GAME selling Monster Hunter 3 Double Pack

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

Capcom has given us a dilemma. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is coming out in March, but for two platforms: Wii U and 3DS. Which version should you buy? Some fans are thinking about picking up both.

For series followers in the UK, GAME has put up a pre-order page for a “Monster Hunter 3 Double Pack”. It includes Ultimate for Wii U and 3DS. Buying the two separately would set you back £73, so you’d saving a tiny bit by purchasing the Double Pack for £70.

You can find additional information on GAME’s site here.

Bravely Default ships 300,000 copies, producer teases future developments

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

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy has been a smashing success for Square Enix. Since launch, the publisher shipped 300,000 copies throughout Japan.

Producer Tomoya Asano told 4Gamer:

“Yes, I’d like to report to everyone that Bravery Default has broken over 300,000 copies shipped. I think by the end of the month, the sales numbers will achieve 300,000.”

No one (well, aside from the folks at Square Enix) knows what lies in the future for Bravely Default, but the IP is far from done. Asano teased future developments while speaking with 4Gamer:

“The official [Bravely Default] Twitter account has been in a silent state lately, partly because the consumer camp has been all out of information. However, from this year to about next year, I’m thinking there are a lot of things that I want to prepare for everyone to look forward to, so please continue to follow the Twitter account. I want to share information with everyone as soon as developments start again, so thank you in advance.”

2013 GDC Awards – Nominees announced

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

The GDC awards are a pretty big deal, because it’s one of the few gaming awards shows that isn’t chosen by the public and isn’t chosen by some big name media company (like the VGAs)– the winners of this award are chosen by developers, for developers. Winning one of these means your peers who work in the same industry as you think highly of your product, and that’s a pretty cool thing!

You can find the nominees for all of the GDC Awards this year (which happens on March 27th at GDC) after the jump.
