Atlus announces new release date for 101-in-1 Sports Megamix for Nintendo DS
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 1 Comment
IRVINE, CALIFORNIA – July 29 – Atlus U.S.A., Inc. today announced that 101-in-1 Sports MegamixTM for Nintendo DSTM, a collection of one hundred and one addictive sports mini-games that anyone can enjoy, has scored a new release date of September 7, 2010. The game features a wide assortment of all-time favorites like bowling, boxing, volleyball, tennis, basketball and unique sports some may not recognize right away, such as caber tossing, traction kiting, capoeira, street luge, and more! There is practically no end to the fast-paced sports action!
“Do you know how hard it is to fit 101 different sports games on a single cartridge?” asked an out-of-breath Aram Jabbari, Manager of Public Relations and Sales. “We had a hundred of them lined up and ready for the crammage process until someone said, ‘Where’s the 101th sport?’ and we suddenly realized it had run away. It made sense, seeing as how it was one of the track and field games. We can’t cram until we have them all, so it’ll take a little more time, but cram we will, I can promise you that.”

Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
Consumers across the United States will have a unique opportunity to come together and experience the new DRAGON QUEST® IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies game this summer as Nintendo offers interactive demo opportunities and special downloadable content at retail destinations from coast to coast. In addition to live game-play demos and the chance to enjoy the game’s multiplayer mode with fellow DRAGON QUEST fans, attendees who bring their Nintendo DS™ system and DRAGON QUEST IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies game card to these upcoming sampling events will have the opportunity to experience the game’s cooperative “Tag Mode” feature by connecting with other players and acquiring special downloadable treasure maps.
On July 31, select GameStop stores will host “The Ultimate DRAGON QUEST IX: Sentinels of the Starry Skies Experience,” inviting visitors to enjoy guided demos and connect with other DRAGON QUEST fans. Also at most GameStop stores, visitors will be able to access a special downloadable treasure map called “Zoma,” available for the first time in North America, via the game’s Tag Mode feature. Sampling events will also be held on Aug. 7 at select Best Buy retail locations, where attendees will have access to the “Estark” treasure map, available for the first time in North America.
Nintendo release date updates show Xenoblade for North America again, Kirby in Q1 2011 for Europe
Posted on 14 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News, Wii | 3 Comments
Things to note:
– Xenoblade is listed for North America as “TBA.” However, you can probably tell that the game is still called Monado: Beginning of the World. I’m not sure if it’ll be given that name or Xenoblade overseas, but we’ll find out eventually!
– Kirby’s Epic Yarn is listed as “CY2011/Q1” for Europe. Unfortunately, this means our European friends won’t be able to play Kirby until early next year.
– Don’t get confused by the 3DS listing. It still is expected to be released sometime by the end of March 2011. We’ll find out the exact date in September.
– The Last Story is still expected to be released in Japan this year.
