3DS

LEGO City: Undercover are two very different games on the Wii U and 3DS, but that doesn’t mean we can’t compare them, right?

Update: Our guess was correct, somewhat. Rogers has now clarified:

The ever-reliable Emily Rogers has tweeted a couple of interesting notes regarding future features for the eShop and Virtual Console. Rogers wouldn’t say much, but did tease that “There may come a time in the future when owning both a Wii U and 3DS will become beneficial.”

Perhaps Nintendo could be working on a cross-buy option for Virtual Console titles? As in, if you buy one VC game on the Wii U, you’d get its counterpart for free (or at a reduced price) on the 3DS and vice versa? Just a guess!

Thanks to the launch of Fire Emblem: Awakening and other recent releases, the 3DS has seen a significant boost in the UK. Sales of the handheld are up 49% over the previous week.

Awakening itself was extremely successful in its debut week. The game reached the third spot on the UK charts, according to data provided by Chart-Track.

Nintendo made a special Fire Emblem: Awakening 3DS XL bundle available to consumers in the UK last week. 31% of 3DS sales came from this product.

The 3DS XL has had its fair share of Pokemon-themed systems in Japan. The country already received the Pikachu design as well as a Charizard handheld.

Nintendo and the Pokemon Company aren’t stopping there. Japan will be getting yet another specially-designed 3DS XL systems on May 15, and rumors suggest that Eevee could be featured this time around. The new handheld design will be available to celebrate the 15th anniversary of the Pokemon Center outlets.

Consumers will be given the opportunity to purchase the new system if they enter and win a lottery, as was the case with the Charizard 3DS XL.

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– Chase McCain is known by the thankful citizens of LEGO City as a legendary police officer. But where did his story begin? Every legend has to start somewhere. LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins, available now exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS™ system, is a prequel to the well-received LEGO City Undercover game for Wii U™. The story is set two years before the events of the Wii U game and follows Chase McCain as a rookie cop trying to prove himself in LEGO City.

“LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins builds on the same action-filled game play and humor of LEGO City Undercover for Wii U,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Every member of the family can experience Chase’s exciting journey from rookie to legend, on the go with their Nintendo 3DS systems.”


Nintendo has announced a new 3DS XL color variation for the UK. Starting on May 31, consumers can get their hands on a pink 3DS XL.

This is a standalone product, to be clear. It isn’t bundled with any particular game.
