Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Nintendo has significant marketing plans Animal Crossing: New Leaf. In the UK, the company plans to launch a “large TV campaign from launch which will run across the summer and we’ll be supporting it via press in both gamer and kids titles.” Promotion through Twitter and Facebook
Nintendo UK product manager Roger Langford told MCV:
“We’re excited to be bringing Animal Crossing New Leaf to the UK. It’s our biggest focus for 3DS this summer. We’re looking forward to exciting both existing fans and introducing new comers to the franchise. We’ll have a large TV campaign from launch which will run across the summer and we’ll be supporting it via press in both gamer and kids titles. The launch of the Facebook and Twitter pages means momentum is already starting to grow.”
Animal Crossing will be returning to the portable space following Animal Crossing: City Folk for Wii. The series is best-suited for handhelds, Langford says.
“Handheld is the natural home for Animal Crossing as it’s very much a game that players want to dip in and out of.”

More Batman – Blategate FPS talk, no lead platform, only graphical differences
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Fresh Batman: Arkham Origins – Blackgate technical tidbits have been dug up on the Twitter account of Jack Mathews, technical director and co-founder of Armature Studio.
Mathews’ first comment once again addresses the topic of framerate:
@spectacoptical If we don’t hit 30, we’re not doing our jobs.
— Jack Mathews (@jack_mathews) April 15, 2013
Next, there is no lead platform according to Mathews:
@ramkhai21 It’s a combined effort. Most everyone has both dev kits on their desk. Platforms too different to concentrate on one lead.
— Jack Mathews (@jack_mathews) April 21, 2013
Lastly, the only differences between the 3DS and PlayStation Vita versions are visual, Mathews said:
@goldmetalsonic @nikatapi Mostly justdifferences in gfx. Vita has higher res assets, 3DS has 3D.
