“Ubisoft has always been a big Nintendo supporter and we’ve always positioned ourselves early on their new formats. I know that sales of the 3DS haven’t been up to the level Nintendo initially hoped but there are some key brands coming to the format and these will be big hardware drivers in the run up to Christmas. I’m certain that 3DS will have a good Christmas.”

The 3DS’ poor sales shouldn’t be shocking to anyone. Simply put, the game is lacking must-have software. There’s a couple of enjoyable games, but nothing to really make anyone rush out and purchase the system. Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, Mario Kart 3D, and Super Mario 3DS should make an impact on the situation.

Square Enix, n-Space team up for Heroes of Ruin

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments

In April, it was discovered that Square Enix filed a trademark for Heroes of Ruin. The title has been unveiled today, and may surprise some fans.

It looks like n-Space is teaming up with Square Enix to bring this brand new project to the 3DS. This is n-Space’s first game for the handheld, and I believe this is their first partnership with Square Enix. Only one piece of art has been released, but hopefully we’ll receive some concrete information soon.
