3DS sells big in Japan following price drop
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
The 3DS has managed to obtain some much-needed sales momentum following a significant price drop in Japan last week. According to Radio Nikkei, the system moved 207,000 units for the week of August 8. That’s the second best-selling week for the handheld.
Nintendo’s latest portable was priced at 25,000 yen at launch. On August 8, the price was lowered to 15,000 yen.
Starting in September, Nintendo will offer ten free NES titles to early 3DS adopters. An additional round of GBA games will be available later this year.

Hideo Kojima posted the following image on his Twitter account just a short while ago:
The important part of this photo is the Z.O.E. 3DS (okay, it’s really a backward Z, but I don’t know how to make that character on the computer.) Could Kojima really be bringing a Z.O.E. title to Nintendo’s handheld?
New Wii hack doesn’t require a game
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments
Just in time for the European release of Xenoblade Chronicles comes a new Wii hack created by the homebrew community. Unlike past releases, “LetterBomb” takes advantage of the Wii Message Board rather than a game to boot up the HackMii Installer and ultimately creates the Homebrew Channel on the console.
So long as you can locate your Wii’s Wi-Fi MAC address (which should be in the system settings), you should be able to download a customized zip file that can be used on your SD card for the installation process.
You can create the zip file here and read more information about the exploit here.
G4 take a few moments to bad mouth Mega Man Legends 3 and its fans
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Videos | 0 comments
This is a pretty good way to piss off the Mega Man fanbase! I don’t think saying comments such as “nobody cared about that game” will go over well.
The video was a bit incomplete and it’s tough to make out some of the comments, so here’s the complete transcript from the Mega Man Legends 3 segment:
Reader mail: Capcom announced that the long-awaited Mega Man Legends 3 has been cancelled. As I type this now, fans are rallying to bring the game back.
Morgan Webb – I don’t know if I would have used “long-awaited”.
Adam – Or rallying.
Webb – The problem is that nobody cared about that game, so they decided no one would buy it, so they wouldn’t make it.
Sessler: Have fun rallying.
Thanks to Jake for the tip!

Max and the Magic Marker coming to Nintendo DS in North America
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, News | 0 comments
We knew this game was coming to retail in North America thanks to the ESRB, but now we finally have an official confirmation. It’s great to see Max and the Magic Marker getting another chance with consumers. It’s one of the better WiiWare titles out there, if you ask me!
EASY INTERACTIVE ANNOUNCES MAX AND THE MAGIC MARKER COMING TO NINTENDO DSTM IN NORTH AMERICA
Minneapolis, MN – August 15, 2011 – Easy Interactive™ is pleased to announce that the award-winning indie hit, Max and the Magic Marker™, is coming to Nintendo DS™ for Holiday 2011. The DS version of Max and the Magic Marker recreates all the action of the WiiWare and PC indie hit, and now brings the power of the all-important magic marker under control of the DS stylus.
Max and the Magic Marker tells the story of Max, an adventurous young boy who receives a mysterious marker pen in the mail. Playing around with it, he discovers that whatever he draws comes to life and the stage is set for a classic platform adventure romp. The player controls Max, as well as the magic marker itself, as he hops and jumps through a series of levels using the marker’s fabulous powers to drawing objects directly onto the game world and solving a wide range of problems and puzzles in Max’s efforts to catch the monster he created using his magic marker.
Max and the Magic Marker features include:
