Information Update - Nintendo 3DS


1.- GameTrailers have revealed their ten most anticipated games of E3 2012 and Nintendo’s unannounced Wii U games have come out on top. The list includes the usual suspects such as Assassin’s Creed 3 and Halo 4, but surprisingly Grand Theft Auto V is noticeably absent. What you do think of the list they’ve compiled?

David Gibson, Head of Software & Services for Macquarie Capital Securities Japan, has revealed via Twitter that it’s fairly unlikely that Capcom will bring Monster Huntrer Tri G for The Nintendo 3DS to the West due to below expected sales of Monster Hunter Tri on Wii.


@gibbogame could you say if there is any hope for Monster Hunter 3G will be localized in America anytime this year? ‪#MHfan‬

@LiteDrg0nS1ay3R capcom keep saying its unlikely as audience not there based on the wii game

Crystal Dynamics and Square Enix have released a gorgeous pre-E3 teaser trailer for the highly anticipated Tomb Raider 2013 reboot. The teaser footage was originally shown on GameTrailers and the site promises to show a full Tomb Raider reveal trailer on May 31st. Square Enix has yet to announce a Wii U version of the game. Would you like to see it on Wii U?

The Pokemon Company has announced that it plans to release a Pokemon Black & White 2 four-disc soundtrack in Japan on July 25th. The soundtrack will feature a staggering 173 tracks and will encompass all the music found throughout the game. Gamers who pick up the soundtrack will also be treated to new, unreleased tracks from Pokemon Black & White, Emerald, and Platinum, along with a 24 page color booklet which details the development of Pokemon Black & White 2.

Always one to hype up E3, Spike TV and GameTrailers Geoff Keighley has hinted onTwitter that we should be seeing the next generation of gaming revealed on Spike’s E3 coverage. Of course, he could be alluding to Wii U, or we could be given a tantalising glimpse at Sony or Microsoft’s next video game consoles.

2.- Mario Tennis Open was released in Europe today. So far, the game has received mixed reviews and holds a score of 70/100 on Metacritic. IGN has criticized the game for “never allowing itself to break out of a more typical tennis mold to be something unique” and gave it a 6.5/10.

GameTrailers praised the game’s multiplayer and online functionality and awarded it with an 8.1/10. Mario Tennis Open is now available to purchase in all regions. Although most reviews were above average, do you think Mario’s new game will be on the list of the best-selling software, as his games were last week?

Capcom has decided to reveal the official box art for Resident Evil 6 via the Resident EvilTwitter account. Capcom has yet to confirm whether or not we will be graced with a Wii U version, but fingers are firmly crossed for an announcement. Resident Evil 6 launches on Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and PC on October 2nd.

We heard rumours a while back that EA were preparing a sequel to the immensely popular Need for Speed: Most Wanted and now the title has been confirmed. The news broke via an E3 booth schedule by Twitch TV which shows that both Need For Speed: Most Wanted 2, and the soon to be released Battlefield 3 DLC, will be playable at EA’s E3 booth.

Nintendo has created a Wii U Facebook page to keep fans up to date with official information from the company. The fact that they’ve just created a Wii U Facebook page clearly suggests that the Wii U name isn’t going to change as the early rumours proposed. You can like the official Wii U Facebook page here.

Destructoid has shared their predictions for E3 2012 and, mixed in with their predictions are the predictions of Jesse Divnich, an industry analyst. He believes that:
Retro Studios is working on Metroid Prime 4 for the Wii U.
Pikmin 3 won’t be a day-one launch title.
Rayman Legends will be playable during the show.
The Wii U won’t up-scale Wii games to high-definition.
Nintendo won’t change the name of the Wii U.
Black Ops 2 won’t come to the Wii U.
There will be news about the next Smash Bros. title.

But what do you think? Would you agree? Disagree? I’ll do a “general predictions for E3 2012″ post in the next few days, so for now, focus on Divnich’s expectations. Farfetched? Likely? Share your thoughts below.
