Nintendo has released a new trailer for Kid Icarus: Uprising. Just when you thought this game couldn’t get any more cheesy, a tentacled enemy known as the “space kraken” makes an appearance. After defeating said enemy, Pit exclaims, “Calamari!” Palutena then says, “What a sucker.” Yeah the dialogue is pretty dumb, but at least they are committing to horrible dialogue.
The demo for Resident Evil: Revelations has been released on the 3DS eShop by Capcom. Japanese gamers have been able to play the demo since the end of December, but Nintendo of America and Nintendo of Europe have just now made the demo available on their stores. Revelations is first demo put on the eShop outside of Japan, and Nintendo of America has informed us that a demo for Rayman Origins will be added to the eShop next week as well. If you own a 3DS and have access to a WiFi internet connection, open up the eShop, download the demo, and enjoy!
As more and more people start to play around with their PSV’s, we are starting to learn more about the handheld. A feature we didn’t fully know about is the ability to take in-game screenshots in seemingly any game for the Vita. These screenshots are saved in JPG format and are in native resolution, bringing us some beautiful screenshots. The screenshot above was obtained from this feature and was posted on NeoGAF.
Although it will be a couple months until the rest of the world sees Sony’s newest handheld, the Japanese have already got their hands on Vita systems. This is an exciting time as now both Sony and Nintendo have gotten their systems out and we will begin to get a lot of great games on both systems. Once Vita launches in all territories, we’ll be able to see what the market for dedicated handheld gaming devices looks like a little better, and we’ll be able to see which analysts were right.
Did anybody import a Vita? If not, how much harder is the wait for the Vita now that you know the Japanese are playing it?
If you think the Monster Hunter craze in Japan is even close to stopping, think again. Monster Hunter 3G has sold 471,000 units in two days. 3DS hardware sales also reflect the huge spike in software sales. Famitsu is reporting that the 3DS has sold 370K units which makes it the biggest week since launch.
The power of Monster Hunter in Japan is simply amazing, and it is surely making both Capcom and Nintendo smile. It will be interesting to see how the sales of the 3DS and the game continue as the Vita’s launch is just around the corner.
