Excerpt: "Ridge Racer 3D has raced its way onto the Nintendo 3DS with it’s slick arcade action and 3d depth. The game is ridge racer to the core with it’s insane drifts, windy tracks, and races of up to seven competitors. As is standard in Ridge Racer, you’re driving around in fictional cars trying to win each race. The vehicles are classics from ridge racer past and to win here requires some much needed finesse of the drift. Sure you can get totally sideways but that won’t necessarily get you to first."
Great news for those of you who just got a shiny new 3DSXL and are looking to expand your 3DS library. Several 3DS games have gotten price reductions/clearanced out at Best Buy and for those of you who can get to your local store to search for the titles this evening you can still take advantage of the B2G1 sales on all 3DS games. These games were all marked at a local store, did not appear to be a manager special and required no override at the register when purchasing them. That said, as is often the case for price drops like these, prices may vary depending based on different stores. These prices will likely be IN STORE ONLY.
Online video game retailer Amazon.com are pushing some nice discounts on their best sellers and recent releases.
Chris Buffa (Modojo): According to many, Nintendo's March 27 3DS launch was a huge disappointment. The system was overpriced at $249.99, consumers complained the glasses free 3D gave them headaches and a lack of compelling software (the absence of Mario the biggest sticking point) gave shoppers little reason to fork over their hard-earned dough.
BETTER than we thought? No. No. There is no excuse for it. Heck, the system is still crawling uphill and it has a long way to go before it is a must-have system.
lol this Chris dude loves him some nintendo.. next article Vita launch worse than we thought...
The launch week was OK...
In Japan, they'd sold out their entire allocation in the first two days. It was the most successful Nintendo console launch ever in America and the UK.
The problem was the three months after that. Those good first week sales didn't last.
They sold 4 million first quarter - but 3.5 million of that was in the first week.
