3DS

Much to the delight of Zelda fans, Nintendo released a number of new Ocarina of Time 3D screenshots last night. And just like the last few image batches, a number of comparison photos have already been created. So, what do you think? Are you pleased with the graphical improvements?

Pokémon Games Sell Nearly 2.5 Million in Nintendo’s Best March in U.S. History for Portable Hardware Business

The new Nintendo 3DS™ system combined with the Nintendo DS™ family of systems to make last month the best-selling March in U.S. history for Nintendo’s portable hardware business, according to the independent NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States.

After only one week on sale following its March 27 launch, Nintendo 3DS sold just shy of 400,000 units. Propelled by sales of more than 1.3 million Pokémon™ White Version games and more than 1.1 million Pokémon™ Black Version games, the Nintendo DS family of systems topped all home and portable video game systems in March, with more than 460,000 sold.

After a few months full of teases, Shin’en’s first 3DS game has been revealed. Majesco Entertainment announced Nano Assault, which seems to build off of the success that Nanostray 1 and 2 experienced on the DS. You can check out a bunch of details about the game below, and expect more news soon. We’ll have more Shin’en goodness on Friday, and an interview with the company about Nano Assault in the near future.

EDISON, N.J., April 14, 2011 – Majesco Entertainment Company (NASDAQ: COOL), an innovative provider of video games for the mass market, announced today Nano Assault™ for the system is in development for an expected release this fall. Developed by Shin’en, this fast-paced shooter leaps off the screen with stunning 3D graphics that resemble electron microscope imagery. It’s within this dangerous microscopic world that players will navigate a Nanite ship through a cellular system, maneuvering through alien cell clusters, fighting off infections, and analyzing and destroying the virus’ core to ultimately save humanity.

“Nano Assault’s inspired visual style looks fantastic and is perfectly suited for 3D,” said Jesse Sutton, Chief Executive Officer, Majesco Entertainment. “The game is a fresh approach to the classic shooter, featuring a unique theme, solid depth of play and tight controls. I think this game is going to surprise a lot of people.”


One feature you won’t be seeing in The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is StreetPass support. Nintendo confirmed earlier this week that there are no plans to use the function. Personally, I don’t think it’s that big of a deal. I can’t really imagine many practical, enjoyable ways that StreetPass could be used in Ocarina of Time 3D.
