We’ve said it before and we’ll say it again: Square Enix’s Bravely Default is a great-looking 3DS game. The company released a new batch of screenshots today, and even though the images are low-quality, we’re not concerned about the title’s visuals
You can find all of the new shots in the gallery above.
After the 3DS’ inital rocky start, it’s pretty amazing to see how quickly the system has managed to turn around. The 3DS has been doing very well since last year’s price drop, reaching sales goals left and right.
Last month, it hit another milestone. According to USA Today (via NPD analyst Anita Frazier), the “3DS has outsold the Nintendo DS by about 1 million units in their respective first 14 months in the market”.
4.5 million 3DS units have been sold in the U.S. in its first year.
Perhaps Xenoblade Chronicles didn’t perform terribly in the U.S. after all. We might not actually find out how the game sold last month, as Eurogamer says that it wasn’t included in April’s NPD report. This is apparently because it’s a retailer exclusive.
I personally have no way of verifying that information, but it would make things much more interesting if true.
The DSi and DSi XL will receive price drop in North America later this month. Nintendo of Europe, however, do not have any plans to reduce the prices of the two handhelds.
In a statement, Nintendo UK said:
“Although this announcement has been made in the US, the European and UK market don’t have anything to announce at this time.”
As we mentioned previously, Chronicles of Vampires: The Awakening will be hitting the eShop/DSi shop next week. It’ll cost $4.99/500 points.
