Information Update - Nintendo 3DS


1.- Nintendo sold an incredible 207,000 units in Japan during the week of the price cut. This figure covers August 8th through to August 14th. 

More After the Break...

Clearly there were a lot of Japanese consumers holding off purchasing the device due to its original price point. No doubt Nintendo of Japan will be busy cracking open the champagne bottles.


2.- Apparently third-party developers are unable to offer free software on the Nintendo 3DS eShop. Developers can offer software at a minimum price but are unable to give away things for free. 

The limitation explains why third-party developers are unable to offer free demos similar to the ones found on Xbox Live and PlayStation Network. If they wish to offer a demo then it will be priced at 200 yen ($2)


3.- Straight out of this years Gamescom event in Germany comes some exclusive new footage of the frankly stunning Resident Evil: Revelations. 

The game is currently scheduled for release sometime in early 2012.


4.- Mike Hayes, Sega West’s CEO, recently spoke to VG247 about a range of topics concerning Sega. Interestingly enough Hayes believes that Sony’s PlayStation Vita is going to be able to do a lot more than the Nintendo 3DS from a hardcore gamers perspective, though he confesses that they are both ‘two completely different beasts’.

Lyle Hall and Matthew Seymour at Heavy Iron Studios have told GamesIndustry.Biz that the PlayStation Vita launch will be a “car wreck”. They believe that if people weren’t prepared to pay $249 for a Nintendo 3DS then there’s absolutely no way everyday consumers would want to purchase a PlayStation Vita at $299.

5.- Folks in the UK can now pick up eShop cards at both Sainsbury’s and ASDA stores. This means that if you lack a credit card you’ll still be able to pick up goodies via the Virtual Console, 3DSWare and DSiWare.

6.- There’s plenty of people online that seem convinced Nintendo is doomed and that the best way out of their current predicament is if Apple purchased the company. It’s never going to happen. 

 

Anyway, an artist has designed what he thinks an Apple branded Nintendo 3DS would look like. It’s not how I would expect the console to look but check it out regardless.

Information Update - Nintendo 3DS


1.- Nintendo ha vendido unas increíbles 207,000 unidades en Japón durante la semana del corte de precio. Esta figura cubre del 8/8 al 14/8.

Claramente había un montón de japoneses esperando a la llegada del corte de precio. No me extrañaría que Nintendo de Japón esté descorchando ahora botellas de champán para celebrarlo.


2.- Aparentemente los propietarios de terceras empresas no son capaces de dar contenido gratuito en la Nintendo 3DS eShop. Los desarrolladores pueden ofrecer el programa a un precio mínimo, pero no gratis. 

Si desean ofrecer un demo, será por al menos 200 Yen ($2)


3.- Recién sacado del Gamescon de Alemania de este año, he aquí un tráiler nuevo, junto a un poco de gameplay, de Resident Evil: Revelations. 

El juego saldrá en 2012.


4.- Mike Hayes, Sega West’s CEO, habló recientemente con VG247 sobre un puñado de proyectos que conciernen a Sega. Hayes cree que la Sony’s PlayStation Vita cree que podrá hacer muchas m ás cosas que la 3DS desde un punto de vista hardcore, pero admite que compararlas es imposible, son  "dos bestias completamente distintas".

Lyle Hall y Matthew Seymour de Heavy Iron Studios han dicho que la PlayStation Vita será un fracaso. Creen que si la gente no paga $249 por una 3DS, entonces está claro que no van a compara una Vita a $299.
