Information Update // Noticias Nuevas - Nintendo 3DS & PSVita

Information Update - Nintendo 3DS


1.- Popular technology blog CNET has spectacularly revealed that the Wii U will be at this years CES event which starts January 10th.
More After the Break...




There’s no information regarding which games will be shown off at the event, or whether we will be shown the same demos which we saw revealed at E3. Anyway, it’s certainly exciting news!


Nintendo is bringing the Wii U to CES and I’ll be getting more hands-on with the tablet-console hybrid to build on my impressions from E3 2011. Nintendo has historically skipped over CES, but it’s great to hear the company will have a presence there in 2012.


We heard earlier today that Nintendo will be showing off the Wii U at CES in January but itnow appears as though it will be nothing more than a replay of the E3 2011 showing. So that means it’s unlikely that we will see any real games for the system other than the tech demos that were shown off at E3 last year.


“Nintendo of America, working with the 2012 International CES management, will offer demos of the upcoming Wii U console to members of the media who did not see the system at the 2011 E3 Expo. However, Nintendo will not have a booth at CES, nor does it plan to include any games, experiences or information beyond what was available at the 2011 E3 Expo. Production and development efforts remain on track for the Wii U launch, which will take place between the start of the 2012 E3 Expo in June, and the end of 2012.”


2.- Whilst The Legend of Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma has always maintained that the official Legend Of Zelda timeline would remain confidential, the forthcoming Hyrule Historiawill give us the first official look at the Legend of Zelda timeline. Here’s the contents:

History of Hyrule: Finally Revealed, The Genealogy of the Legend


The Timeline of Hyrule, Kingdom of the Gods: 68
The Legend of Gods and the Hero of Time: 70
The Downfall of Hyrule and the Last Hero: 92
The Twilight Realm and the Hero’s Descendant: 110
The Hero of Wind and the New World: 122
Square Enix has uploaded eight minutes of Kingdom Hearts: Dream Drop Distancefootage from Jump Fiesta. The highly anticipated game is due to be released in Japan sometime during March, but there’s still no firm release date for the West.

Capcom has uploaded the first television commercial for Resident Evil Revelations. The trailer mixes the game’s stunning in-game visuals with CGI to help create an explosive trailer. Resident Evil: Revelations goes on sale January 27th in Europe and February 7th in North America.

Marvelous AQL has released a new trailer for Harvest Moon: The Land’s Origins that shows off quite a lot off the game. 

A rating from the ESRB has revealed that Prince of Persia on the Game Boy Color is coming to the eShop via the Virtual Console in North America. The release date, however, has not been announced. 

Square Enix has updated the official site for Bravely Default: Flying Fairy with new footage that shows a town in the game. You can check for it after the break, or you can check it out, along with many other clips, in the official gallery by going to their website, which you can click here to see. 

A retailer listing from Japan has revealed that Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D will have two new camera modes including a First Person mode and an over-the-shoulder camera mode. The game also has the added feature of allowing you to walk while crouching. 

There are a few screenshots of Kid Icarus as a 3D Classics that show off various parts of the game. You can check for them after the break.

3.- Kotaku Japan has conducted a test to how see loading times for retail based PlayStation Vita games faire against digital copies. The results show that loading times between the digital and physical versions of Uncharted: Golden Abyss and Army Corps of Hell aren’t the same. There’s a four second delay between them, leading Kotaku to favour retail copies.

When any system launches there’s usually some teething problems and this appears to be the case with the PlayStation Vita. A few Japanese Vita owners have had issues with the system freezing or the touch-screen being unresponsive. Let’s hope Sony irons out these issues when the system goes on sale in the West on February 22nd.

User from YouTube, Skyghene22, uploaded this video that show off the gaming interface, trophy system and Welcome Park features of the PlayStation Vita.

By watching the video you can see the fluidity of the system, a very smartphone like interface with beautiful transitions and bright, vivid colors popping off of that 5 inch OLED screen.

Namco Bandi Games Community Manager Rich Bantegui has released the first footage of Shinobido 2 for the PlayStation Vita.

We’re nearly two months away from the launch of the PS Vita here in North America and Europe on February 22nd, 2012 – and as many of you know Namco Bandi Games will be bringing Acquire’s epic assassin tale of vengeance and betrayal to the PS Vita on day one!


4.- Reports are starting to roll in now about Day One sales figures of the PlayStation Vita launch in Japan.
Select stores are reporting to have sell through of that particular version at around 85%. The 3G version is currently at around 56%.
The top-selling games are Everybody’s Golf 6, Uncharted and Dynasty Warriors, with the DLC-based 30FPS Ridge Racer ‘uncharacteristically’ slow.


Stock of memory cards is low, with the 32GB and 16GB units sold out. 90% of Vita buyers bought a memory card.

Expect more detailed sales numbers throughout the next few days.



Unit 13 is designed for fast action, hard-hitting, third-person shooter gameplay with dual-analog precision and unique touch gameplay on the PlayStation Vita. As you make your way through the variety of missions, you unlock the right to take on the tougher High Value Target (HVT) enemy battles.

Unit 13 utilizes Vitas WiFi and 3G functionality for social gaming and competition with friends and opponents from around the world. Unit 13′s live notification interface, enabled through 3G, keeps players up to date on leaderboard positions, new “Daily Challenge” content, new unlocks, shared High Value Target missions, and challenges from friends as they move past you on the leaderboards. In Co-op, you can play Unit 13 with a friend all with voice chat enabled through the PlayStation Vita. Coop teams compete for top positions on the global, regional, and friend mission leaderboards.



We reported earlier today that some early adopters of the PlayStation Vita were having problems with the hardware either freezing up or the touch screen being unresponsive. Well, it seems Sony has noticed all the videos that have appeared on YouTube over the weekend and have offered an official apology. Here it is (badly) translated:


“Currently, special office and information center PlayStation Vita, has gotten more inquiries contact usually by the time zone we call remained a difficult tie. Apologize for any inconvenience to customers, Sorry.

“PlayStation Vita some of the inquiries have been received about the PlayStation Vita, by you doing your handy and easy, some cases improved. So we offer a Q & A below, before submitting an inquiry, try you for your check, thank you.”
