A new 3DS system update is now available to users. After applying the download, you’ll receive firmware version 6.2.0-12. It’s highlighted by the addition of StreetPass relay functionality – a feature that is intended to spread the usage of StreetPass connections among 3DS users.
Young Justice: Legacy is coming out in September – that is, on non-Nintendo platforms (and PC).
We heard about a delay for the Wii U, Wii, and 3DS versions back in June. Now the news had been made official, and with a new tentative release window.
It did initially seem like a launch would be coming in 2014, but as it turns out, it’s only a two month delay. The official Young Justice: Legacy Facebook page notes:
The Nintendo versions will have the same story from Brandon and Greg and will be using the same art, but will have their own combat style to take advantage of their unique controls. We’ll be showing off some screenshots soon.
However development is running a little behind, so the official release date has been pushed back to November this year. We sincerely apologize for the delay. We appreciate how patient fans of the show have been.
“I think the big question to me, as the expectations of these big triple-As keep on growing and the consoles become more powerful and teams get bigger, is how do we keep the costs in line? That’s for sure one of the things that is going to stifle innovation eventually. Anytime you want to make a big triple-A, you’re spending, let’s say $100 million, you’re not going to want to take a chance. It’s got to be, I’m making the next Call of Duty or the Assassin’s Creed and I know it’s going to make ‘X’ amount, so we’ll make money. I think that’s the tougher thing.”
– Managing Director of Ubisoft Toronto Jade Raymond
Raymond went on to say that she believes developers need to find new ways to make money if they want to keep making huge, AAA, innovative titles. Budgets like that aren’t conducive to innovation unless you can find another source of revenue.
Big John Games’ newest 3DS game is titled “Smash Bowling 3D”. It’s due out this Thursday for $4.99.
Smash Bowling 3D contains two control schemes (buttons, touch), a multiplayer pass around mode, and a practice mode. Players can also spend time earning trophies, unlocking bowling ball designs and alleys, and going over their various stats tracked by the game.
More details about Smash Bowling 3D can be found through an official overview posted after the break.
Xenoblade Chronicles’ rarity has continued to rise over the past few months. Likewise, GameStop’s price for a pre-owned copy has increased. Xenoblade is now at a point in which it has become the retailer’s most-expensive pre-owned game.
It’s not in stock online at the moment, but a used copy will set you back $90 in store. Only two products on GameStop’s site cost more in the pre-owned section: the “Xbox 360 Bang for the Buck Game Bundle” and “Ultimate Epic Zombie Bundle“. Both of these, however, include multiple games.
