Nintendo 3DS Moves 5 million in Japan

Posted Feb 20, 2012 at 2:23PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: nintendo 3ds, ps vita

Suck it, Vita.

The Nintendo 3DS has quickly become the comeback kid of the games industry. Despite a weak launch that went so poorly Nintendo was forced to drop the price of the unit, the 3D handheld has surged in both western and eastern markets and dragged itself, somehow, to the top of the heap. 52 weeks after initially launching in Japan, the Nintendo 3DS has officially become the fastest system in history to land five million sales in Japan.

The previous record, naturally, belonged to the Nintendo DS, which moved five million units in 56 weeks. 3DS continues to perform well in Japan, even now that the Christmas holiday has passed and gamers are back to watching their wallets. The device moved 67,558 units last week, far outstripping new competitor PS Vita’s 13,939.

Things are a little different here in the west, with the PS Vita set for launch this week and a slightly less enthusiastic response to the Nintendo 3DS. We’ll just have to see how things play out over the next few weeks—can Vita stake its claim in a new market, or is the 3DS on its way to becoming yet another jewel in Nintendo’s increasingly heavy crown?

Given the choice, would you buy a Vita or 3DS?

[Game Informer]

Suck it, Vita.

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.

Angry Birds Scores 6.5 Million Downloads in One Day

Posted Jan 4, 2012 at 2:37PM EST by Listed in: iPhone Tags: android, angry birds, ios, rovio

One of the most popular mobile games in the world had a huge surge in sales thanks to new device activation.

Well, it looks like two things happened for sure on Christmas day. Number one, a whole hell of a lot of people got iOS and Android devices. Number two, a huge percentage of those new users elected to download Rovio’s smash hit, Angry Birds.

The indie studio reported that the game was downloaded over 6.5 million times on Christmas day – an absolutely absurd figure no matter how you look at it. Judging by smartphone/tablet activations, it looks like almost every person who got a new device downloaded Angry Birds. The game might as well be pre-installed.

It’s worth noting that the figured include free and paid versions of the app, but still – what a massive day for Rovio. Take that, Scribblenauts!

Do you have Angry Birds on any of your devices?

Humble Bundle 4 breaks over two million dollars for charity

Humble Bundle 4 breaks over two million dollars for charity

11 Games and two weeks later...amazing things can happen.

At 2,327,519 and 82 cents, Humble Bundle 4 has been the best selling bundle of all time. That's 435,243 bundles sold in just a matter of weeks and it has been amazing for everyone.

Raising money for Child's Play and Red Cross, the Humble Bundle average was $5.45 by the end and prompted everyone to donate big over the Christmas season.

Gratuitous Space Battles, Cave Story+, Jamestown, Bit.Trip Runner, Super Meat Boy, Shank, Night Sky HD and also the games from Humble Bundle 3, including And Yet it Moves, Hammerfight, VVVVVV, Cogs and Crayon Physics Deluxe. The games were just coming left, right and centre and it just got more awesome from there.

And the soundtracks! All the soundtracks to all of the games were included as well. The thumping awesomeness of Super Meat

Boy to the progressive techno of Bit Trip Runner. This was the best bundle in the world and if you missed out, then too bad,

so sad. But it seems that for a while it wasn't going so great as due to the amount of Steam keys they had to give out, they

had to bump up the minimum price to $1, which was a shame, but probably what pushed the final total into the millions, in a

l wonderful way.

11 Games and two weeks later...two million dollars.

VVVVVV and Bionic Commando Now on eShop

Posted Dec 30, 2011 at 1:00PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo 3DS Tags: bionic commando, eshop, Steam, vvvvvv

Two excellent platformers hit the Nintendo 3DS, just in time for your New Year’s hangover.

The week between Christmas and New Year’s is a sort of gaming dead zone, with very few new titles hitting shelves and most gamers busy working on the titles they received over the holiday. But Nintendo is committed to keeping its weekly eShop release schedule, and actually dropped a pretty decent update here at the end of 2011.

Available now for your Nintendo 3DS are two excellent platformers: VVVVVV and Bionic Commando. The first game, released in 2010, is an incredibly challenging and fun platformer steeped in classic tradition, and the 3DS release marks the first time you can play it anywhere beyond your PC. The second game is actually a port of the original Game Boy version of Bionic Commando, in which you take the role of a super-soldier with a mechanical arm.

