SEGA planning more free-to-play games for 3DS
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Initial D Perfect Drift Online is SEGA’s first free-to-play game on 3DS. Apparently, it won’t be their last.
SEGA chief creative officer Toshihiro Nagoshi told Famitsu:
“We don’t intend to stop with this title, and after looking over its results, we’ll think about what to do next. However, unlike games for smartphones, I believe there’s a perfect shape of ways to do things, somewhere out there, for the Nintendo 3DS. I believe that finding it will be our challenge, and in many ways, Initial D will be our first step.”
“At the moment, I can say that we’ve been thinking about plenty of things. We have suggestions amongst ourselves like ‘wouldn’t this be a perfect game for a F2P title on Nintendo 3DS’ and many more. So when the time comes to talk about it… we’ll just leave it at that for now.”

Tom Mayhew purchased the 3DS for his son from Walmart, thinking it was new. However, Mayhew speculates that the system may have already been purchased, later returned, with the unwanted images left untouched.

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Image & Form has previously discussed bringing SteamWorld Dig to Wii U, but the studio seems more intent on pursuing the possibility, based on new comments made to ONM.
Co-founder Brjann Sigurgeirsson told the publication that the team is “definitely” looking into making SteamWorld a reality on Nintendo’s home platform. Sigurgeirsson also said that “Wii U would work very well for the SteamWorld series”.
Sigurgeirsson’s comments in full:
“The Wii U would work very well for the SteamWorld series, so it’s definitely one of the things that we’re looking into – we’re fortunate that we left mobile at the right time and got embraced by Nintendo when it happened.”
