The Last Story Confirmed for North America

Posted Feb 22, 2012 at 5:51PM EST by Listed in: Wii Tags: fatal frame, Fire Emblem, mario tennis, nintendo direct, the last story, xenoblade chronicle

Deal with it, Brazil.

If you tuned in for Nintendo’s Nintendo Direct broadcast this morning, you were treated to yet another incredibly boring video with a few spread out game trailers. However, if you managed to stick through the thing until close to the end, you’re also aware of what we’re about to reveal here on the site: Mistwalker’s insanely popular RPG, The Last Story, is headed to North America.

The game, which was published by Nintendo in Europe and Japan, will be distributed by XSEED Games. There’s no official release date as of yet; all we know is that you can expect to see the game sometime in 2012. This is the second good bit of news for Nintendo fans, following the Xenoblade Chronicles release date announcement earlier today.

If you didn’t watch the Nintendo Direct broadcast, you can watch it below for information on Kid Icarus, Fire Emblem, Fatal Frame and – gasp! – Mario Tennis:

Are you amped to see more RPGs coming to the Wii in 2012? Also, how awkward is Reggie Fils-Aime?

Skyrim Patch 1.4 Details

Posted Jan 20, 2012 at 4:30PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: Bethesda, patch 1.4, skyrim

Bethesda releases full patch notes for their latest Skyrim update, now in the certification testing.

It seems like it’s been forever since the launch of Skyrim, but millions of gamers are still spending their free time slaying dragons and “accidentally” murdering their followers. And, as is customary with Bethesda games, Skyrim still has a fair few issues interfering with players’ ability to fully enjoy the game.

The company is more than aware of Skyrim’s issues and has been working non-stop to get them fixed –especially the ever-present PS3 bug that makes the game nearly unplayable for some users.

Diablo III to Receive Major Changes

Posted Jan 20, 2012 at 4:00PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: Blizzard, diablo iii, jay wilson

Blizzard is tweaking their dungeon-crawling opus in response to beta user feedback.

Diablo III’s beta has been trucking steadily along, and while we did receive a bit of a tip in the form of a leaked release date, news has been relatively scarce. Essentially, we know that the beta is in progress and that the game is set for release sometime this year – there haven’t been any big bombshells.

Today’s news marks the biggest tidbit we’ve gotten on the subject. Diablo’s director, Jay Wilson, made a statement on the official Diablo blog that the Blizzard team would be tweaking some of the in-game systems thanks to player feedback. Here’s a list of some of the changes mentioned:

Removal of Scrolls of Identification

Removal of Cauldron of Jordan

Removal of Nephalem Cubes

Adjustment of core character stats

Common items are no longer salvageable

Blacksmiths can now salvage items

Addition of a dedicated potions button

Removal of Mystic artisan

You can view the full details of Diablo III’s upcoming updates by following the source link at the bottom of this post. It looks like Blizzard is doing some serious work on the game’s mechanics; hopefully this won’t have an effect on the final release date.

Have you been playing the Diablo III beta? What are your thoughts?

AbleGamers gives SWTOR Game of the Year

Posted Jan 20, 2012 at 3:30PM EST by Listed in: MMORPG Tags: BioWare, Star Wars, swtor, the old republic

The charity, dedicated to bringing gaming to disabled individuals worldwide, celebrates the deep accessibility options present in Bioware’s MMO.

If you’ve never heard of AbleGamers, here’s the scoop: The organization, founded in 2004, focuses on bringing expensive accessibility technology to gamers with disabilities, thus enriching their lives by providing them with fun entertainment and a method for interacting with the online world. AbleGamers also lobbies for accessibility options in games that allow people with a variety of disabilities to more easily enjoy the titles.

Star Wars: The Old Republic has just been named AbleGamers’ 2011 Accessible Mainstream Game of the Year, a title that, while not catchy, recognizes the immense work Bioware put into making their massive MMO accessible to all gamers.

The charity cited full subtitles, colorblind graphics setups and flexible control schemes as the primary reasons for the award, with president Mark Barlet noting, “It's very rare to see a game of this caliber initially released with so many accessibility options.” He also stated that thanks to Bioware’s work on accessibility, the great majority of disabled gamers would still be able to enjoy SWTOR.

Nice work, Bioware!

Do you think developers have a responsibility to make their games accessible to individuals with disabilities?

SOPA Shelved, PIPA Lives On

Posted Jan 20, 2012 at 2:39PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: harry reid, lamar smith, pipa, sopa

The Stop Online Piracy Act is off the table, but the Senate’s version may still have a chance.