Bionic Commando will run you $3.99, while VVVVVV is priced at $7.99. Both are worth a look if you have a 3DS and are looking for an old-school game to play, but it’s worth noting that VVVVVV is only $1.24 on Steam – pick it up for PC if you aren’t worried about keeping it in your pocket.

Have you played VVVVVV? Did you find it impossibly difficult?

On Shelves this Week: January 1 – January 7 2012

Posted Dec 29, 2011 at 12:02PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: bastion, deus ex, guild wars, Portal, skyrim

Here they come: the very first games of the new year. Find out what’s coming in this week’s “On Shelves.”

Well, the holidays are officially over. New Year’s is just a couple of days away, and its passing marks the end of one of the most incredible years in the history of gaming. 2011 gave us Skyrim, Portal 2, Deus Ex and Bastion, not to mention countless other brilliant games.

2011 is almost behind us now, but we’re still in that dead zone between Christmas and NYE. Which means, unfortunately, that there isn’t much happening in the world of game releases.

Here’s what you can expect to see launching this week:

Guild Wars Complete Collection

ESRB Teen

NCSoft

That’s it. Most gaming companies aren’t in a hurry to release a game during this holiday vacuum, so we won’t be seeing a return to the regular launch schedule until the middle of the month.

In the meantime, this week is an excellent week for catching up on other games, or sinking even more hours into Skyrim.

How are you spending your dead zone week?

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?

MMO Rift Database hacked

MMO Rift Database hacked

Looks like the hacking problems persist into Christmas

The MMORPG Rift has been going swimmingly as of late for the creators Trion Worlds. The game boosts a healthy subscription but sad news came over the wire yesterday as their database was hacked.

The account database has possibly compromising information including user names, passwords, dates of birth, email addresses, billing addresses and plenty of Credit Card information to boot.

The company said in a statement that "there is no evidence that...full credit card information was accessed or compromised," which is hopefully good and not just to calm users.

Trion Worlds has said that they've already taken further actions to "strengthen [their] system" and continue with "external security experts" to research "the exctend of the unauthorised access."

Users will need to change their passwords and security questions and answers the next time they log into the game or Trion Worlds site. They've also stated that people who use similar information (user names, financial information, etc.) should watch their statements and activity carefully, just in case.

I always feel that game companies give wise advice in times of crisis, but I really want something new from the games industry, almost Bush-like in their response, like "We will find the perpetrators, whoever they are, find what they took and find their mumma's and tell them to spank their sons"

2012 is here! What games are going to be the first played in the year the world ends?

Well everyone, we finally made it. Christmas is this Sunday, and the insane holiday rush of games has come to a close. It seems like something huge launched every week for the last three months, but thankfully, this week marks the beginning of the “one big title per month” schedule we’re more used to.

There isn’t much this week, with Postal III likely being the only title likely to do any real volume. Here’s this week’s edition of:

Postal III

PC, Xbox 360

ESRB Rating Pending

Running with Scissors

Oddworld: Stranger’s Wrath HD

PS3

ESRB Teen

Oddworld Inhabitants

The Ultimate Battle of the Sexes

Nintendo Wii

That’s pretty much it. Everything else that was schedule for release this week seems to have been canceled or delayed. Let me know if I missed anything, I’m having a hard time tracking down reliable information for this week thanks to all the delays and cancellations.

Indie Royale Xmas Bundle is here!

Posted Dec 19, 2011 at 6:00AM EST by Harrison E Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: blackwell trilogy, dino d-day, eets, indie royale, the oil blue

Indie Royale Xmas Bundle is here!

A week left till christmas, a week left till the bundle ends...coincidence?

Christmas is a time of giving and what better gift to give - other than charity - as Nazi-controlled dinosaurs. Yes, you heard right, the game Dino D-Day is apart of the latest Indie Royale Bundle, also with four other games, for the (currently low price of $4...now $4.02, now $4.05) yeah, that price won't last long.

The games in the new bundle are:

The entire Blackwell Trilogy remastered in HD. The private eye game puts you in the hardboiled streets of the 1930's as Rosa Blackwell tracks down a killer in this compelling and visually intriguing action-adventure game.

