“Lylat Wars has sold over 180,000 units in the UK. The game features in the Nintendo Power’s ‘Top 200 Nintendo Games Ever’ so I definitely think there is consumer appetite for an updated re-release, as the original title was so popular.”

Star Fox 64 sold fairly well back in the day, but times have changed since then. I have a rather bad feeling that the 3D remake won’t be nearly as successful. I do hope I’m proven wrong, though.

By the way, in case you’re wondering, Lylat Wars is Star Fox 64. That title was given to the game in Europe.

Solatorobo comes with a soundtrack

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments

XSEED has announced that Solatorobo: Red the Hunter will come with a 24-track CD when it launches in September. Considering that there haven’t been a ton of 3DS games to play and knowing that Solatorobo is a great game, I don’t see what’s stopping anyone from picking this up… especially knowing that you’ll get a free soundtrack with it as well!

XSEED Games is pleased to announce that the highly anticipated upcoming Nintendo DS action-RPG title: Solatorobo: Red the Hunter, will contain an accompanying soundtrack CD with each first run copy when it ships in September, at an MSRP of $34.99. Celebrated for its artistic visuals and enthralling storytelling, the music in the game is equally as spirited and memorable.
The Solatorobo: Red the Hunter soundtrack is a replica of the original Japanese version and features 24 tracks that set a playful mood for some of the game’s light-hearted dialogue, while contrasting with a full orchestral score that foreshadows the epic struggle for survival that awaits protagonist Red Savarin.

According to the OFLC, Modern Warfare 3’s full name on DS will be “Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3: Defiance”. We’ve seen a similar situation in the past. In 2009, n-Space’s Modern Warfare has a subtitle of “Mobilized”.

3DS Ambassador program games are eligible for Club Nintendo coins

Another bonus 3DS Ambassadors can receive as being part of the program is extra Club Nintendo coins. Nintendo confirms in a Q&A that all twenty games can be linked to a member’s account. I imagine that post-play surveys will be available as well, so you could earn a ton of coins by just downloading the titles.

“Nintendo 3DS Ambassadors who link their Nintendo 3DS systems to their Club Nintendo account prior to downloading their games will be eligible to earn Coins for the 20 free games.”
