This. They didn't do this because they had free time and felt like screwing around. They did this for a reason.

It's not like it's a looker on 3DS either. It's essentially a choice between "DS version with somewhat higher resolution" versus "DS version with significantly higher resolution that I can play on TV".
We're talking of retro games à la Virtual Console, audience for those is generally limited (especially on a console that launched two months ago). It's not really mindblowing, but it's still good.

Looking at the official website, it looks like Nintendo still hasn't discontinued the OG 3DS (though it's hidden in a corner of the website, and you have to be looking for it to even find it)
https://www.nintendo.co.jp/hardware/3ds/lineup/index.html
Gonna assume it'll be officially discontinued when the N2DSXL is launched, especially since they're both priced in the same range (14 286 Yen for OG 3DS, 14 980 Yen for the N2DSXL).

Okay, only I got that one.
On topic: the Bamco Welcome Price!! range are officially confirmed for 1 June with Ace Combat 3D: Cross Rumble +, Ridge Racer 3D and Tales of the Abyss. Attack on Titan original is coming out that day too.
Expecting another Happy Price Selection from Nintendo for Q3.
Tales of Berseria too!Plus he knows a parasite when he sees one

... But too late now lol.
As far as I can make out it will actually INCREASE in price on the eShop!
Except, you know, the Wii had what I'd call a very successful RE4 port, for example. Hell, IIRC even CoD 3 at launch did well. There was a lot of buzz around that white little thing, and many core gamers were on board, so to speak. And they were hungry for software, as well.
That's why we went nuts when Capcom announced Umbrella Chronicles and the like (a similar thing happened when EA decided to bring the Dead Space franchise to the platform...) instead of a more core oriented title.
I'm *still* 100% convinced many third party publishers left a lot of money on the table.
If you haven't already read it, have a look at THIS for example when they talk about the Wii and a "what would have happened if" scenario.

Any Vita games added to the list? Last batch included World Trigger iirc.

Any word on how late will Media Create be this week? Do we wait a few days or a full week?
From what I've seen, it's only the four.

Yeah, just noted Senpai Gamer's Tweet about it. Cheers!

same question
Same question
I seem to recall people saying it won't happen until early next week, and we'll have 2 updates next week.
I also seem to recall someone saying Dengeki might release numbers this week though.
Someone more knowledgeable on these things can correct me now though!

I was strictly speaking of Japan: in the West, the situation was different, with much bigger investment on PS3 and 360 from major Western third parties but also healthier overall third party sales on Wii, with core oriented games selling as well.

1.6 million of revenue for previously made games? That's pretty decent.
i fully expect pokemon stars to be a twin version rather than straight multiplatform between 3ds/switch so it ends up being a semi-sequel
similar to one of those mystery dungeons that had a different version for gba/ds iirc, or one of those battlenetwork megaman games
eclipse/stars makes sense
only thing i see this from happening this year for the switch and stays 3ds exclusive is if nintendo thinks they have enough software to carry the switch that maintains the momentum but the pattern seems to be them wanting to push as many of their aaa games asap so that they can focus on new ip's and reviving older franchises from next year and beyond
the existence of the 2ds xl also takes away the chance of a switch version
about capcom's 2.75m expectations, maybe they will release a MH4 port instead of MHXXX? that makes more sense and is less prone to franchise saturation
we also have to keep in mind, MHXX only slightly underperformed on the 3ds which has also seen many iterations, this will be the first for the switch, so whichever MH they choose to port will sell relatively well, replicating mh3g success on 3ds isn't impossible and aligns well with their forecast
think pokemon stars, mk8d, minecraft etc etc, the mere existence of those games on switch is enough since switch is the biggest system seller here not the other way around

Question: Why is Forwardworks taking so long to announce an exact release date for Everybody's golf on mobile?
It still has a release period of Spring 2017, either it comes out before the end of May or before the June Solstice.
Their Twitter account is still inactive since its creation in 2016. (Assuming it is their official account.)
And they haven't updated their homepage since December.

The company in trouble i guess? or there have been some delay in the game release? Or the worst the game had been delayed?
Is there no news from Japanese gamer spies? Who knows some can check their office lol.^^
Holidays don't fall on the same days this year. Friday is a public holiday, so I doubt we'll get anything from Media Create on that day.
Famitsu doesn't have a notice on their website (unlike 4Gamer), so we may be getting numbers from them today (and they've been posting articles today, so who knows).
Yeah I suppose you're right, didn't look at it that way!

It's an Everybody's Golf game. The new normal is for it to be delayed at least 2+ years.
I wonder if they've decided to release the mobile app more in proximity of the PS4 game.
No hints of any kind from the blog yet?
I think it definitely did 1m WW in April. 459K in USA for Day 1 (who knows what it sold days 2-3), 70K+ in UK which is the bigger than MK7 and bigger than MK8), figures in France and Germany likely should match that, so a 250K launch in Japan and the RoW sales should see it topping out over 1m.
ZhugeEx said that it was one of a few games that were sold more than one million worldwide in april so errr....
didn't see that, but still, at least it's confirmation it did 1m+ in april, regardless of official PR.
My million comment was intended for Japanese market
Famitsu doesn't make announcement for a 250k debut of course

Really hope we do get those Famitsu numbers today. My withdrawl will be bad if we don't.
Fair enough, guess I'm still salty about the wasted potential of a platform I absolutely loved.
Ciao!
? I mean how can we expect 1M MK8D when the console is at 700K.
That's what he meant to say: there is no way it sold 1 million, so naturally we shouldn't expect an announcement about the game's sales from the outlets.
Ok. Need to practice my reading kungfu.
143% attach rate.
Like how Zelda had a 102% attach rate at launch month of Switch in the US.
Well, it's not like there's any Switch game that could reach 1m FW this year, except maybe Splatoon 2 (but it's too early to say anyway, so useless to speculate on that now. That would be one hell of a jump) or the infamous Pokémon Stars (again, too early to say...... well, getting an announcement would be a good start ).
Speaking of million-sellers, what was the first 3DS game to sell 1m FW? NSMB2, no?
Fake edit: looks like it was Monster Hunter 4, in 2013.

He means First Week = FW.
Speaking of First Week (FW), not first year. But yeah, MK8D should easily sell well over 1m during the first year.

Well shoot. I should have realised thanks.
