admin — Fri, 02 Dec 2011 16:00:30 +0000

Third party Capcom wanted to put up the demo of the new Resident Evil Revelations and had been waiting for Nintendo to give a nod. According to the producer of the game Masachika Kawata the new game has some fascinating features besides being a 3DS game and these will definitely give rise to developing new Nintendo DS accessories.

It seems that the new Revelations is a survival horror game and there are new aspects of how the character feels the need to survive. There will be less bullets cluttering up the screen. There will be considerable less use of ammunition instead the character will have to hunt out the hidden items that will help in survival. The search with the scanner will probably bring out the aspect of survival horror.

Capcom is a third party that is putting in a lot of effort in to the new Resident Evil: revelations game that is originally a 3DS game. Capcom has made the single-player mode especially interesting with the action taking place in a cruise ship. There is in addition a Raid Mode that will allow two players to play over WiFi or local wireless. Capcom has made it more interesting by making a different currency for Raid Mode. You can complete maps and kill monsters to earn cash that can be carried from one mission to the next to buy ammunition, guns and upgrades.

Circle Pad Pro may not be one of the Nintendo DS accessories but Capcom is planning to have it used for the new game. This is an attachment that fits into the back of the 3DS and allows for an extra trigger and analog stick and so movement can be controlled. Even without the attachment Revelations will play fine.

29, October 2011: Satoru Iwata, the Nintendo President, has made an announcement that the company intends to create new titles for the casual games especially for those consumers who are not interested in video games. The company is working hard to achieve this aim and will hope to see the new games out by the next fiscal year.

The casual games the company is talking about making are going to be like Wii sports and Fit Brain Training which are aimed at getting more people to buy the 3DS and its accompanying Nintendo DS accessories. Plunging sales have obviously brought about this thinking. This is the reason that Nintendo is developing new genres of the software to target a newer audience who could be of any age and gender and who may not really have any gaming experience.

Nintendo have announced on their financial page site that they mean to launch products that will not only surprise but will prove to be meaningful additions for public consumption.

This diversification is mainly aimed at to get more sales for their Nintendo 3DS which has not had many sales so far. If the casual games along with their Nintendo DS accessories are well made then they will succeed in bringing about larger sales figures for the 3DS and newer people into buying the 3DS. This tactic proved to be very successful with the sale of the Wii and is likely to garner third party support too and more games on the anvil.

Nintendo Blames Lack Of Hit Games For Sales Plunge

admin — Fri, 04 Nov 2011 18:36:04 +0000

October 28, 2011: Nintendo’s poor showing of sales has been in the news for quite a while but the official report that the sales are down by a whopping 40.6% in the Half Yearly results has really hit the company hard. Nintendo puts the blame on the fact that they have not really had any great hit games for a while now. The effect rippled down to sales in Wii and DS hardware that was sold. Since they had no hit titles, they had to reduce the hardware too for the Wii and DS all over the world.

Nintendo has been making some really fine Wii and Nintendo DS accessories but these were not taken into account here, as the sales in hardware also saw a downturn in the sales of the Nintendo 3DS. Until the reduction in hardware prices could be factored in, the reduced price of the new 3DS also accounted for the losses. Another reason for the drop in profits seems to be the fact that the Yen was stronger against the US dollar compared to the previous fiscal year at the same time.

It is amazing that the Kyoto based company that brought in a revolution in video games and Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS accessories should see such huge losses.

In the USA, the new Nintendo DS3 launched at the price of $249.99 now sells at $169.9 as customers felt it is pointless buying the handheld as no solid content had been developed for it.
