3DS

Haru Akenga, President of NIS America, has provided some commentary about the Wii U and 3DS.

First, Akenga was asked about Wii U:

“That’s interesting. It’s an interesting system. Unfortunately, we didn’t have any information about Wii U until the morning of the press conference. Maybe, we’re going to think about it, moving forward. At this moment, we have no plans to develop for the platform.”

Akenga was then asked if NIS America is planning on releasing additional 3DS titles. Akenga said:

“Not right now. Do you think we should? The market is not great now.”

Well, I can’t exactly say he’s wrong about the 3DS sales situation right now. Sales of the system haven’t been up to snuff just yet and games aren’t lighting the sales charts on fire. Then again, there haven’t been a whole lot of high-quality releases for the portable. Will things change with Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D (we’ve seen Japan sales, though NPD data won’t be available for a couple of weeks)? And how will third-parties fair in the future? These are just a couple of questions I personally have in mind.

A new Pokemon DS game titled “How to Play Pokemon Card Game DS” is launching in Japan in roughly one month. The thing is, it’s actually just a tutorial that’s included with a card-playing game. If you’ve ever wanted to learn how to play the card game, perhaps this software will aid you in your quest.

The cart contains a quiz mode and rule dictionary. Expectedly, you’ll also be able to face off against a CPU opponent like you would in the real world. Players will be able to transfer the game to other DS owners as well.

The full set, which includes playing cards, three 30 card decks, a play matt, a damage counter, and the DS tutorial, will be released in Japan on August 5 for ¥2,980.

You can kind of say that the launch box for nintendogs + cats in Japan is a collector’s item. Why? Nintendo has decided to completely change the game’s boxart because some folks were getting confused as to which titles were for DS, and which ones were for 3DS. Silly if you ask me, especially since it’s quite easy to differentiate between 3DS and DS software…