Eets, from the creators of Shank, this adorably crazy platform puzzler will have you jumping and awwing at the great fun that can be had with this little bit of white and fuzzy evil.

The Oil Blue is an oddly addictive and fun game about the oil trade. Now before you slam your door on the way out, the game is satirically placed during an oil crisis and you have to keep pilfering the land over and over again and managing oil prices. The game is really fun and strategically well developed with simple menu systems and

Finally and definitely not least is Dino D-Day. Nazi's, dinosaurs, FPS, what more could ask for. The game has redefined first person shooters and we will hopefully see a new trend of dinosaurs to take over the current plague (pardon the pun) of zombie mods, we're seeing.

So whilst the Humble Bundle may have burnt you out, make sure you pick up the Xmas bundle from our good friends at IndieRoyale.com. http://www.indieroyale.com/

A week left till Christmas, a week left till the bundle ends...coincidence?

TF2 Aussie Christmas Now Live

Posted Dec 16, 2011 at 2:16PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: australian christmas, Steam, team fortress

Valve drops a ton of new in-game items and a brand new map to celebrate its Australian Christmas event.

Love hats? You’re in luck, for Valve has officially dropped its latest Team Fortress 2 update, titled Australian Christmas. The update is packed to the gills with completely unnecessary items for your TF2 character, including more hats than one person could possibly need. Still, it’s fun to see Valve treating their game with so much love.

There’s a lot going on in this update, so you should check out the full list of changes if you’re interested. If you don’t have time, here’s a quick rundown on what you can expect:

New map –Foundry

New weapons

New hats and items from the Steam Workshop

All-new achievements

75% off certain items in the Mann Supply Co. Store

If you want to get in on the festivities, you’ll need to play Team Fortress 2 while the event is live. Some of the items can only be looted through “Nice” crates, which in turn only spawn while the event is active. So get on it – it’s not like you have any other games to play right now, right?

On Shelves this Week: December 18 – December 24, 2011

Posted Dec 15, 2011 at 2:56PM EST by Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: BioWare, heavy fire, old republic, postal iii, Sega, sonic cd, trine 2

In what is the last week of releases before Christmas, we have one of the most anticipated games of the year and a few stragglers.

There are several high profile games hitting shelves in the next week, but none is more high profile than Star Wars: The Old Republic. The Star Wars MMO, rumored to be the most expensive game ever made, has seen a very successful beta/early release period and is primed to take the industry by storm on the 20th.

If MMOs aren’t your thing, you still have a few options – Postal III or Trine 2 is likely being your best options. Here’s this week’s edition of:

Star Wars: The Old Republic

ESRB Teen

Bioware

Postal III

Xbox 360, PS3, PC

ESRB Pending

Trine 2

PS3, Xbox 360, PC

ESRB E10+

Frozenbyte, Inc

Eudemons Online: Trumpet of the Legionnaire

ESRB Pending

TQ Digital Entertainment

Heavy Fire: Afghanistan – The Chosen Few

3DS, Xbox 360, Wii, PS3, PC

ESRB Teen

Mastiff

Soccer Up!

Wii

ESRB Everyone

EnjoyUp Games

SATAZIUS

ESRB Pending

Capcom

Sonic CD

PS3, Xbox 360, PC

ESRB Everyone

Seeeegaaa

Aaaand that’s your list for the week. I’m no genius, but I think The Old Republic is going to be the biggest launch. Then again, MMOs are still a relatively niche market – there’s definitely room for some of those other titles.

What game are you picking up?

In what is the last week of releases before Christmas, we have one of the most anticipated games of the year and a few stragglers.

World of Warcraft Holiday Deals

World of Warcraft Holiday Deals

Give the gift of WoW this christmas...because I only have enough to pay for 11 months.

World of Warcraft is one of the only MMORPG's to not go free to play this year and with a strong business model, adoring fans and a lot of money, it probably never will. Meanwhile for those who have never tried out the game, you can get it on the cheap for this christmas only.

To get the original WoW and Burning Crusade in the WoW Battle Chest, it'll cost you $5.

