Platform Sells Nearly Twice as Many Units as Nintendo DS Sold in its First Year

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The era of glasses-free 3D gaming is turning one this month as Nintendo 3DS prepares to celebrate its first birthday. On March 27, 2011, video games and portable entertainment jumped into a new dimension in the U.S. and that story got richer throughout the year with record-breaking software titles such as Super Mario 3D Land and Mario Kart 7 and entertainment options such as Netflix, Nintendo Video and the ability to record 3D movies. The platform enters its second year with a massive lineup of games, including the recently launched Resident Evil Revelations from CAPCOM, Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games published by SEGA, TEKKEN 3D Prime Edition from NAMCO BANDAI Games America Inc., METAL GEAR SOLID Snake Eater 3D from Konami Digital Entertainment and the upcoming Kid Icarus: Uprising and Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir from Nintendo.

“Nintendo 3DS closes its first year with a lengthy list of accomplishments but we’re still just scratching the surface,” said Nintendo of America President Reggie Fils-Aime. “With a massive lineup of first- and third-party games and more on the way, a budding library of entertainment options and an engaged and growing installed base, Nintendo 3DS has an incredibly bright future. We’re just getting started but this platform is built for the long haul.”

Some of the milestones achieved by Nintendo 3DS in its first year include:

Konno on Mario Kart character and track selection, Retro’s support, innovation leading to change
March 5th, 2012 Posted in 3DS, GameCube, General Nintendo, News, Posted by Valay, Wii | 5 Comments »
Mario Kart producer Hideki Konno was recently asked a series of questions about the franchise in an interview with IGN. Konno discussed how the roster and tracks are considered, making sure its still accessible when adding in new features, how and why Retro was brought in for Mario Kart 7′s development (though this was previously discussed in Iwata Asks), and more.

In terms of specific, interesting content divulged by Mario Kart’s head honcho, Konno stated that the team thought about adding in Wiggler for Mario Kart Wii, expressed uncertainty about the return of character specific abilities from Mario Kart: Double Dash, and how “the need to significantly change the Mario Kart series will arise if an innovation is developed that will enable more people to enjoy Mario Kart.”

All of Konno’s remarks can be found after the break.

Rumor: Next issue of Nintendo Gamer to feature “an exclusive first-look at Assassin’s Creed III Wii U”
March 5th, 2012 Posted in Posted by Valay, Rumors, Wii U | 1 Comment »
Nintendo Gamer claims that they’ll have “an exclusive first-look at Assassin’s Creed III Wii U” in its next issue.

But, here’s the thing. The magazine’s previews tend to be hit or miss, and for all we know, this could be nothing more than a roundup of already-provided information. Nintendo also seems to be keeping third-parties quiet about their projects – that’s something else to to keep in mind.

In any case, here’s what the magazine wrote earlier today:

“…you’ll want to check out issue 74 of Nintendo Gamer magazine, which has an exclusive first-look at Assassin’s Creed III Wii U. We’re the only Nintendo magazine in the world to see the game, so you won’t be able to read about it anywhere else. The magazine is on sale 23 March but we’ll have a reminder nearer the time so don’t worry about whipping out your diary to mark that date.”
