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.

Iran bans Battlefield 3

Posted Dec 1, 2011 at 5:00AM EST by Harrison E Listed in: PS3, PC Gaming, Xbox 360 Tags: battlefield 3, battlefield 3 ban, bf3, iran bans bf3

Iran bans Battlefield 3

If they made a game about killing Australian's, I'm sure my country would probably do the same.

The game Battlefield 3 deals with an unnamed war (but we can guess which one) in a series of Middle Eastern settings (as well as European) and has a series of missions, in which terrorists from middle eastern countries are considered the enemy...so the game being banned in Iran is probably not too obvious...but the real reason actually is.

It's not necessarily about context or international relations but media effects that push forward the recent banning in Iran...oh and that whole section (Spoilers) wher US forces blow up the capital city of Tehran. "All computer stores are prohibited from selling this illegal game," a deputy with the security and intelligence division of the Iranian police.

I don't know much about video games being sold in the Middle East, but I can guess that EA has serious distributors in the countries to combat some forms of piracy. It seems that even though they have distributors, the game was pirated and sold in many shops before the release date, but official stores saw the ban coming and have steered clear of stocking the game legally. Unfortunately, some unlucky retailers have reportedly been raided, shop keepers even arrested for selling the game even before the ban was announced last month.

According to Fars, Iran's own news agency, a group of Iranian youths launched a protest against the game and it's sale via internet petition, which has over 5000 signatures. The petition reads about the protesters undertanding the game is a work of fiction but they "believe the game is purposely released at a time when the U.S. is pushing the international community into fearing Iran," it says, which I could not agree more.

Whilst other forms of media have not really divulged in the war on terror and the masculine fantasies of war, video games have never seemed to buck the trend. Since the war on terror began all the way back in 2003, at least ten titles each year about American or British forces taking on Middle Eastern countries have been released, going all the way back to the Banned- in-Australia, America's Most Wanted, which depicted a player hunting down Saddam Hussein and Osama Bin Laden...these times are not a-changin'

Nintendo 3DS Online Presentation this Friday

Posted Oct 19, 2011 at 3:00PM EST by Listed in: Nintendo DS Tags: Satoru Iwata

Nintendo plans a live, online presentation to talk to fans about the future of their 3D handheld system.

The Nintendo 3DS got off to a rocky start, with far less demand from players than the company expected. After a pretty big price drop (and a few good title releases), the console finally started to get a little traction from the industry – but not much. The 3DS still sits on the edge of failure, with the upcoming holiday season likely deciding the fate of the system.

Hoping to build buzz for the system and address player concerns, Nintendo has scheduled a live online presentation for Friday, October 21st. It will occur at 8pm Japan time – 12-14 hours ahead of North America, depending on your time zone (7am Eastern time).

Satoru Iwata, the president of Nintendo, is currently slated to host the event and viewers can expect to learn about the new 3DS firmware. Also on the table is the upcoming Mario Kart 7, though it’s unclear exactly what will or won’t be discussed. While you can certainly watch clips from the presentation later in the day (while you’re pretending to work), if you want to stream it live you’ll be able to pick it up on Ustream and Nico Nico Live.

The new 3DS firmware update is supposed to feature an updated version of the handheld’s Mii Plaza function in addition to giving gamers access to the 3DS’s 3D camera so they can make their own 3D videos. There will also be some minor tweaks and fixes to the system, but nothing major as the 3DS hasn’t really suffered from hacks and exploits. As always, think twice before upgrading your system if you use a flash card or homebrew software – you never know when it might get patched up.

It’s currently scheduled for November, but we may get an official date this Friday.

Are you still on the fence about the 3DS, or are you ready to take the 3D plunge?

Nintendo gets sued anew over Wii technology

Posted Sep 8, 2011 at 4:07AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: Wii Tags:

It took a long while for them to do it, but Wavit Remote makers ThinkOptic has finally brought Nintendo to court because of the Wii.

Now, patent lawsuits like this aren't anything new for Nintendo, especially after they launched the Wii console, but what's unique to this case is that ThinkOptic has also included manufacturers and retailers, such as Wal-Mart, Nyko Technologies, Imation, GameStop, RadioShack, and JC Penney as defenders.

According to the lawsuit, Nintendo infringed upon U.S. Patent Number 7, 796,116, or the "Electronic equipment for handheld vision based absolute pointing system" patent.

"The rejection of [...] applications - assigned to Nintendo Co. Ltd. - based on the 116 patent is proof that Nintendo defendants knew or should have known of the objective risk that one or more of their products infringed at least one claim of at least the 116 Patent," read the complaint.

