An estimate from Cowen & Company’s Doug Creutz indicates that Animal Crossing: New Leaf sold roughly 500,000 copies in the US last month. The 3DS game, along with The Last of Us, are said to be the only two new releases that sold over 100,000 units in June.

We should get a better idea as to how Animal Crossing performed when the official NPD data arrives this Thursday.

Warner Bros. announces The LEGO Movie Videogame

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments

Warner Bros. has announced The LEGO Movie Videogame, set to launch alongside “The LEGO Movie” in 2014. A release is planned on the PlayStation 4, PlayStation 3, Xbox One, Xbox 360, Wii U, PC, 3DS, and PS Vita.

In a scenario drawn from the film, The LEGO Movie Videogame puts LEGO kids into the role of Emmet, an ordinary, rules-following, perfectly average LEGO minifigure who is mistakenly identified as the most extraordinary person and the key to saving the world. Players guide him as he is drafted into a fellowship of strangers on an epic quest to stop an evil tyrant, a journey for which Emmet is hopelessly and hilariously underprepared.

Players can collect and use various LEGO instruction pages to create construction sets. You’ll also be able to “harness the awesome power of the Master Builders to virtually build extraordinary LEGO creations along the way.” TT Games wil be adding in over 90 playable characters and 15 levels.

Shin’en: “Wii U GPU and its API are straightforward”, easy to use

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 5 Comments

If there’s one developer that has praised the Wii U’s technical specs more than any other, it would be Shin’en. The developer has consistently stuck up for the hardware’s GPU in particular. Just a few months ago, Shin’en said that the GPU “is several generations ahead of the current gen.”

Writing on Twitter yesterday, Shin’en once again had high praise for this aspect of the Wii U. The company sent out a couple of tweets stating that the “Wii U GPU and its API are straightforward”, adding how it possesses “plenty of high bandwidth memory” and is “easy” to use.

The tweets are as follows:

@JonGryphon @IndieGamerChick @EdDiGeronimo Wii U GPU and its API are straightforward. Has plenty of high bandwidth memory. Really easy.

@JonGryphon @IndieGamerChick @EdDiGeronimo Especially easy when compared with the tricks you need to do on current gen consoles.
— Shin'en Multimedia (@ShinenGames) July 15, 2013

Shin’en also shared this nugget comparing Wii U and 3DS development:

@EdDiGeronimo @ShinenGames Getting into Wii U was much easier then 3DS. Plenty of resources, much faster dev environment.
