; Wii Sports and The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword.
