More 3DS titles were present at this year’s Tokyo Game Show, according to an official document distribution by the Consumer Entertainment Supplier’s Association. Whereas Nintendo’s handheld had 29 games on the show floor last year, in 2016, there were 36 this time around.
Unsurprisingly, Wii U saw a dip. The console was represented with 23 games in 2015, but only 13 this year.
Here’s the full breakdown by platform – numbers in parenthesis are from 2015:
iOS – 220 (252)
Android – 203 (252)
Smartphone (other) – 15 (6)
3DS – 36 (29)
Wii U – 13 (23)
PlayStation 4 – 116 (103)
PlayStation 3 – 15 (39)

In total, TGS 2016 had 1,523 titles, up from 1,283 last year.

Here’s the news from Nintendo’s Twitter page:
While playing Pokemon GO last night, Twitch user Rickeybot was assaulted and robbed in New York’s Central Park. It all took place as the game was being streamed. Luckily, the assailant’s face was shown on camera, which should make it easier for police to take action.
Before heading to the hospital, Rickeybot reported the crime. Those watching the broadcast on Twitch also put in calls to the police.
Rickeybot did post the following on Twitter earlier today:
I got mugged playing Pokémon GO in Central Park. Still talking to police and will go to hospital soon. My jaw is a mess. Thanks all.

Hey guys, thanks again for everything! I have it all on video and it is better quality than the VOD, so passing the vid to the police asap

We’ve posted a video of the situation after the break. Obviously it isn’t the best thing to watch!
