Capcom says Monster Hunter 4 is one of their big games for this fiscal year
Posted on 12 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Taking its place aside Lost Planet 3, Monster Hunter 4 is poised for a massive marketing push and support in the west as Capcom plans on having it and the aforementioned sci-fi shooter hold up the company into the coming fiscal year. We saw something vaguely similar happen with Monster Hunter Tri on the Wii which sold fairly well for what it was, but I’d wonder if the more “core” orientation of the 3DS will help out Monster Hunter 4 where the third couldn’t gain traction.

Marvelous AQL working on Pokemon Tretta Lab for 3DS
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
With official backing from Nintendo, Marvelous AQL created “Pokemon Tretta” for the Japanese arcades. It has players collecting different “Tretta” – take a look above for some examples.
What exactly is Pokemon Tretta, you ask? In it, players scan different Tretta into the machine, call out the appropriate Pokemon, and then engage in a 3-on-3 battle. Those who win receive new Tretta.
Pokemon Tretta is now making its way to the 3DS. Marvelous AQL has been put in charge of the project once again. Each copy will come with a Tretta reader device.
Pokémon Tretta Lab for 3DS is due out on August 10th for 3,800 yen.

Just Cause dev has no Wii U plans, says dev kits are collecting dust and install base is too small
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Chances are that we won’t be seeing any games from Just Cause developer Avalanche Studios on the Wii U anytime soon.
In an interview with Norwegian site PressFire, founder Christofer Sundberg said that his only dealings with the console is through Skylanders Giants, which his children play. Although Avalanche does have a Wii U dev kit in its possession, it’s collecting dust, and the company doesn’t have any Wii U plans. The console’s install base is too small, according to Sundberg.
Sundberg also noted that it has been difficult to get in touch with and cooperate with Nintendo. It was only through Avalanche’s publisher that the studio was able to get through.
Sundberg finished by giving some advice to Nintendo: reach out to developers like Sony.
“I think Nintendo has much to gain by going the same way as Sony, by stretching out a hand to the developers so as to include even more, says Sundberg. If it happened, would be developing felt more enthusiasm, and perhaps had wanted to make something cool and good. In Nintendo’s case, it could have acted on the use of GamePad controller for the Wii U. – roughly translated Sundberg quote”
