Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
This information comes from Nintendo Power…

– Results will play out pretty much identically in the Wii/3DS versions
– Games will have the same content
– 3DS version will look very similar to the Wii game
– Each time period will have its own screen during story sequences
– Beenox says the 3D effect won’t be overblown
– 3D will be used to enhance certain moments, like heightening the thrill of 2099’s free-fall sequences
DS
– Developed by Other Ocean (Dark Void Zero)
– Side-scrolling action
– Own art style and feel
– Swap between the present and 2099 at any time to control those periods’ heroes

July 2011 NPD hardware sales
Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, News, Wii | 0 comments
Nintendo DS: Best selling platform.
Xbox 360: 277K (-37.5%)
Wii: 190K (-25%)
PS3: 148k (-31%)
Regarding the 3DS, we can determine that the system sold no more than 114,000 units in the United States last month. The exact NPD figure isn’t available, so it’s possible that the actual sales number is significantly lower than 114K.
And while is unclear how well the DS sold, it’s been confirmed that it was the best-selling system last month – that’s according to Nintendo’s press release.
