DeNA Sets Goal Of 25 Million Per Month Off Of Nintendo Mobile Games

, , , , , , 0

Nintendo’s partnership with DeNA has surprised many, and intrigued many more. Already people are speculating about what kind of Nintendo games we can expect on mobile platforms. The other big question is, how much will these games make once they’re out in the public? The potential is there, as mobile games have been known to make people very wealthy. But goal should DeNA and Nintendo set for their upcoming mobile titles? For DeNA, they’re setting a goal that might seem rather high to some: 25 million dollars per month. Now in case you’re thinking this is a random number, it’s honestly not: “We haven’t talked to Nintendo about targets, but at DeNA, our best-selling game brought in 3 billion yen a month, and we want to surpass that,” DeNA Chief Executive Isao Moriyasu told Reuters So right there we have a baseline to judge these games to go off of. In perspective, give the context, it’s not an unreasonable goal to start out with. Nintendo characters should have the name

Monster Tale Ultimate Announced, Coming To The 3DS

, , , , , 0

Remakes and remastering games are nothing new. In fact, the last year or so has had a plethora of remade or remastered games. Results of which are…mixed at best. Today, another title was announced to join that group of games, however this one may be a remastering all unto itself. Monster Tale Ultimate, a remake of the 2011 Nintendo DS title Monster Tale, has been announced as coming to the 3DS. In case you never heard of this game, you play as a young girl named Ellie, who just so happens to be lost in Monster World. In the game you try and get her home, all the while trying to save Monster Role with her companion Chomp. That’s the big guy in the pic above. So, if this is a remake/remastering…what is getting remade/remastered? According to the developer DreamRift, everything! The visuals are getting redone and made better with new assets, 3D support, gameplay adjustments and fixes, AND the ability to switch between two music forms. You can either

Legend of Zelda Wii U Will NOT Be Coming Out in 2015

Legend of Zelda Wii U Will NOT Be Coming Out in 2015

, , , , , , , , 0

That’s right, you read that correctly. Arguably 2015’s biggest Nintendo title is not coming out this year. In a video you can see below, Legend of Zelda Producer Eiji Aonuma takes center stage and explains why The Legend of Zelda Wii U will not be coming out this year. The primary reason seems to be that the development team have come up with new ideas that’ll make the game even bigger and grander than before. This caused a dilemma, as they were not sure whether to amend the game to include these features/ideas, or just add them to the game fully without cutting out other features. Aonuma decided on the latter option, and will now apparently proceed with Zelda Wii U without fear of deadline to ensure that everything gets put in and smoothed out for the betterment of the title. “So I must apologize to all of you who were expecting the game by year’s end, but we are no longer making a 2015 release our number one priority,”

New 3DS Updates Begin Support of Amiibos For Older 3DS Handhelds

, , , , 0

When Nintendo announced the New Nintendo 3DS XL, one of the big selling points was the inclusion of NFC scanner in the hardware itself to allow Amiibo’s to be used on games like Super Smash Bros. 3DS. Along with other future titles. However, this left many 3DS users (especially ones who can’t afford the newer one as of yet) with a problem, what would they have to do to use Amiibo’s with their older versions of the 3DS? Nintendo has answered that with the form of an adapter that is supposedly coming this Summer. However, a new update for the 3DS is coming that’ll allow users to register their Amiibo’s, and manage the data in them. This could indicate that the adapter for the older 3DS is not only on the way, but it may be coming sooner than many have expected. We’ll have to wait until Nintendo gives confirmation though before going overboard on this. Here is the full breakdown for the newest 3DS update: •Changes to HOME Menu:

Sakurai Confirms Mewtwo is "Coming Soon"

, , , , , , , 0

Masahiro Sakurai, aka the man/myth/legend behind the Super Smash Bros. series has stated that the highly-anticipated DLC featuring fan-favorite character Mewtwo is “pretty much done”. Thus, they’re still on track to release the character this Spring. Mewtwo is the first ever DLC character to arrive in Smash Bros. Ever since his arrival in Melee on the Gamecube fans have loved his gameplay style. Yet curiously, he was left out of Brawl on the Wii. Replaced by popular Pokemon Lucario. The fans wanted him back in the Wii U/3DS version, but he was left off of the main roster. Then, during a special Nintendo Direct, they revealed that Mewtwo was indeed coming back, via a DLC download. To receive the Mewtwo DLC, you can do one of two things. If you already have a copy of Super Smash Bros 3DS AND Wii U, you can register the Club Nintendo numbers on the Club Nintendo site and have the DLC code emailed to you for free. IF YOU WISH TO DO THAT…you

Sega Admits Sonic Boom Did NOT Work, Future of the Series In Question

, , , , , 0

Sonic the Hedgehog has a very curious history. He shot out like a rocket and wowed gamers with his high speed and attitude, which was meant to be an antithesis to Mario. And it worked. Gamers loved his titles. Then…slowly…his games started getting worse. Now, even though he’s got a great comics line, and even a good TV show (according to fans), his games just can’t seem to get good again. The latest attempt to “fix” the Sonic franchise was via Sonic Boom: The Rise of Lyric on the Wii U and 3DS. Sadly, this was game was panned by both critics and gamers. Numerous bugs made the game a joke at best. And other gameplays aspects made gamers furious at what was happening to the favorite blue speedster. Ironically, Sega themselves admit they did wrong with Sonic Boom. In a recent podcast, Sega Producer Stephen Frost spelled out what went wrong with the game. “The biggest mistake in Boom was trying to cram too much into the game,” he

My Top 5 Nintendo Franchises

, , , , , , , , , , , , 0

I am a Nintendo Fanboy. It’s who I am. My first taste of video gaming was a Game Boy. My first console was a SNES. I remember the joy when I got a Pokemon Stadium N64 bundle pack for Christmas, and  the pride I felt when I saved enough money to buy the Nintendo Gamecube, Wii, and Wii U with my own money. Nintendo is ingrained in my life. Being a fanboy for so many years and console generations has allowed me to see how Nintendo has grown in how they make games and the types of games they make. Nintendo more than any other company has a robust list of first party franchises. And if you take a good look at their lineup, you’ll notice that each one pretty much covers a different genre. Platformers (both 2D and 3D), shooters, racing games, fighting games, space games, puzzles titles, RPG’s, the list goes on and on. Yet as I sit here and reflect, a question comes to mind: Which franchises do I look forward to

Nintendo dropped a major bombshell today by announcing a partnership with DeNA, a Japanese mobile gaming company, to help develop games for said devices featuring Nintendo properties. To be clear, they aren’t porting titles to smartphone devices, they’re creating new, original titles. “There are significant differences in the controls, strengths and weaknesses between the controllers for dedicated game systems and the touchscreens of smart devices,” Nintendo President Satoru said during the press briefing. “We have no intention at all to port existing game titles for dedicated game platforms to smart devices because if we cannot provide our consumers with the best possible play experiences, it would just ruin the value of Nintendo’s IP.” The goal for this is to have hit titles for both mobile devices, along with Nintendo’s standard hardware both handheld and console. “For smart devices, even in the case where we utilize the same IP, we will create completely new game software that will perfectly match the play styles of smart devices,” Iwata said. Furthering the bombshell was