Because of this, ThinkOptic is praying for an injunction from the U.S. District Court of the Eastern District of Texas against any products that vioate the patent, on top of royalties, attorney's fees, and of course, monetary reparation for profits that they allegedly lost.

Nintendo has yet to comment on the matter, but last we heard, a jury trial was also requested. Back in April, a patent for "Wii Light" was uncovered, which was originally applied for in 2009.

Jack Thompson's back! Threatens Gabe

Posted Mar 17, 2011 at 12:14AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PS3, Xbox 360, PC Gaming Tags: Gabe Newell, Half-Life 2, Jack Thompson, valve

It's been a while since we last heard from Jack Thompson. Not that we miss him or anything, but just in case you're interested, he's so back and swinging that crazy bat yet again.

This time, though, he takes aim at one person specifically, and that would be Valve's big boss Gabe Newell. He not only takes aim, however, he threatens him. And for what? That school shooting mod for Half-Life 2, Schoo Shooter: North American Tour 2012.

In a public letter addressed to Mr. Newell, he says thus:

Dear Mr. Newell:

You either know or should know that the more moral midgets who run Checkerboarded Studios have created a mod for your company's Half-Life which they call School Shooter: North American TOur 2010. This mod is a full-blown Columbine massacre simulator which cannot function without your company's assistance and acquiesence.

Attached herewith is a letter from FHE-ASAP that expresses their, my, and others' concerns about this Columbine massacre mod. As you either know or should know, your Half-Life murder simulator was obsessively played, and thus became a training ad, for a) teenaged Robert Steinhauser, who authored at Erfurt, Germany, the worst school shooting massacre in European history, and b) Seung-Hi Cho, who authored at Virginia Tech University the worst school shooting massacre in world history. As to the latter, the sources of this information are teh Washington Post and the New York Times. Now some sociopaths have made reprises of Erfurt and Virginia Tech far more likely."

Here comes the "threat" part of his letter to Gabe:

"Given the fact that your company has the technological ability to stop the operation of School Shooter, you must undertake steps immediately to do so.

Speaking for myself alone (for now), you have until five o'clock pm Eastern standard time this Friday, March 18, 2011, to shut down this public safety hazard I predicted years ago this school massacre game would arrive. I hate being right all the time.

GOVERN YOURSELF ACCORDINGLY.

Regards, Jack Thompson"

I agree that the School Shooter game is out of line, but whatever the advocacy might have been is sure to get drowned out by Jack's insipid belief that his "threat" holds significant water to Valve.

He did not even say what will happen if the deadline lapses and Gabe Newell and the rest of Valve does not put a stop to the School Shooter game, so we're going to have to assume he's got a Plan B cooking up somewhere for the weekend.

Jack Thompson, unfortunately, had himself disbarred from practicing law for life because of his unstoppable outbursts, not only against the video gaming industry, but also towards the honorable courts.

LittleBigPlanet 2 new trailer out, custom campaign coming

Posted Feb 14, 2011 at 2:42AM EST by Mabie A. Listed in: PS3 Tags: littlebigplanet 2, Media Molecule, Sony

Recently, Media Molecule posted a challenge to some of the LittleBigPlanet 2 community. To show how good they are, they were asked to make use of the tools in the game to come up with their own story and campaign.

Said Media Molecule, "A few months ago the Community Molecule set them a challenge - could they create a full game experience? Their own complete LBP Theme, using the new LBP2 tools to develop all original story, mini-games, bosses, cutscenes, music, and voices."

"The team was gathered, designs were drawn up, themes were picked and building began, now several months later they are very nearly ready to launch their project for you to play!"

While they have yet to reveal the details on how we can get our hands on these wonderfully-made levels, it is most likely that it'll arrive by way of DLC.

In the meantime, however, we can catch a glimpse of the awesomeness they came up with through this video of Hansel & Gretelbot. This is what it's about:

"Once upon a time, in a little cottage on the edge of the Dark Eastern Woods, lived a humble Woodsman, his wife, their son and Hansel and robotic daughter Gretelbot. One sad day, the Woodsman's wife was taken ill, and passed away not too long afterwards. Time passed, but eventually the Woodsman became stricken by loneliness, and he remarried.

The Woodsman's new wife was a wicked woman, who hated their new step children. They were the reason, so she said that they had to live in such poverty. They would eat them out of house and home, the Woodsman must get rid of thmem! His will weakened by his heartbreak, the Woodsman relented, and led Hansel and Gretelbot into the Dark Western Woods, leaving them to fend for themselves, with no idea how to get home...

Hansel & Gretelbot should be out later this month, keep your eyes peeled for more info!
