3DS

Nintendo is giving fans an opportunity to go hands on with Pikmin 3 this weekend. Over 250 GameStop locations will have an early demo, and those who pre-order a digital copy at the retailer will receive access one day early.

Pikmin 3 isn’t the only title that will be on display at GameStop’s preview, it would seem. Nintendo has sent out a tweet stating that the company “might even give you a sneak peek at an upcoming 3DS game”.


Zelda: A Link Between Worlds? Mario & Luigi: Dream Team? Pokemon X/Y? Place your guess!

The Guardian conducted an interview with Nintendo president Satoru Iwata during E3 2013, and has just now published the full talk. Iwata commented on Wii U’s lack of strong titles, third-party support, Zelda Wii U, the 3DS’ success, and more.

You can find a roundup of Iwata’s quotes below.

While the Wii U may not be doing so well in the UK, it’s a completely different situation for the 3DS. Nintendo says that the portable is now outselling the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 week-by-week, MCV reports.

The 3DS’ strong performance can be partially attributed to the release of Animal Crossing: New Leaf, plus other hit titles. Amazingly, 3DS is the only gaming platform to sell more software compared to the previous year.

Nintendo UK’s head of consumer marketing James Honeywell said:

“Software sells hardware. You must have heard that from us a lot. And the same can be said for Wii U as we move into peak season. With such a strong line-up of titles that are so critically acclaimed, it is just a perfect storm. It has made it the format of the moment. Sometimes 3DS, or handheld in general, suffers because people tend to focus on the home console market. But 3DS is really doing the numbers right now.”
