Activision intends to sell a lot of Skylanders products on Nintendo platforms
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
The Wii is on its way out, and the Wii U hasn’t performed up to Nintendo’s expectations. Given these two factors, MCV decided to ask Activision’s UK MD, Roy Stackhouse, about whether the publisher’s expectations for the game have been negatively impacted.
Not at all, Stackhouse said. In fact, he along with Activision as a whole “expect to sell a lot of Skylanders on the Nintendo platforms.” Stackhouse also said the company still considers Nintendo to be “a very integral part of our sales mix going forward.”
Stackhouse’s comments in full:
“Not at all. We still expect to sell a lot of Skylanders on the Nintendo platforms. Just because the sales may have softened doesn’t mean there isn’t a lot of consoles out there that children are still playing on. We still see Nintendo as a very integral part of our sales mix going forward.”

A look at the different areas in Game Center CX 3
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Game Center CX 3 will provide players with plenty of new areas to explore. You’ll be able to visit an arcade, toy shop, mom-and-pop-candy store, model kit shop, and a department store roof.
Each one of these locales offers its own events and challenges. While clearing challenges and continuing on through the story, years will pass and the city experiences various changes. In one instance, your school bans its students from going to the arcade in the mid 80s. But in the late 80s, specialty game shops will begin to appear.

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
A brand new Pokemon title has been revealed through the latest episode of NHK’s “Professional—Style of Work” program. Details are still coming in, but it’s a detective title that has players partnering with Pikachu.
The unnamed game’s total development is expected to be two years, according to The Pokemon Company president Tsunekaz Ishihara. In it, players will encounter a rare Pikachu, which is apparently the enemy players will take on, and Ishihara believes that people won’t end up liking it. Also planned for the game: a blue Pikachu and a talking Pikachu.
The new title is due out sometime in 2015.

Pokemon X/Y’s Japanese sales see quicker drop than Black/White, but no need to panic
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 4 Comments
Pokemon X and Y sold another 473,000 copies across Japan in its second week, but the game’s sales dropped by 75 percent. Before you get too concerned, keep in mind that this may sound more troubling than it actually is.
Pokemon Black/White experienced a similar drop, but not quite as steep. Sales of the DS games obtained higher first week sales with a 70 percent decrease in its second week.
Note that when Black/White launched, the DS had a userbase that was over twice the size as the 3DS’ total (30 million versus 13 million). Pokemon X and Y are also competing for gamers’ attention, as Monster Hunter 4 launched in Japan not too long ago.
