Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers features online play
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Very rarely do Wii Virtual Console games contain online play. SEGA included the Wi-Fi feature with Puyo Puyo… and that’s it, for the most part.
Another VC release, Super Street Fighter II: The New Challengers, allows players to battle online. The game was placed on the Wii Shop Channel earlier this week in Japan under the Mega Drive section. It likely won’t leave Japan, but it is nevertheless interesting to see that online play has been added to the experience.

October NPD: Nintendo 3DS Poised to Surpass First-Year Sales of Nintendo DS – Wii/3DS/DS sales
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
In its eighth month on the market, the Nintendo 3DS™ system crossed 1.65 million units sold in the U.S., according to the NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States. This milestone puts the platform on track to surpass the first-year total of Nintendo DS™, the best-selling game platform in U.S. history.
The Nintendo DS system sold 2.37 million units in its first 12 months (November 2004-October 2005), with approximately 50 percent of those sales occurring in the holiday time frame. With its first holiday season and the launches of the Super Mario 3D Land™ and Mario Kart™ 7 games on the horizon, Nintendo 3DS is poised to eclipse that number and establish a new benchmark for hand-held gaming launches in the United States.
