Nick Ricks, Producer at TT Games, is getting a
Nintendo 3DS card version of Lego Pirates with the Caribbean: The Video Game. What's interesting is handheld version to the
3DS M3 is often a direct port from the Wii game.
While presenting the portable game, Ricks mentioned the c's used the assets from the Wii version for your
3DS R4 release. Ricks commented which the Nintendo 3DS has roughly precisely the same power for a Wii and said lighting is actually better for the 3DS.
To be a port, Lego Pirates of your Caribbean: The recording Game for Nintendo 3DS contains the same content for the reason that Wii version. Well, with two differences. The sport runs in 60 FPS (fps) and 30 FPS in 3D mode. The come out effect in the stereoscopic screen is utilized to focus on collectables. Lego Pirates on the Caribbean: Flick Game will also support StreetPass with to the fly pirate battles. Think rock-paper-scissors with three varieties of sword strikes (low, mid, and high). StreetPass mode will be the best way to unlock certain characters and alternate costumes for Jack Sparrow around the 3DS version.
Because the 3DS plus the Wii, in accordance with Ricks, may be similar perhaps we'll see other developers release 3D ports of Wii games or vice-versa down the road?
The Japanese launch with the
Nintendo 3DS card happened earlier this weekend on February 26th, and earlier this week Japanese media giant Enterbrain estimated that Nintendo's initial shipment of 400,000 handhelds to retailers across the nation had merely soldout prior to the weekend was through. The online edition of Enterbrain's gaming magazine Famitsu mostly confirms this, pinning the particular
3DS M3 sales figure to 371,326 units during the initial couple of days available on the market.
Enterbrain believes the entire content of Nintendo's initial 400,000 unit shipment included how several major Japanese electronics retailers were able to quickly restock the
3DS R4 in shops, regardless of the initial buzz reporting the handheld had already had sell outs at retail in the end of launch day.
Considering its beefy launch pricing, the 3DS sales figure during opening weekend compared favorably to its predecessors. It took 4 days to the original DS handheld to trade 441,485 units in Japan the government financial aid 2004, while unit sales with the DSi and DSi LL (the latest iterations with the DS handheld) reached 170,779 and 103,524, respectively, after two days.
Meanwhile, Famitsu also confirms the best-selling 3DS launch title was (perhaps unsurprisingly) Professor Layton and the Mask of Miracle with sales of the handsome 117,598 units. Level-5 president Akihiro Hino previously remarked to Nintendo president Satoru Iwata which he would "bet on" the 3DS, but it looks like his bets seem to be repaying this early in to the 3DS life cycle.
A different Facebook group is calling on consumers to boycott
Nintendo 3DS R4 handheld console mainly because it fuels human rights abuses in the Congo.
The
3DS M3 is because of hit The united states on March 27th, but group creator Ben Wiley highlights that portions of it are manufactured from 'conflict minerals' mined by oppressed and infrequently maltreated workers from the Central African country.
Although endeavoring to slow
3DS SuperCard sales is unlikely to be effective (all 400,000 launch units out of stock in Japan when released on Saturday), Wiley says he'd be able to raise understanding of the issue through media coverage (which this post is triggering and OMG I'M Simply a COG In the MACHINE).
With skull-crushing inevitability, the group's page has already turned into Tard Central, with various outraged Nintendo fans denouncing Wiley. Many point out that Nintendo is simply one of a large number of companies with such ethical practices, but I guess targeting an incredibly current device just like the 3DS helps Wiley's word go for it. Which is the whole point.
Being the vile, conscience-free imperialist bastard I will be, I'm probably still picking up a 3DS.
