Metroid Prime: Federation Force – Lone Wolf mod makes single-player easier, a look at control configuations
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 13 Comments
Metroid Prime: Federation Force was mainly designed as a single-player experience. But you can acquire a helpful mod along the way, making play easier.
Only in single-player, it’s possible to obtain the Lone Wolf “mod”. This not only doubles the damage dealt, though also halves the damage from enemies. Metroid Prime: Federation Force also lets you fill out your party with flying attack drones. Three can be brought along when playing alone.
Kotaku has also given us a look at two different control configurations in Metroid Prime: Federation Force. The first can only be used by those with a regular 3DS, while the second is another option for New 3DS owners.
July 2016 NPD: Software sales – Monster Hunter Generations sells 165,000 copies
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 36 Comments
Aquamarine has shared more sales data from the July 2016 NPD report. This time around, we have some specifics about software in the United States.
As previously mentioned, Minecraft was one of the top sellers with more than 175,000 copies sold at retail. Monster Hunter Generations, which debuted during the month, sold over 165,000 units. Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire were also said to be best-sellers, though data is unavailable for each. However, the two Pokemon titles were apparently right behind Monster Hunter Generations.
Finally, we do know that a couple of Nintendo-published titles sold less than 50,000 copies in their second months. Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE sold much less than 35,000 units. Kirby: Planet Robobot also lacked strong sales in its second month, having sold less than 50,000 copies.

July 2016 NPD: 3DS was the best-selling system of the month
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 7 Comments
NPD will be publishing its full report next week. When that’s made available, the top 10 best-selling games in the United States during the month of July will be revealed. Until then though, we have a few random bits of data that have been shared early.
The big thing we’re hearing is that the 3DS was the best-selling overall system. The likes of Pokemon GO and Monster Hunter Generations should have played a big role here. Unfortunately, the Wii U didn’t nearly as well (to be expected at this point) with just 24,900 units sold for a 45.7 percent drop year-over-year.
As for software, the one piece of information we have is that Minecraft was the top-selling game in July. The physical version of Minecraft: Wii U Edition should have factored into that, at least slightly.
