3DS

Yesterday we saw that The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D climbed back into the top ten rankings of the NPD charts. Today we’ve discovered just how much the title sold.

In August, the title sold 84,000 units. The small boost in sales could be attributed to the 3DS price drop that went into effect last month. It’s possible that many gamers purchased Zelda alongside their new 3DS system.

The debut trailer for Professor Layton vs. Ace Attorney, which was shown last year

After disappearing for almost a year, Professor Layton vs. Phoenix Wright will finally reemerge next week. The game’s official website has revealed that a special stage show will be held during TGS. We don’t know what will be shown, but I imagine that many new details will be shared. A new trailer wouldn’t hurt either.

The stage show will take place on September 17.

Prepare for intergalactic warfare like never before as you strap in, ignite your boosters, and take on the might of the evil scientist Andross in Star Fox 64 3D, in shops now for Nintendo 3DS!

Join Fox McCloud, fearless leader of the Star Fox team as he tries to save the galaxy he calls home and live up to the legacy of his famous father. This completely remastered Nintendo classic puts you in the pilot seat of the Star Fox team’s famous Arwing jet, ready to face an onslaught of enemies as they do their best to blow you out of the sky – and all in sense-searing 3D.


The scans give us our first real look at new character Rachel! The “images”/screenshots come from the updated Japanese Resident Evil: Revelations website, which you can check out here.


Kojima Productions revealed on the latest episode of the KP Report that the company has obtained Nintendo’s 3DS Circle Pad attachment. This should put any and all speculation to rest that the add-on was created specifically for Monster Hunter Tri G.

Unfortunately, we don’t know how long the studio has had access to the peripheral. It also isn’t clear if Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D will take advantage of the accessory.

Below are some of the relevant comments from the podcast in which the Circle Pad peripheral was discussed:

“I saw it today in the office. I mean I’m sure it’ll enhance gameplay… it’s a little big.” – Christopher Johns

“It feels good I think… it feels good. It’s just it’s an add-on, so I think the only concern is how will that kind of split through the users. Because there are people who are gonna wanna just carry around a really portable 3DS and then maybe only the really hardcore guys want to play some FPSs on there or something will maybe want to get that attachment.” – Sean Eyeston

“I don’t know if people want to carry it around, right? That might be the tough part.” – Christopher Johns

“It is kind of big.” – Sean Eyeston

“I think it adds a new level to gameplay, so it’s definitely worth it.” – Christopher Johns

“Gameplay-wise I think it definitely adds a lot. It’s just size-wise and I guess aesthetics, right?” – Sean Eyeston

“For those who do play for long periods of time, I think that will win over a lot of people…” – Christine Kogure


– First game in the franchise that has Japanese voice acting in Asian territories
– Can choose English or Japanese voice acting (Asian copies)
– Chris voiced by Hiroki Tohchi
– Jill voiced by by Atsuko Yuya
– Limited TGS-only mini soundtrack available at TGS
– Resident Evil Miis such as Jill and Parker will be distributed
– Bring your 3DS to TGS to get the CD and Miis
– New character: Rachel
– Rachel information: “A mysterious woman who appears injured, clutching her arm… She wears the same kind of wetsuit as Jill, but are they on the same team? What fate awaits this woman on the ghost ship?”
– t-Abyss Virus information: “A marine virus derived from the t-Virus, even though Veltro is the only entity that possesses quantities of it, they have the ability to infect one-fifth of the world’s oceans with what they possess. Are the enemies Jill and her team have been encountering a result of the t-Abyss Virus?”
– Chapter-based progression system
– Striking cutscenes at the end of each chapter
– Gameplay experience akin to that of a TV drama series
– Movie will play at the beginning of each chapter summarizing what has happened up until that point in the game
