Ocarina of Time 3D just got sweeter just this past week. A Nintendo representative let slip at GDC 2011 that the Master Quest will be included in the same cartridge. It’s a great chance to play both games re-mastered in 3D (pun intended) and its definitely one of the better Zelda remakes.
Super Mario 3DS was unveiled yesterday at GDC 2011. It’s a welcome reinvention of the series on the new Nintendo 3DS platform. If the tail on the logo foreshadows anything, the Tanooki suit may make an appearance in the game, and if not, it still pays homage to Super Mario 3.
Japan has fully sold out their 400,000 units of 3DS within a short period of time on launch day. Nintendo has planned to ship 4 million units worldwide by the end of the fiscal year on March 31. Out of the 4 million, 1.5 million are slated for Japan. With what is happening in Japan, long lineup in North America and Europe on launch day are expected.
The PSP-3000 model is getting a price drop this Sunday to $129.99 to clear up stock to make room for the NGP and also to combat the imminent launch of the 3DS in Japan in a few days and in about a month in North America and Europe. I think this is a good move on Sony’s part since the PSP has done relatively well, but not what you would call stellar when comparing to the lifetime sales of its direct competitor, the DS. There will be a price drop on some games that have been labeled as Favourites or Greatest hits, priced at $9.99 and $19.99 respectively.
Cave Story is heading to the 3DS with 3D upgrades making this a slightly different experience to a neat little game that originally started as a freeware game on the PC. I’m hoping that even with the 3D enhancements, Cave Story 3D will be able to keep its retro 2D charm and still be an awesome game. It will be available for the 3DS in the Summer of 2011
