3DS

Update: Already gone on Amazon strangely, but the price is still valid at GameStop.


Atlus discounted the 3DS eShop version of Shin Megami Tensei IV to $25 yesterday. Now retailers are following up with sales of their own.

Amazon and GameStop both have Shin Megami Tensei IV for $20. The sale should last for about a week or so.

Nintendo of America executive vice president of sales and marketing Scott Moffitt shared a few more words about Amiibo while speaking with GamesIndustry.

Moffitt brought up a few points, such as how Nintendo wants to do something different and not mimic the competition. He also mentioned that Amiibo offers “a great value as parents don’t have to buy a starter kit.”

Moffitt ultimately sees Amiibo as something with a lot of potential due to the growing market and adoration of Nintendo IP.

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark features an “Escalation” mode – a co-op multiplayer survival mode, essentially. In it, players team up to face off against waves of enemies.

Unfortunately, we now have confirmation that the Wii U and 3DS versions of Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark won’t include Escalation. It’s hardly surprising that the handheld version lacks the functionality, as it’s more or less a completely different experience. However, it’s a bit disappointing to see that the Wii U version of Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark won’t offer the mode since the game stacks up similarly to the other console releases.

During E3 last week, Nintendo published a new European release schedule that seems to confirm a couple of things.

First, Tetris Ultimate appears to be coming to 3DS – it was previously announced for a few different platforms. Additionally, assuming the list above is accurate, NIS America will publish Persona Q in Europe later this year.

The list is definitely legitimate, note that we haven’t yet received confirmation about Tetris Ultimate and Persona Q for Europe from Ubisoft and NISA respectively.
