Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 8 Comments
Tomorrow, Nintendo plans to release a new smartphone/tablet app in Japan for 3DS tethering. It will essentially allow the portable system to use a phone’s mobile networking.
Nintendo’s app is known as “Easy Tethering for Nintendo 3DS”. This acts as a partnership between DoCoMo and the Big N.
Initially, the app will be compatible with the following devices (with more to come in the future):
Smartphone:

Easy Tethering for Nintendo 3DS is completely free and will allow customers who have never used tethering before to set up the process smoothly.
Those who download and use the software can then take a survey. Doing so will net them a code for an unspecified 3DS Virtual Console title. The survey will be available from early July to September 30th, 2014.

SEGA on Sonic Boom’s recent silence, more news on the way – including a surprise and 3DS assets
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 6 Comments
SEGA’s Stephen Frost recently shared an update about Sonic Boom over on the Sonic Stadium forums, including why there hasn’t been much news about the game since its announcement.
Frost explained that the announcement’s timing took place when it did due to “key reasons”. There are also various partners involved since Sonic Boom involves more areas than just a video game (like the upcoming television show).
Starting at E3 next month, fans can expect regular updates about the Sonic Boom title. We’ll see new screenshots, a first look at the 3DS version, and even “a bit of a surprise”.
Head past the break for Frost’s full comments.

NPD says most US gamers still prefer discs over digital purchases
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News | 7 Comments
Digital game purchases have seen an increase over the past few years. However, based on information coming from The NPD Group, most players in the United States still tend to purchase their games physically.
In its “Core Gaming 2014” report, NPD mentions that seventy-four percent of consumers prefer buying the physical release of a title. Keep in mind that digital preferences are nevertheless on the rise, coming in at a five percent increase year-over-year.
So how about you? Which side of the fence do you sit on? Do you still prefer buying games digitally, or have you started adapting to the digital space?
