Congratulations to Nintendo and the Nintendo 3DS entertainment console for the complete domination of the worldwide weekly charts. Nintendo gamers worldwide have spoken with their wallets for what they believe to be a supreme gaming experience like no other.

It has been proven yet again that hard work and AAA quality exclusive content pays the bills. All of the hard working ladies and gentlemen at Nintendo HQ must be proud of the results of their hard work and dedication. The momentum behind Nintendo has been very strong as of late and we hope to see the movement continue well into the future. As long as Nintendo continue to provide world class exclusive experiences, we as Nintendo supporters will continue to support Nintendo consoles.

It has been a long bumpy road for the Nintendo 3DS entertainment console to get to this point. Facing stiff competition in the handheld sector, but managed to pull through to an outstanding victory once again. Its good to see Nintendo running strong and maintaining healthy sales figures on the charts.

Nintendos competition did pretty good as well. Have a blessed day and happy gaming.

Rated E For Everyone

jessupj4400d ago

Can I have what your smoking?

CarlitoBrigante4400d ago

Without Japan 3DS would be at nr5

Instigator4400d ago

Hardly an argument, don't you think. It's like saying without Japan the X360 would wipe the floor with the PS3, but that wouldn't fly with you, would it?

KingOptimus1014400d ago

Jesus Christ what is wrong with you its like you praise nintendo as your God. Its like you have a nintendo STD and it just keeps burning of nintendo fanboyism.

dark-hollow4400d ago (Edited 4400d ago )

remember boys, only Sony as* kissing is allowed here.

KingOptimus1014400d ago

Remember dark-hollow, only nintendick riding is allowed.

Instigator4400d ago

It's going a little far for all camps, in my opinion. It only serves to damage the image of either fandom.

Wow top in both hardware and software.

torchic4400d ago

all round good numbers. with more software the Vita will only get stronger.

sikbeta4400d ago

Vita is going down no matter what, I said that from day one, but no! I was just a hater hating on the hated PSV :P

Sony better focus in PlayStation Suit that can reach to every tablet and smartphone owner out there rather than go for a dedicated gaming handheld

Dante1124400d ago

Looks like the Ps3 dominated the 360 again WW. Great sales all around though.

bothebo4400d ago

The Vita will only get better. I mean come on, yes it's struggling but it hasn't really got any third party support yet. I think once more developers develop for it, it will take off. Resistance will help and so will Little Big Planet.

SammyJ4400d ago

Well it will have to really because if it gets any worse....DAMN!

TheUnbiasedLion4400d ago

Best selling game was KH:3D and it's only out in japan. Pretty impressive.
Slightly dissapointed with the vita though.
360 took a bit of a dip
Ps3 mist consistent
3DS is great and kids and adults a like are lapping it up :)

Most important though is this is just speculation and guessing.

nevin14400d ago

A price drop did wonders for 3DS.

Mugen Souls Retro Review – Sexy Demon Space Adventure

Gary Green said: We have a juxtaposition of 2D and 3D visuals, flashy turn-based combat, quirky anime characters with cheeky dialogue with plenty of partial nudity; Yes, this is a Compile Heart JRPG. Whilst the engine is borrowed from Hyperdimension Neptunia mk2, Mugen Souls is more of a Disgaea spin-off. It’s not a strategy RPG as such, it merely sits within Disgaea’s ever-expanding universe (Multiverse? Netherverse? Your guess is as good as mine). You won’t find cameos though, since Mugen Souls is a franchise which aims to stand on its own two feet.

Looking Back At 2008, An Unbelievably Incredible Year Of Video Game Releases

Huzaifa from eXputer: "2008 was home to the likes of Call of Duty: World at War, Dead Space, GTA 4, Far Cry 2, Left 4 Dead, and many other hits, which is outright remarkable."

ChasterMies6h ago

Some of these low paid video game “news” writers weren’t born before 2007.

just_looken2h ago

Here here

Those that were around before 2000's i am sure are like me that think we entered a world of non readers or those that follow without question.

I can not wait to see fallout 3 a goty game even though it was about water with non content until you add the dlc/updates then you got the performance/crashing

CrimsonWing6917h ago

I don’t think anything can compare to 2023

lucasnooker17h ago

1998 - the best year in gaming! Metal gear solid, crash bandicoot 3, medievil, half life, ocarina of time, thief, tenchu, resident evil 2, Spyro, tomb raider 3, oddworld abes exodus, banjo kazooie.