Hell hath no fury like an Internet scorned – or at least that’s the lesson Congress learned on January 18th. Fueled by the blackouts of dozens of popular sites, the SOPA protests resulted in millions of phone calls and emails aimed at Congressional Representatives, which in turn led to SOPA and PIPA being postponed for further review.

Today, Senator Harry Reid announced that PIPA, essentially the Senate’s version of the Internet blacklist bill, would be pushed back until further notice. Additionally, Representative Lamar Smith, the primary author of SOPA, has issued a statement indicating that SOPA needs revisiting, but for the time being is off the table.

The threat is far from over – as long as members of Congress are willing to take pressure from entertainment industry lobbyists and sign bills they apparently don’t understand, the current freedom of the web will be at risk. In the meantime, it appears that the Internet has at least won the first round. We’ll just have to wait and see how the story develops in the future.

Did you do anything in protest to SOPA or PIPA?

Rumor: Outland, Beyond Good and Evil and From Dust Landing in a Bundle?

Posted Jan 20, 2012 at 2:04PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: beyond good and evil, from dust, outland, psn, Ubisoft, xbla

It appears that Ubisoft is planning a triple-pack box version of these games for release in stores.

The downloadable games market has never been stronger, with plenty of 2011’s best titles being delivered through Xbox Live Arcade, Steam and PSN. However, there’s always an argument for the in-store release of popular games – not everyone has a strong internet connection, and some gamers may be unaware of these exceptional titles.

It looks like Ubisoft feels the same way, as recent rumors indicate the existence of an Ubisoft Triple Pack that includes From Dust, Beyond Good & Evil HD and Outland. The Triple Pack is currently only showing up for European retailers and there’s no word from Ubisoft on whether they’re planning to bring the bundle to American gamers.

The Ubisoft Triple Pack is priced at £14.99 and apparently launches on March 23.

Do you think bundling downloadable titles and pushing them to stores is a good idea? I can definitely see a bonus when it comes to parents shopping for birthday or Christmas gifts – it’s not like a non-gaming family member would know where to find From Dust.

3DS Breaks 4 Million Sold in Japan

Posted Dec 26, 2011 at 3:36PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: mario kart 7, monster hunter 3g, nintendo 3ds, super mario 3d land

The Nintendo 3DS has a strong pre-Christmas week, moving over 500,000 systems.

It’s been a pretty great month for the Nintendo 3DS. Ever since the launch of Monster Hunter 3G, the device has been flying off shelves in Japan. Thanks to the last-minute rush of the holidays, Nintendo managed to snag 510,620 unit sales in just the last week – a 39 percent increase from the previous week.

The Nintendo 3DS outsold the PS Vita by 13%, but it’s not clear what, if anything, that could indicate, considering the relative age disparity of the units and possible availability problems with the Vita. Either way, Nintendo’s once-maligned system is making a strong case for its future.

Mario also had a good week, with fans snapping up over a million copies each of both Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land. There’s no longer any room for argument that the 3DS is a system in trouble – now it’s up to Nintendo to convince investors and get their finances back in the black.

In the meantime, we’ll just have to wait and see how these big Japanese successes ripple through the western market. They could mark a new trend for 3DS sales over here, but they might not.

What do you think?

FFXII-2 Tops Japanese Sales Charts

Posted Dec 22, 2011 at 4:57PM EST by Listed in: PS3 Tags: final fantasy xiii, golden abyss, mario kart 7, monster hunter, super mario 3d land, uncharted

Square Enix’s follow up to the maligned Final Fantasy XIII is off to a strong start in Japan. Duh.

If there’s one thing Japan loves, it’s Final Fantasy. So it’s not entirely surprising that Final Fantasy XIII-2, which launched earlier this week for Japanese gamers, has already rocketed to the top of the sales charts. The game moved 500,000 copies in its first week of release, toppling Monster Hunter 3G from the top of the charts and renewing confidence in the Final Fantasy brand.

Of course, Japanese sales trends aren’t always indicative of western performance (as I said, Monster Hunter was #1 until this happened), but it’s definitely good news for Square Enix that their hardcore fan base wasn’t so upset with FFXIII that they abandoned the brand entirely. The actual sales figure, around 525,000, accounts only for PS3 versions of the game.

