FIFA 14 3DS lacks updated gameplay, new modes

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories | 0 comments

FIFA 14 for 3DS is more or less the same game as last year.

In Nintendo’s weekly Nintendo Download report, a blurb about the sports game confirms that there are “no updates to gameplay or game modes.” The only changes are apparent through “updated kits and rosters”. That’s it, folks.

Here’s the description in full:

“FIFA 14 Legacy Edition delivers unmatched authenticity that reflects the current football season with updated kits and rosters but no updates to gameplay or game modes. It features 30 officially licensed leagues, 50 real-world tournaments, and 500 authentic clubs. Play traditional matches or free your game in epic 5-v-5 street matches with 3D effects. Play as a real-world superstar or re-create yourself. Optional touch screen controls deliver pin-point shooting and passing at your finger-tips.”

Yamauchi memorial attended by over 2,000 people, Nintendo not selling Mariners stake

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments

A memorial was held for Hiroshi Yamauchi on Saturday, after the former Nintendo president passed away due to complications of pneumonia. Over 2,000 people attended the event, Mariner’s chairman/CEO and Nintendo of America board of directors member Howard Lincoln told The Business Journals.

Lincoln, recalling memories of Yamauchi, only had positive things to say.

“There’s a flood of recollections. I’ve known and worked for him (Yamauchi) for more than 30 years. More than 2,000 people came to his (memorial) in Japan on Saturday, I was told. He was a man of small stature and commanding presence. People liked him. I saw him in action in Japan and the United States, and he was always very warm. He was a visionary. We need to think about and never forget all he did for Seattle and for the Northwest.”

Yamauchi was former owner of the Seattle Marines before Nintendo of America – represented by Lincoln – took over. Despite his passing, the company “has no plans to sell its majority interest” in the team.

Along with today’s screenshot, Sakurai passed along the following message:

“The speed and power of Samus’s Charge Shot has been drastically improved. However, that could potentially put her in danger on occasion.”
