Two Brothers not planned for 3DS, but dev “would love” to create a game for the system

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

Two Brothers is something that would seem perfect for the 3DS. The game’s Game Boy-esque art style and RPG gameplay would be more than welcome on Nintendo’s portable.

Unfortunately, Two Brothers is only for the Wii U eShop at the moment. While the developer would “love to make a 3DS game as some point”, bringing its upcoming title to the system “would require a complete remake.”

According to AckkStudios producer Andrew Allanson:

“3DS is harder, as it doesn’t support our code base, and would require a complete remake. We would love to make a 3DS game as some point though.”

Nintendo hosting some kind of all-day 3DS event in a couple of weeks

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

This is interesting. Nintendo will be holding an all-day 3DS event for the media in just two weeks, according to IGN editor Rich George.

George tweeted a few minutes ago:

A couple weeks from now, Nintendo is hosting an all-day 3DS event of some sort. Curious..
— Rich (@RichIGN) April 3, 2013

Nintendo actually doesn’t have much 3DS software in the pipeline for North America for the second half of 2013. LEGO City Undercover: The Chase Begins is coming out this month, Donkey Kong Country Returns 3D is coming in May, and Animal Crossing is due in June. Beyond this, it’s unclear what else is in store. Maybe there will be an announcement or two? Or perhaps this is a chance to highlight more 3DS eShop games?

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

Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate has been difficult to find in European shops. There is, fortunately, more stock on the way.

Nintendo of Europe president Satoru Shibata took to Twitter and apologized for the shortages, and noted that more stock will be available for the Wii U version next week and 3DS in mid-April. In the meantime, consumers can opt to purchase the game digitally through the eShop.

[Shibata] I’d like to apologise for the current stock shortage due to high demand of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate at retail. (1/3)
— Nintendo UK (@NintendoUK) April 3, 2013

[Shibata] New #MH3U stock will hopefully be available in shops next week for Wii U and mid April for Nintendo 3DS. (2/3)
