Information Update - Nintendo 3DS

1.- Despite initial lacklustre sales for the superb Rayman Origins on Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and 3DS, Ubisoft has surprisingly announced that the game was profitable for the company.

More After the Break...

Ubisoft wouldn’t provide exact sales figures for the game, but they did say that there’s a chance that the game will be a long-term seller for the company.


Ubisoft has confirmed today that Assassins Creed 3 will be released on October 30th. Ubisoft has already mentioned that Assassins Creed is currently in the works for Wii U and is scheduled to be released sometime this year. Hopefully we will also be seeing Wii U in October.

2.- Konami in the US has finally confirmed that North American gamers will get the chance to download the Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D demo tomorrow on the Nintendo 3DS eShop. Konami Europe has already confirmed that Europeans will be able to download the demo of Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D tomorrow.

Capcom has yet to confirm whether Monster Hunter Tri G for the Nintendo 3DS will be coming to the West, but Nintendo magazine Nintendo Gamer has hinted that it will. An extract of their recent review for Monster Hunter Tri G suggests that Europe will get the game sometime later this year, though they don’t specify when.

Tri G is a great reworking of what was already a wonderful game, and probably has more content than any other 3DS title available – so it’s just a pity we won’t get to play it until later this year. What is this, the ’90s?
Tri G has everything that makes Monster Hunter great, but in the absence of online it’s probably better to wait until a bit later in the year for the European release.

3.- Yosuke Hayashi, the development head over at Team Ninja has expressed an interest in creating a Dead or Alive X Virtua Fighter crossover game. Team Ninja already has Ninja Gaiden 3 in development for Wii U, and has also mentioned that there’s a possibility we could get Dead or Alive on Nintendo’s forthcoming home console. Here’s what Hayashi had to say about creating a Dead or Alive X Virtua Fighter crossover.

“In terms of collaboration titles, there are staff on our team who just love fighting games and if there was any chance to do that we’d actively, possibly do that.

“The first 3D game I played was Virtua Fighter, that’s the IP I respect most. Virtua Fighter was the father of 3D gaming, so it’s very well respected.”

There will be eight songs available as paid downloadable content for Theatrhythm Final Fantasy when it’s released, and a total of fifty songs over the course of the game’s existence. The initial songs, include:

• Final Fantasy II – Battle Scene 1
• Final Fantasy IV – The Final Battle
• Final Fantasy XI – Fighters of the Crystal
• Final Fantasy XIII – Fighting Fate
• Final Fantasy V – In Search of Light
• Final Fantasy VII – Cosmo Canyon
• Final Fantasy VIII – Ride On
• Final Fantasy X – Someday the Dream Will End

…and there’s a trailer after the break that’s focused on the DLC.


4.- According to a representative from Atari, RollerCoaster Tycoon 3D, which was set for release in March, has been placed on hold. And, unfortunately, there was no reason given either, so we’ll have to wait and see what happens next.