Cataclysm for $20, Lich King for $10, a Celestial Steed mount for $10 and a Panderan Monk Pet for $5. Also in the December Holiday deals - which last till December 19th, shoppers - is the reminder that there is always the WoW annual pass, for the yearly addict in all of us.

They also have a Recruit-A-Friend program...which is weird to say the least, but when there are slowly falling subscription numbers might as well pull out all the stops till the Panda train arrives.

This Holiday promotion, in addition to initiatives like the WoW Annual Pass and the new push for the Recruit-A-Friend program are definitely ways to continue earning revenue despite falling subscription numbers. The expansions might still be coming - ooh, Pandas! - but I think these programs are a way for WoW to tread water until the next Blizzard MMO is announced.

Pre Order Postal 3 Now

Posted Dec 12, 2011 at 6:00AM EST by Harrison E Listed in: PC Gaming Tags: postal, postal 3, Running with Scissors, RWS, tim wambolt

Pre-Order Postal 3 now.

It looks like the Postal Dude will be making a Christmas delivery.

I spoke earlier in the year to Tim Wambolt, level designer and developer of the new Postal game and with much charm and vigour, the game is up for pre-order from the official Running with Scissors site. The cover is a classically comic (literally) look on to Postal Dude being the classic American hero in the only way to get a box copy of the game.

The press release gives us an insight to how much has changed over the time when the project started till now. The first inklings of a Postal 3 was back when Cheney was in charge, Bin Laden was making more YouTube videos than Phillip De Franco. “Oh how the world has changed” Desi continued; “Peace, Joy and POSTAL III to everyone around the world”. You can currently buy the game at PostalGames.com http://www.postalgames.com/

Of course, the release gets quite serious as one of Running with Scissors best men, an editor by the name of Bill Kunkel sadly passed away back in September. We hope the developers at RWS and Bill's family have an amazing Christmas and a happy New Year and that Postal 3 sells a hell of a lot of copies.

American Nintendo President sees console for every demographic.

Posted Dec 11, 2011 at 8:27AM EST by Harrison E Listed in: Wii Tags: multiple nintendo consoles, nintendo wii pricing, Reggie Fils-Aime

American Nintendo President sees console for every demographic.

What about the Western Rabble Rouser console, how's that coming along?

Nintendo have had the family market cornered for years. Cornered and had a bright ribbon attached around it's neck which pulls so tight that money falls out of their pocket in droves, and whilst, other video game consoles have tired to put their bucket under their pockets, it seems that Nintendo's American President Reggie Fils-Aime, has plans to make sure the momentum keeps going when it comes to Nintendo's continued success.

Despite the postiing of a the company's first Japanese loss in over two decades, the American head says that with having four systems on the market, Wii, U, the DS and 3DS, isn't too bad and that they can have a share of the same market space for some time, as long as they appeal to the right markets. The right markets according to Fils-Aime, is the core gamers, lower-income homes and the classic, small children.

Of course, with Christmas coming up, all of those are taken care of on Nintendo's consoles, Fils-Aime says that Nintendo thinks the "DS is going to sell well" this holiday and that it's going to "appeal to a different consumer," adding that the christmas memory of buying the first console for your kid might be an idea this christmas.

Reggie talked with Time Magazine adding that the Wii has really gone for a core market but also trying to hit a lower income bracket with the Wii being less than $150 for the first time, this year. He notes that the console being $200 or even $250, may have been "out of their reach" but now it looks like it might be at the right price.

Regarding the Wii U and the 3DS, Reggie talked mainly about the core gamer audience and how the people who buy the "Wii hardware today" may be different from the people who buy the "Wii U in the future." He also noted he was aware the lack of pricing for the Wii U had been a concern for some people, but that you would be expecting different things from the Wii U and therefore would need different pricing.

That being said the Wii U would be a dedicated experience, but regarding this holiday season's spending, we already know that Microsoft slaughtered the competition over black friday and other than my girlfriend's family of non-gamers, I don't know anyone who doesn't own a Wii...Reggie might be hopeful but not stupid, I think it might be high-time for the Wii U to be rolled out and let Nintendo rest the Wii's flag for now.

It was a great console, some memorable games and experiences. Remember the first time you played Wii Sports with friends and family and how amazing it was, till someone said that the swinging in Tennis wasn't matching up...yeah good times.