Some Vita titles also managed to make the list, a good sign for the fledgling handheld. Here’s the top 20, for those of you that like tracking Japanese game sales:

01. [PS3] Final Fantasy XIII-2 (Square Enix, 12/15): 525,271

02. [3DS] Monster Hunter 3G (Capcom, 12/10): 208,427 (730,386)

03. [3DS] Mario Kart 7 (Nintendo, 12/01): 182,418 (789,871)

04. [3DS] Inazuma Eleven Go (Level-5, 12/15): 135,259

05. [3DS] Super Mario 3D Land (Nintendo, 11/03): 112,533 (837,143)

06. [WII] Kirby Wii (Nintendo, 10/27): 71,028 (398,516)

07. [PSV] Hot Shots Golf 6 (Sony, 12/17): 61,412

08. [PSV] Uncharted Golden Abyss (Sony, 12/17): 48,224

09. [WII] Just Dance Wii (Nintendo, 10/13): 44,021 (323,293)

10. [WII] Poke Park 2 (Pokemon, 11/12): 43,829 (164,018)

11. [WII] Wii Party (Pokemon, 07/08/10): 42,632 (2,129,236)

12. [NDS] Magician's Quest: The Merchant's Store of Sorcery (Konami, 12/10): 35,068 (81,110)

13. [WII] Mario & Sonic at London Olympics (Pokemon, 11/12): 34,351 (64,573)

14. [PS3] Shin Kamaitachi no Yoru (Chunsoft, 12/17): 33,686

15. [PS3] BlazBlue Continuum Shift Extend (Arc System Works, 12/17): 32,992

16. [WII] Wii Sports Resort (Nintendo, 11/11/10): 30,804 (734,046)

17. [WII] Taiko Drum Master Wii Ultimate Version (Namco Bandai, 11/23): 30,046 (100,284)

18. [PSV] Dynasty Warriors Next (Tecmo Koei, 12/17): 29,181

19. [PSV] Lord of Apocalypse (Square Enix, 12/17): 28,742

20. [NDS] One Piece Gigant Battle! 2 (Namco Bandai, 11/17): 28,406 (207,458)

Nintendo is clearly the king of the party in Japan, despite the temporary dominance of one game or another. In the meantime, we’ll just have to wait and see how FFXIII-2 is received here in the west. The previous game was the best selling in the history of the franchise, but also landed to lukewarm reviews.

How do you think FFXIII-2 will do when it’s released in the west? Also, don’t you just hate typing “FFXIII-2?”

If you’re having trouble keeping up with the steady stream of fall releases, Black Friday may provide you with a nice opportunity for picking up anything you’ve missed.

Black Friday is a strange tradition, but it’s one that holds quite a bit of marketing sway here in the States. I’m not sure why exactly everyone decided that the day after Thanksgiving was the best shopping day of the year, or why retailers decided to turn it into a cataclysmic shopping event, but that’s just the world we live in now. Black Friday sales amount for a seriously large percentage of holiday revenue.

If waiting in line at stores early in the morning and trampling other people to get electronic goods is your speed, Wal-Mart has you covered with this year’s ridiculous video game Black Friday offers.

Here’s a basic rundown on what you’ll find at the big-box retailer on shopping’s most intense day:

$199 Xbox Bundle 1

4G Xbox 360

3 months of Live

Gears of War 3

$50 Wal-Mart gift card

$199 Xbox Bundle 2

4G Xbox 360

Kinect

Kinect Adventures

$50 Wal-Mart gift card

$199 PS3 Bundle

160GB PS3

Ratchet & Clank All 4 One

LittleBigPlanet 2

3 months of Sony Plus

$100 Wii Bundle

Blue Nintendo Wii

Mario and Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games

If consoles aren’t your bag, the software deals are pretty sharp as well: For $28, you can pick up Gears of War 3, Arkham City, Call of Duty: Black Ops and Infamous 3. $15 snags you Kinect Sports 2 and Dance Central 2, and Yakuza 4 is on sale for $10. There are a number of other specials going on, but those seem to be the most high profile.

Is it worth braving the crowds and chaos to grab a good deal on games?

What in the World is Nintendo Patenting?

Posted Nov 4, 2011 at 5:19PM EST by Listed in: Wii U Tags: nintendo patents, wii u, Wiimote

The Japanese games developer has filed a new patent for a Wiimote touchpad accessory, but it’s not exactly clear what they’re planning on doing with it.

Nintendo is the champion of accessories. From the Zapper to the Wii wheel, nearly every Nintendo console generation has been marked with some sort of game-specific add-on. Just look at the Wii controller section of your favorite big-box retailer if you want to see this in action.

