It has begun and it will never be stopped! NINTENDOMINATION!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Ashlen3894d ago (Edited 3894d ago )

I hope so, they just gotta start pumping out the big name games. And a price drop wouldn't hurt.

I still think they can turn things around like they did with the 3DS. People said 3DS was a failure but a simple price change and a few big games and boom #1 month after month.

360ICE3894d ago (Edited 3894d ago )

...selling slightly less than two 7 year old consoles.
Weird.

Pikimin 3 is neat though.

360ICE3894d ago

I disagree! Pikimin 3 is not neat!

AWBrawler3894d ago

but Wii U has a smaller install base in US by several millions, and Pikmin 3 still placed number 1. thats quite a feat for one of Nintendo's lesser tier franchises.

360ICE3894d ago (Edited 3894d ago )

@AWBrawler
Given that Nintendo titles have been long burners the last years, it's not bad, but hardly impressive. Second place was a "Tales of" JRPG. Third and fourth were also Japanese (one of them on Vita). And this is the US market. It's not exactly high season.

Small install base? You bet. Strange that it didn't move more consoles.

On a sidenote, it's good to see creative Japanese games making their way to the States.

AWBrawler3894d ago

just wait until Mario Kart rolls out lol and Smash Bros. 4! its going to be insane

DarkHeroZX3893d ago (Edited 3893d ago )

Damn, ToX in the top ten, also Dragon's crown. Glad to see them doing so well

awesomeabe19983894d ago

Yeah they are still holding their own. The next months sales charts will be unique since the new games and exclusives along with the next gen consoles.

Minato-Namikaze3894d ago

Not sure what you mean, didnt august also have new games? I thought the next gen consoles werent until Nov?

awesomeabe19983894d ago (Edited 3894d ago )

@Minato

I meant that ToL sold pretty well. and that the next few months of 2013 will be interesting.

Wow, the Vita attach rate for Dragon's Crown is really high o.O

Considering that the PS3 has like 78 million units out and sold about 100k in its first week yet the Vita only 5.5 million and sold nearly 40k.

Thehyph3894d ago

It's even higher if these sales don't include digital purchases. Of the 9 or 10 psn friends I have who play it on vita, the livearea said that 6 or 7 of them bought it from the ps store.

Brucis3894d ago

Glad to see Pikmin, Xillia, and Dragon's Crown doing well.

nosferatuzodd3894d ago (Edited 3894d ago )

indeed we need creativity not just FPS every game because that's whats selling at the moment its good to see real games coming back and diversity l;like back in the old school era good job dragon crown TOX allso congrats on Pikmin well done Nintendo

((Zodd Teleport in a blaze of mist))

Master-H3894d ago

Nice to see the WiiU selling better

fsfsxii3894d ago

Hi, i'm a police officer, you're under arrest because you seem to be happy the Wii U is selling better.

nosferatuzodd3894d ago (Edited 3894d ago )

LMAO well done

((Zodd teleport in a blaze of mist))

Dunban673894d ago

no no no - I am sure 1 person bought 15,000 Wii U s that week in order to win a bet w another poster on NG4 re how many more units would sell when Pikmin came out- it is the only logical explanation

The Tales Of series are some of the best RPGs I've ever played, and the characters are a big reason for that. I don't think I played a single game in the series that I didn't enjoy. Rest in peace.

Snookies1232d ago (Edited 32d ago )

Damn, that sucks to hear... His designs were always wonderful.

H932d ago

RIP, sheade some great designs, man it's one after the other this year

FinalFantasyFanatic31d ago

We're 3 months into the year and I feel like we're taking nothing but L's.

autobotdan32d ago

Wow she was the character designer for Tales of Destiny one of my favorites of all time =(

scorpio_204932d ago

I love the Tales games. Phantasia will always be my favorite. Ironically I felt like as the series progressed the character design became too “anime cliche.”

shinoff218337d ago

I can't fk with this list. They missed on alot of games probably before the writers times. Also I know people loved some portal but I was never a fan.

Infinite but not the first two games? Witcher 3 but not the first two games?? GTA V but not literally any of the games before it??? Portal 2 but not the first? Also if you're going to play Shadow of The Colossus play the remaster and not the remake. Can't say I disagree with the list but my man it's all over the place.

Name Last Name37d ago

I mean some sequels are objectively better and you don’t need to play the whole series.

Inverno37d ago

But most of these games have a story to follow, sure you can catch up with a YouTube vid but where's the fun in that?

LucasRuinedChildhood37d ago (Edited 37d ago )

A list like this isn't telling you not to play the previous games if you want to. It's just giving you legendary games to play.

But tbh, you don't always have to force yourself to play every entry in a franchise to get to the better ones.

- The vast majority of Witcher 3 players never played the first 2 and had a great time. The first 2 games aren't in the same league.
- The GTA games are self-contained with the odd fun reference. You can easily jump into any of them.
- The Shadow Of The Colossus remake looks and controls better than the original (plus it has a 60fps option while the remaster is just 30fps). New players will enjoy it more.
- Portal 2 is a lot better than Portal 1 and takes the concept much further gameplay-wise. Storywise, Portal 1 is fairly light too. Not that you shouldn't play it but realistically ... you'd love Portal 2 whether you play it or not (at lot of Portal 2 players have never played 1).

Bioshock 1 is the only one I agree with you on simply because it's one the best games of all time and arguably better than Infinite. No other setting like Rapture.

Looking at the list, I'd recommend playing Uncharted 1 before 2 but no doubt, 2 is the legendary one you have to play.

Inverno37d ago

I get it, but that's just my opinion on his opinion. I just think that before you play a sequel you should still play what came before it. Maybe it's just me but i find it fascinating playing through the first game in a series and seeing how it has evolved through its sequels. Like I said I don't disagree with the list, other than SoTC which I strongly believe the remaster of the original should be played above the remake.

AuraAbjure37d ago

Awesome list! Hot take on Fear (and it's hard af expansion Persaus Mandate!) Bioshock Infinite is stellar, so is the Witcher 3 and you nailed it by having Ocarina of Time. So many fantastic games! Gotta play 'em all! Next one on my list is Prey after I beat Dead Space 2 and Splinter Cell Conviction.
