Nintendo customer service says 3DS Miiverse won’t let you exchange messages with friends, no friend requests
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 23 Comments
The 3DS version of Miiverse will seemingly be missing two prominent elements included in its Wii U counterpart. An email response provided by one Nintendo of America customer service representative says users will be unable to exchange messages with friends, and there will be no feature in place which allows friend requests to be sent. It’s a bit of a shame to hear the news, though perhaps these two elements could be added in the future.

October 2013 NPD: rough hardware estimates
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii, Wii U | 2 Comments
NPD never hands out hardware data these days, meaning we usually have to rely on leaks and estimates in order to find out how well systems perform each month. Thankfully, NeoGAF user “creamsugar” has come through with a decent overview of October’s sales in the US.
Here’s a general estimate provided by creamsugar’s leak:
PSV < 30k < Wii < 40k < 50k < Wii U < 60k < 100k < PS3 < 120k This figure suggests that the Wii U managed to outsell the Wii, which the console has had a tough time doing most of the year. Wii U apparently sold between 50,000 and 60,000 units while the Wii moved between 30,000 and 40,000 consoles. Source
October 2013 NPD: Sonic Lost World sells under 30,000 copies on Wii U/3DS in first week
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 5 Comments
Sonic Lost World’s debut sales in the US are in. For the month of October, the game sold under 30,000 copies. That figure combines sales of both versions – Wii U and 3DS.
Now, 30,000 copies isn’t a whole lot, but there is something important to keep in mind. Sonic Lost World launched in North America on October 29. NPD’s latest reporting period ended on November 2. This means Sonic’s debut sales account for a little less than a week of sales.