It was a different breed of a gaming era. You’ll never understand what it was like back then. The aura of gaming, it was different!

KyRo17h ago(Edited 17h ago)

I second this. Gaming was a lot more varied and fun than it is today. I'm 35 so getting on compared to some here but I got to see all the changes from NES up to now but I've never felt so disappointed in any generation than I have this current gen. I was expecting more from this generation rather than prettier versions of games that came before it. Game mechanics have become so refined that alot of games feel the same and has done for a while now.

Maybe it's time to have a break for a while. I love gaming but I don't feel I get much fun in the traditional sense out of it anymore.

CrimsonWing6917h ago(Edited 17h ago)

Metal Gear Solid, Resident Evil 2, Abe’s Exodus, and Ocarina of Time are the only things from that list that I liked.

Here’s the 2023 game releases that I personally liked… and big releases that I didn’t care for:

- Dead Space Remake
- Wo Long Dynatsy
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Diablo 4
- Fire Emblem Engage
- Hogwarts Legcay
- Street Fighter 6
- Hi-Fi Rush
- Like a Dragon: Ishin
- Octopath Traveler 2
- Final Fantasy Pixel Remasters
- Final Fanatsy XVI (actually ended up not liking this, but it was still a big deal release)
- Baldur’s Gate 3
- Armored Core VI: Fires of Rubicon
- Lies of P
- Mortal Kombat 1
- Marvel’s Spider-Man 2
- Starfield (Ended up hating this one, but big release)
- Super Mario Bros. Wonder
- Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom (I’m an old-school Zelda fan, but didn’t really enjoy this game)
- Alan Wake 2

I mean, honestly I’ve never seen a year of major IP releases like that, ever.

Profchaos14h ago(Edited 14h ago)

Isn't it just a generational thing realistically.

I've been gaming since way back and I some of my favourite games go as far back as the late 80s for me each generation has a year or two of game changing releases one after another before an inevitable dry spell.

I kind of agree gaming had a different feel games hit different because we didn't have the internet nothing got spoiled and you really had to put in the effort to beat a puzzle which could set entire groups of people looking for a solution. But most importantly games were experimental and not as cookie cutter as today even basics like controls were not universal today r2 is shoot l2 is ads garunteed you can't deviate from that in a shooter back then it could of been square, R1 or R1 and circle nothing was standard.

But as time moves on a new generation picks up their controller they are going to be interested in different things that PS1 demo disc with the t Rex blew our primitive 16 bit brains back on launch but to kids today it's laughable.
The new gen of kids coming into to hobby seem to value different things to us there seems to be a huge focus on online play, streamers, gaming personalities, and social experiences, convience of digital downloads. To me I value none of that but that's ok like my parents not liking the band's I would listen to its just the natural cycle.

Gameseeker_Frampt5h ago

Just about every year in the 7th generation was great and something we most likely won't experience again.

2009 for example had Assassin's Creed 2, Batman: Arkham Asylum, Dragon Age: Origins, Uncharted 2, Halo 3: ODST, Killzone 2, Borderlands, Bayonetta, and Demon's Souls to name a few.

just_looken2h ago

It still amazes me we got over 7 rockstar games ps2/ps3 but 3 for the ps3/ps4/ps5

Dragon age 1-3 and mass effect 1-3 in 7ish years what a generation.

6 Fun Games Where You Actually Play As The Bad Guy

While the mainstream media always sees things turning in favor of the hero, here are 6 games that own being a bad guy.

Profchaos23h ago

Pretty much all of these games listed are based around a morality system you don't have to be bad and you don't have to be good.

It seems to have left out some real amazing games like red dead redemption 1/2,ass effect and true crime la/ny

Tacoboto22h ago

Armored Core VI?

Ok, I'm really missing something here. Just beat chapter 3 earlier this evening, unlocked A-rank Arena fights. I'm not seeing or sensing any branching paths or morality system and I've done every side mission and arena fight available to me up to that fight.

Is something big coming soon to branch the story?

banger8822h ago

No mention of Grand Theft Auto? Saints Row (original trilogy), Manhunt? Also The Suffering (depending on the ending you get).

ChasterMies12h ago

Trevor in GTA 6 is a sadist and psychopath who dabbles in cannibalism. Should be top of the list. These game “news” sites should hire people that know games.
