Posted on 10 years ago by Kirara Koneko(@KiraraKoneko) in 3DS, News, Videos | 0 comments
Recently the Producer of Dragon Quest VIII: Journey of the Cursed King, Noriyoshi Fujimoto spent some time with V-Jump to talk a little bit about the game and some of the aspects specific to the 3DS. Thanks to Siliconera, we have some of the details.
Here is some of the latest information:
– Dragon Quest VIII on 3DS will have visible encounters similar to those from Dragon Quest VII for the 3DS.
– Maps are very easy to navigate, locations are marked and you can simply touch on a location to get the name.
– Fields in the game won’t support stereoscopic 3D as it would have taken up double the memory and affected their ability to add the visible encounters as well as limited the distances you would be able to see in stereoscopic 3D.
– Dragon Quest VIII on the 3Ds also adds blue treasure chest that will respawn over time, and could contain items such as gold.
Check out the full conversation in the video below.

May 2015 NPD: Splatoon sells 136,000 copies
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 64 Comments
NPD published its latest software chart based on data collected throughout May on the U.S. market. As Splatoon launched on May 29, it just managed to sneak its way into the reporting period.
Splatoon managed to take the fifth spot in NPD’s chart for May. But the big question is, how many copies did the game actually sell?
NPD hasn’t provided specific numbers in ages, and Nintendo did not send out a response to the May report. But thankfully, well-known sales leaker “creamsugar” has come through with data. creamsugar says that Splatoon sold 136,000 copies in May, which is based on just two days of sales.
Splatoon’s U.S. debut is fairly similar to its performance in Japan. Through four days, the title sold 145,000 units on the Japanese market.

Shovel Knight appearing in Bloodstained, third playable character and prequel mini-game stretch goals reached
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 3 Comments
The latest Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night Kickstater update covers a unique character as well as confirmation of two new stretch goals that have been reached.
Regarding Shovel Knight, Yacht Club Games has signed off on featuring the character in some fashion. We don’t know what exactly is planned just yet, however.
The team behind Bloodstained writes in its latest Kickstarter update:
Remember Natsume’s Shovel Knight fanart from earlier in the campaign? It’s been about a decade, in Kickstarter years, so I’ll refresh your memory (see above).
We’ve got good news: Inti Creates and Yacht Club Games have agreed that Natsume’s reimagining of their hero feels right at home in the demon castle!
They won’t tell us any more than that, but when the game comes out remember that you might bump into this guy in a crowded corridor somewhere. Who knows what might happen after that?
