Dead or Alive: Dimensions North American release date announced
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
BURLINGAME, Calif. April 13th, 2011 – For the first time on a Nintendo system, get ready for one of the most intense, visually stunning and accessible fighting game franchises ever, as DEAD OR ALIVE® Dimensions, developed by Team NINJA and published by TECMO KOEI America, launches for the Nintendo 3DS™ handheld system on May 24, 2011. Enjoy incredible 3D effects without the need for glasses, battle through rich and varied environments while smashing opponents through walls or crashing through floors, wirelessly set-up matches and compete as one of 25 playable characters.
Offering fast-paced combat, devastating counter attack combinations and interactive environments which can be used to inflict heavy damage on opponents, DEAD OR ALIVE Dimensions is a full-throttle smackdown experience. There is also a special stage for Nintendo fans, which is inspired by Metroid™: Other M where Ridley will wreak havoc on all fighters present. In another unique addition to the gameplay, the Nintendo 3DS Touch Screen will show players the combination moves each fighter can carry out during the game. Learn the controls to perform these powerful moves or tap the Touch Screen to perform them on an opponent for maximum damage.
DEAD OR ALIVE Dimensions retells the saga of the franchise in a never-before seen way, allowing players to discover the secrets behind the ongoing power struggle within the Mugen Tenshin ninja clan and the carefully guarded “Torn Sky Blast” fighting technique. Meanwhile, the evil DOATEC company, host of the DEAD OR ALIVE tournaments, tries to uncover the secrets for perfecting the creation of a “super fighter.” With classic characters like Kasumi, Lei Fang, Tina Armstrong, along with more recent characters such as Kokoro, Eliot and Hitomi amongst the fighters appearing, DEAD OR ALIVE Dimensions will appeal to fans old and new.

Analysts believe early Wii price cut could mean big E3 announcement, Pachter doubts rumor
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii | 0 comments
This information comes from EEDAR analyst Jesse Divnich…
“Most video game companies withhold their biggest announcements until E3 and if Nintendo chooses to announce a Wii price drop before their E3 press conference, they must have something much bigger to announce. There are very few announcements that would eclipse a hardware price cut.”
This information comes from M2 Research analyst Billy Pidgeon…
“Wii is certainly due for a price cut, which would be good for Nintendo and for retailers. A Q2 price cut announcement would typically be an E3 event, so scheduling a cut before E3 would clear the boards for another, bigger announcement. A new console would be pretty exciting, but it’s a lot riskier for a vendor with a large active installed base to launch next generation and keep last generation’s base active while the other vendors are still building out. Next generation timing and strategy is going to be interesting.”
Let’s not get too excited, though. Remember, any sort of price cut has not been confirmed in the slightest. In fact, Michael Pachter of Wedbush Securities believes that the rumor is fake:
“There is no way that anyone outside of Nintendo Japan would know about this until print ads have to be submitted for retailers, probably at most three weeks prior to the cut. I don’t believe that the source is right. With that said, I think a cut in September is likely, unless Microsoft cuts earlier. Nintendo will not lead price cutting, Wii is still selling pretty well (close to 1 million a month), so why cut profits until sales drop below 500,000 a month? I don’t see it.”
