Nintendo of America president, Reggie Fils-Aime, has defended Nintendo's stocking strategy for the Nintendo 3DS, in an interview with USA Today. This follows a month where Nintendo sold under 400,000 Nintendo 3DS's, over 460,000 DS's and 290,000 Wii's. A total of over 1.1 million consoles in one month alone. A high level of sales, when the world is still experiencing the aftermath of the recession and banking crisis'
The new Nintendo-focused emulator for the iPhone is now available with support for several classic systems.
Sued for what? It's just an emulator no ROMs are with it. ROMs are easy to get anyway, but with iPhone you can't just copy and paste like Android unless it's jail broken I think. Anyway Nintendo should be more concerned with their ROMs up to torrent for years for all of their concoles, but then again they can't do nothing about it, they never will and I love it. 🤣
Won't belong before Nintendo bangs on Apple's door to have the emu removed. Like I say you take down one six more take it's place. Problem is people are putting emu's on such stupid platforms. The good emus are the ones not on stupid platforms like a red target. The good emu's are word of mouth and keep a low profile.
With so many games fighting for players' attention and interest losing out over time, time sink games are at risk of eventually losing steam.
It was worrisome to begin with.
It's a niche genre with only a handful of hits that can stand the test of time.
I like the sound of that!! I will for sure never support these gaas games.
Sony must be shocked at gamer's reaction, making them cancel a few of these and hopefully go back to the good heavy hitters they had us used to..
now bring on that PSPro reveal and show us some SP 1st party awesomeness.
It's pretty ridiculous.
Imagine having a breadth of data at your disposal to see the statistically low success rate of these games, only to be laser focused on the exceptional case studies.
Only a few will catch on. You need a perfect storm to be successful in GaaS and a bit of luck on top of that. But a potential cash cow will keep them trying and some will go out of business because of it.
Helldivers 2 manages just fine…
Keep production costs low… don’t just make custscenes until the mechanics and enemies are perfected first.
Make so much content that you can drip extra content for years, and the game already feels complete without them.
Most importantly: make weapons, enemies, levels, and mechanics that will stand the test of 1000 hours. This might require more devs embracing procedurally generated leveled, which I think separates Helldivers 2 from Destiny’s repetitiveness.
Nameer from eXputer: "Some exceptions aside, I don't think the battle pass is a net positive for gaming with how they're implemented in most live service titles."
I like the way Helldivers 2 does battle passes. It allows you to make purchases on each level of the battle pass and gives you the option of choosing which item to unlock first. The more purchases you make using medals the further you progress. There is no timer and you can earn medals towards purchasing stuff via personal orders and Major orders.
I haven't played much live service games that have battle passes but I remember some games that have battle passes where you progress through it linearly using an exp system. What makes it really bad is that the battle pass will have like 50 or more levels with the cooler stuff being closer to the end. They also have an in-game shop that sells exp boosters so you can reach the end of the pass before it refreshes. Everyone ilse will have to grind their way through.
battle pass in fortnite is perfect; buy one and it buys the rest for every other season as it gives you more money than the first cost. so 8.50 and season ends with you getting 13.00, it pays for the next and you have some pocket change to save up for cash shop. All of which is optional
It's odd it hasn't sold so fast.
The only reason it doesn't sell is because NO GOOD GAMES ARE OUT FOR IT.. JESUS CHRIST STOP WITH THOSE ARTICLES!
I have a DS that I love and enjoy and I'm dying to get a 3DS, but I will only buy it when NEW GAMES COME OUT FOR IT.
They actually did a launch right. Having tons of stock till the holidays......
Is shoulda been 100 bucks
there will be a flood of amazing games that come out 4 it then it wont be on shop shelves no more as it will sell like crazy the fact is i have 1 its a lifestyle changer the mp3 player is top notch the sound is super clear u hear instruments u didnt hear before on ipods ect 3ds has 48 KW sound quality thats same as ps3 and wii 4 gaming
Im loving it and at least i have the system so when the bad boy games hit i just fork out £30 online and order it end of there is a 3D web browser coming in may and then using streetpass and spotpass u can also get sky sports leaks sent to u whilst not even being online then watch it same with movies they will get sent to u clips that is as promotion and u can watch them in 3D without the internet or being online when carry ur 3ds around its permenantly linked to street/spot pass so its better than GPS as i take mine out everytime im getting a bus or what have u and u gather miis in street pass plaza and its a good rpg game aswell
Plus the 3DS has the potential to blow every other portable device out of the water it can do everything and in may when eshop and web browser hit aswell as some other services u will be blown away with the 3ds i played it in direct sunlight today and i could still see the game i was playing the screen quality is superb 344 PPI 800x240 x5.38 the size of the screen squared.