Now, it looks like Nintendo is plotting yet another add-on for the Wiimote, likely aimed at its upcoming Wii U device.

Essentially, you slide this thingamajig onto the Wiimote, and then use it as a touchpad. The device apparently functions through clever manipulation of mirrors, but I’m not a very smart person so I’m having a hard time following the description. Basically, when you touch the pad, the device works, and when you leave it alone it functions like a normal Wiimote.

Nintendo has noted that possible applications include drawing pads or mouse pointers, but I’m still having a hard time wrapping my mind around what exactly their intent could be. As we know, many patents never see the light of day, so this could be one more odd Nintendo technology that doesn’t quite make it to shelves.

What do you think of a Wiimote touchpad? Also, can you make any sense of the diagram?

New 3DS Bundles Headed for Europe and Australia

Posted Oct 28, 2011 at 6:59PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: 3ds bundles, coral pink, ice white, misty pink, nintendogs + cats, super mario 3d land

In the midst of all this negative Nintendo news, the company announces brand new bundles just in time for the upcoming holiday season.

It’s been a tough week for Nintendo, but the company is showing no signs of slowing down as it ramps up for a holiday season that could dramatically impact its bottom line. If you live in Europe or Australia, you’ll have the opportunity to pick up one of two new Nintendo 3DS bundles, with each offering having something to do with the Ice White and Coral Pink color variations we’ve been talking about for the last few weeks.

Here’s the rundown on the bundles and what 3DS games you can expect to see:

Coral Pink –Launching November 17 in Australia and 18th in Europe

Includes: Nintendogs + Cats

Ice White – Launching November 18th in Europe only

Includes: Super Mario 3D Land

It’s pretty clear who Nintendo is targeting with the two bundles, and they’ve obviously put some thought into giving parents an easy choice when it’s time to go Christmas shopping. Sadly, we don’t know whether these bundles will show up in North American markets, but Nintendo would be remiss to skip any opportunity to increase the 3DS’s market share. Super Mario 3D Land looks like the better buy – the return of the Tanooki Suit from Mario 3 is all they need to sell me a copy.

The new bundle announcements come hot on the heels of a similar announcement for the Nintendo DSi XL- one Midnight Blue and one Metallic Rose, both including Mario VS. Donkey Kong: Mini-Land Mayhem and Brain Age Express.

Are these bundles going to sell you a 3DS? Like I’ve said before, I’m waiting on a Lite version and, hopefully, Super Mario Galaxy 3D. Without interesting titles, the 3DS is more of a brick than a console.

Also – wasn’t the original color “Misty” pink? What happened?

Nintendo Losses Even Worse than Expected

Posted Oct 27, 2011 at 2:59PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo DS Tags: mario kart 7, nintendo losses, skyward sword

A tough global economy, falling console sales and a less-than-stellar start for the 3DS lead Nintendo to post its first annual loss since 1981.

Industry analysts have long predicted that Nintendo was going to post some sort of negative financial report in the next few weeks, but it looks like the actual results are even grimmer than experts expected. Over the last six months, Nintendo’s sales revenue has experienced a 40.6 percent decline, or roughly ¥147.4 billion.

The company’s net loss, which landed about ¥2.01 billion in 2010, has rocketed to a staggering ¥70.3 billion, most of which came in the last measured quarter. This sudden boost in losses is likely fueled by the lowered cost of the 3DS, which Nintendo is essentially selling for less than it costs to produce.

Most other costs associated with the brand have stayed steady, indicating that falling sales are the primary factor in the major financial trouble the company is currently experiencing. Revenue in the United States has dropped by around ¥85.9 billion, which amounts to around 58 percent of the total drop in income. Nintendo’s game offerings have certainly been slim in the last few months; gamers would be more likely to purchase Nintendo titles if they had some from which to choose.

On the plus side, the Nintendo 3DS is finally gaining some traction, with a large rush in purchases after the big price drop. 3DS sales are up to a lifetime 6.68 million, compared to the 6.65 million units the original Nintendo DS sold in its first seven months of launch.

As for the future of Nintendo, they’re going to need to come up with a better way to sell 3DS handhelds (namely, games) and to hit a home run with the Wii U or they could be in serious trouble. They’re naturally hoping for a holiday rush on 3DS systems as well as big title games like Skyward Sword and Mario Kart 7, but it’s unclear if this rush will be enough to push them back into safe territory.
