3DS

Looks like today’s the big New Super Mario Bros 2. blowout…


Nintendo placed a Rayman Origins demo on the 3DS eShop last month. Now it’s disappeared. Actually, the entire “page” for Rayman Origins is gone.

My guess is that the content has been removed due to the game’s delay. It won’t be shipping in North America until Q3.


NPD Group has released a listing of the top ten best-selling games in the U.S. for the month of June. The results can be found below.

Recent comments from a Nintendo customer service representative indicated that the Wii U and 3DS would eventually get unified accounts. In other words, the two systems would be tied together in some ways through the technology.

Now Nintendo is backing away from these remarks. Charlie Scibetta, Sr. Director of Corporate Communications at Nintendo of America, has attempted to clarify the situation.

Scibetta said:

“Nintendo has already announced the Nintendo Network as a unified ‘network platform’ that delivers current and future online services to the Nintendo 3DS system and the upcoming Wii U console. These services include, but are not limited to, multiplayer online game play and the ability to download both add-on content and full games that are also available as packaged software. Further details on these services will be revealed at a later date.

“However, there is no current announcement concerning a unified online ‘account system’ between Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, which suggests payment implications that Nintendo is not ready to confirm at this time. We hope this clarifies any misunderstanding.”

Adventure Time: Hey Ice King! Why’d you steal our garbage?! is apparently getting a Collector’s Edition. While D3Publisher hasn’t confirmed the product, it’s rumored that the following items will be included:

Steelbook packaging decorated like the Enchiridion, a book in the Adventure Time series.
A custom stylus modeled after Finn’s golden sword
An exclusive art book and activity book
A fold-out poster of the Land of Ooo

There’s a tiny bit of talk about the Collector’s Edition being exclusive to GameStop. That hasn’t been confirmed, though, nor has the package itself.
