Nintendo is preparing a couple of different 3DS XL packages around the world.
Europe and Japan will be greeted with the system that lacks a charger. The situation is different in North America, however, as the accessory will be bundled in.
We don’t know the exact reasons behind the decision to leave out the charger in Europe/Japan, but Nintendo France CEO Stephane Bole has tried to justified the situation somewhat. Bole explained that the company wouldn’t doesn’t want to “penalize the millions of DS owners” who would be forced to pay for another charger.
That’s fine and dandy, but could similar thinking have an impact on the Wii U? Maybe Nintendo would decide against bundling in a Wiimote, even though it’ll be a standard control option for many games.
Addressing the possibility, Bole said (rough translation):
“There are 200 million Wiimotes in the world. This is something you must consider before deciding which devices will be sold with the console.”
Of course, Nintendo hasn’t made an official decision regarding a Wiimote pack in with Wii U. There’s no reason to panic yet, guys!
Famitsu shared new screenshots from Project X Zone today. If you missed them, you can view all of the images here.
Along with those shots, the magazine provided a few new details about the game. We’ve summarized the information below.
– Can add a Solo Unit to a Pair Unit
– Use the Solo Unit’s skills in battle
– Solo Unit can perform a Solo Attack with the L button
– It’s possible to create an attack with five party members
– How it’s done: Perform an attack with the Pair Unit while moving
– If another Pair Unit is nearby, press R to call the other Pair Unit in for a Support Attack
– Press A to make your Solo Unit come into the attack
– The three steps above will allow five members to attack at once
… in video form, once again!
The handy comparison above shows a screen size comparison of the 3DS XL and PlayStation Vita. What can’t be shown in the photo is that the Vita has a higher pixel density. It’s 960 x 544 for the Vita screen and 400 x 240 for the 3DS’ top screen.
I was hoping Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion would get a little more attention at this year’s E3. It looks pretty neat.
Wii U is the first console from Nintendo to implement extensive social and online elements. Miiverse will allow gamers all over the world to connect with each other simply by booting up the console. You’ll be able to communicate with players through text messages, voice chat, and more.
So how did this ambitious program come about? According to Shigeru Miyamoto, it all started with Wii Fit.
