Harada would like to see the big three team up to make one console
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
The chances of Sony, Microsoft, and Nintendo teaming up to make a console are pretty much slim to none. That doesn’t mean that we can’t dream though, right?
Tekken chief Katsuhiro Harada is one such person that would like to see this happen. He believes that having just one system around could open the door to a wide array of different possibilities.
Harada said:
“I think it would be interesting if Sony, Microsoft and Nintendo got together just to make one console. It makes me very happy to think about all the possibilities that could occur because of that.”
Getting all three of these companies to collaborate truly seems impossible. Just think of all of the different roadblocks that could get in the way…
How long it takes to download New Super Mario Bros. 2
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Update: Another test from IGN came in at only 13 minutes. That’s a pretty big difference. Hmm…
Downloading New Super Mario Bros. 2 from the eShop may clock in at close to an hour for most. An initial test done with a US region 3DS and a US game code took 46 minutes to complete.
All things considered, this isn’t a horrible download time. New Super Mario Bros. is 2,725 blocks, which translates to 340MB. Downloading that kind of file size does take time!

Retailers post Wii U boxart images

Update: Bumped to the front page with a FIFA 13 boxart from GameStop.
We’ve seen so many Wii U “boxarts” that’s it has become difficult to know what’s reliable and what isn’t. However, the images above may have more credibility compared to past photos.
Amazon.ca has posted Wii U boxarts for Assassin’s Creed III, Just Dance 4, and Marvel Avengers: Battle for Earth. Target has the same boxart up for ACIII.
No, this doesn’t mean that these will turn out to be the final Wii U boxes. We probably won’t know for sure for a couple of months.
