This information comes from Carlson Choi, VP of Marketing at Namco Bandai…

“It’s been a slow start, but that’s similar to how DS went in the beginning. We’re really close with all the first party companies, but especially Nintendo because our origin of business is in Japan. We know they’ll invest heavily in it. It’s a big platform they believe in and we believe in it too, so we’re going to support it with our key franchises. The moment you cut the price of the item the perceived value goes down. We’d love to have them retain the price because it keeps the premium status of that product and it allows us to bring premium games to that market. We”re bringing some of our most cherished IPs to the 3DS. I think 3DS is going to have a very big Holiday season this year. Just look at the lineup Nintendo is planning. I think Nintendo feels confident. They’re not going to take their foot off the pedal.”

Well, Nintendo’s going to have to do something if the 3DS doesn’t sell well! Still, it is early, so I don’t think they’re going to be slashing the system’s price any time soon. And Ocarina of Time 3D will finally be releasing, along with a few other high-quality titles. It’ll be interesting to see what happens after that.

This video is definitely worth your time. It shows a look at Skyward Sword’s Siren world for the first time ever with exclusive footage. Also, we get to see the Zelda level in Super Mario 3D for the first time!

Thanks to Iz for the tip!

Perhaps Dengeki Nintendo and CoroCoro were teasing Super Pokemon Scramble, a game announced for the 3DS earlier today. It’s a sequel of sorts to the WiiWare title that made it on to WiiWare back in 2009. Umbrella is handling development once again.

The heart of the gameplay will involve making use of Pokemon toys to battle enemies. It’ll support SpotPass, a local wireless multiplayer feature, and 3D visuals.

Surprisingly, Super Pokemon Scramble is just around the corner. The title will launch in Japan on July 28 for ¥4,800.

Day Two at E3



After getting up and grabbing some bearclaws from the complimentary continental breakfast before rushing out the door of our Super 8 motel, Austin, Laura, and I headed out once again towards downtown LA for day two of E3. We intended to get there at nine forty-five? fifteen minutes early? so we could get our hands on the WiiU and have a decent amount of time left to check out the rest of what E3 had to offer later that day. We arrived at the convention center and saw an enormous crowd at the front door, an ominous sign of what was to come (more lines). We wedged our way through and made our way towards the West Hall, where the Nintendo show floor was, and saw yet another enormous crowd upon arriving. After waiting about ten minutes, the doors opened, and a mad rush towards the Nintendo area ensued. Once again, we got lost in the shuffle, and ended up only a few feet away from the cut off for the line to play the WiiU that day. So, unfortunately, we were not able to get hands on with the new system, but I promise ye NE and GE readers that we’ll get a spot in line tomorrow, as we intend to get to the convention center at around seven thirty in the morn.
