Roundup of cancelled titles from Famitsu
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
DS: Action Game (Now Productions)
3DS: Omega Five (Hudson)
3DS: Kororinpa Series (Hudson)
3DS: Bonk (Hudson)
3DS: Bomberman (Hudson)
WII: Deca Sporta 4 (Hudson)
WII: Role Playing Game (Konami)
Again, there is a bit of confusion going around since a North American Konami spokesperson wouldn’t confirm that their 3DS titles are cancelled. There are some new additions to the list above, though, such as Konami’s mystery RPG and Hudson’s Deca Sports 4.
Amazon UK 3DS pre-orders double the Wii
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
If you’re not already convinced that the 3DS is going to be bigger than almost any system launch ever, let me throw some more numbers at you: Amazon UK is reporting that 3DS pre-orders on their website are double that of Wii pre-orders, and we all know how intense the Wii’s sales numbers were.
On top of that, the 3DS also broke the former “pre-order king”, the PS3, by about 70 percent. Sounds like we’ve got a big launch on our hands! How many of you have pre-ordered your 3DS yet? I know I did!
Hudson’s 3DS games not cancelled after all?
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
This information comes from a Konami spokesperson…
“If (the announcement) didn’t come from us, it’s not true. We have not distributed any official list of Hudson products yet.”
So, it looks like Hudson’s 3DS titles are safe… for now. It is a bit confusing as to why Famitsu would say the games are cancelled, though. Either they know something we don’t, or it was just a mistake.
