How do you make up for poor financial results and a downturn in business? Well, if you’re Nintendo, you can reduce employee bonuses.
That’s exactly what the Big N intends to do, as reported by Nikkei and Reuters. The publications say that Nintendo will cut summer bonuses by 20 percent.
Last week, Kirby’s Dream Collection Special Edition received a September 2012 in North America. Japan, on the other hand, is getting the package a couple of months earlier.
Kirby’s Dream Collection launches in Japan on July 19. That’s only a month away, so Nintendo should be providing details and screenshots soon.
This video was taken from the final European build. Unfortunately, Rayman Origins 3DS won’t be available in North America until Q3 2012.
It’s been a long wait for European 3DS owners, but Mutant Mudds will be available on the eShop very soon – next week, actually!
The official Nintendo UK Twitter account has provided the release date news, so it’s official: European gamers can purchase Mutant Mudds on June 21.
A Dragon Quest X Wii hardware bundle is on its way to Japan.
Although not officially announced, Nintendo’s release calender lists “Dragon Quest X Wii System Bundle”. It’ll include a hardware system, a copy of the game, a black Classic Controller Pro, a Wii USB Memory card, and a ¥1000 Nintendo Prepaid card. Pricing details will be provided once the bundle is made official.
There’s also a second, non-hardware bundle planned for Japan which includes the game and a Wii USB Memory card. You can find the boxart for its packaging above.
Thanks to 4Him for the tip.
Max Factory is readying a new Figma Zelda: Skyward Sword figure featuring Link. The product will be releasing in Japan this October for 3,800 yen. That’s only $48 or so – not a bad price for an impressive figure!
As much as we love Ubisoft, some of their decisions have been baffling. Case in point: Rayman Origins 3DS.
The game was pushed back once again in North America last week, but not to improve its quality. Ubisoft was simply waiting for the right time to launch the title so that it could promote another upcoming product, Rayman Legends.
Rayman Origins’s delay only applies to the US. European consumers can actually run out and purchase the game right now.
The situation doesn’t make much sense, but it is what it is.
