Game developer Marvelous Entertainment has said in a recent investor Q&A that they expect 3DS development costs to be much higher than current DS costs, with the prices ranging anywhere from ¥70 million ($840,000) and ¥100-150 million ($1.2 to $1.8 million), depending on the game. As Gamesutra reports, DS costs currently are around ¥4.4 million ($53,000) on the low end and ¥44 million ($527,000) for a standard DS title. For Marvelous, Wii budgets are estimated at ¥2 million ($24,000) to ¥116 million ($1.4 million). This means that some 3DS games could cost around as much to develop as Wii games, and in some cases as much as higher end consoles.

No word on how true this is, but is it just an estimate from a developer. We’ll keep tabs on any other info we may get!

Man, we do not have the best luck with the technical side of things here at NE! For those that may or may not be aware, the site was down from about 7AM EST this morning until around half an hour ago for unexplained reasons, but fortunately things are back to normal now! I’ll do my best to get the site back up to speed, and then Valay will take over as soon as he returns.

Thanks for your patience guys! We certainly appreciate it.

Last night, we here at NintendoEverything.com all gathered together with some of you readers for what has become known unofficially as “Nintendo Game Night”, and we were very excited to be able to play the recently released 007: Goldeneye for Wii. We loaded the game up and hopped online, but I began noticing some things that have bogged us down for a while now in terms of the way we organize the whole event. I’m looking to fix them, because Game Nights are already incredibly fun, but I’m fixing to make them even better for myself and for all of you guys by implementing one very important guideline:

Get your friend codes up before Game Night actually starts

Whether it be via e-mail, comments, or on the forum, it would streamline everything so much if we can get your friend codes before the night actually comes. Basically if you want to play, all you have to do is post your friend code on the Game Night post (which will be going up tomorrow evening), in the Game Night thread (which will be going up tomorrow evening) or e-mail it to me at [email protected]

If you already submitted your friend code for a particular game, you don’t need to submit it again, but it would be incredibly helpful if you could post/comment/e-mail me that you do indeed want to play. That way I can just post up a list of all the people who’ll be playing, and everyone can add them without trouble!

This means instead of “starting” at 7 and not playing until 7:30, we’ll actually be able to hop in and go with no trouble. If you have any questions about the process, comment on this story or e-mail me! Of course, you’re still free to just drop in and give us your code in the IRC, but we’d really appreciate if you could let us know beforehand!

Thanks to all of you for playing, and we sincerely look forward to you playing with us this weekend! I’ll post up the exact time/what we’re playing tomorrow.

Cambridge, Mass. – Nov. 19, 2010 – Harmonix and MTV Games today announced that John Lennon’s masterful album, Imagine, including a track with Pro Guitar and Pro Bass, will be available Nov. 23 in the Rock Band 3 Music Store of downloadable content for the Xbox 360® video game and entertainment system from Microsoft, PlayStation®3 computer entertainment system and Wii™.

We’re very excited to be able to bring this masterpiece to Rock Band fans.”
