Well how many copies did Wave Race: Blue Storm sold?

If it did well I guess there shouldn't be a problem.


Checked some sites of Sales and it didn't reached 100K or so it seems. -_-

Wasn't blue storm, more or less a remake of the n64 game? I bought it for the GCN but I remember not enjoying it nearly as much as I did on the 64.

I'd be happy to play another wave race though, there's tons of potential still.

 

[Peru]

Wasn't a remake, no. Mechanics-wise I thought Blue Storm was jet-skiing perfected, but it lacked in terms of presentation, modes and so on.

Check better.

I hope you didn't check from "that" site.

 

[Takao]

obviously nintendo is going to announce that they've purchased the medarot ip to combat lbx

 

[Sammy Samusu]

Doesn't it already exist on 3DS as a prequel set in greek mythology?

Man, what a sad joke.

RIP Kid Icarus.

 

[Boogybro]

Check better.

I hope you didn't check from "that" site.

Have you got some confirmed numbers, Chris?

No way it sold under 100k.

 

[Winnie the Pimp]

wait so who came up with this second nub nonsense anyway? is there ANY real basis for this speculation or is it just stupid talk?

 

[Dr.Palutena]

- Zone of the Enders 3DZ
- Sonic 3D Adventure
- TimeSplitters 3DS
- Pokemon Grey
- Donkey Kong Country 3D

JP+US>400K.

I expect 1 or 2 new Nintendo's, a New Capcom's and maybe a new Konami's game. The rest is about updates from 3DS (like a option to film and share videos in 3D) and for eshop (like the entrance of NES in virtual console).

I believe the it is very realistic prospection.

I think there'll be more than that. Nintendo knows they have to go all out, especially in Japan, and I expect them to do just that. Three titles won't cut it, not even if one of them is Monster Hunter. Not to mention there's still the issue with the supposed last minute cancelation of several big announcements at E3.

 

[electroplankton]

Last time it happened they had announced 5-6 new titles for a console, Wii for example, so who knows. Surely they have to promote the already-known games-

They really don't have to. The big move was slashing the price. The sales have picked up despite no titles, and then you've got the one-two punch of Mario + Mario Kart before the holiday season.

 

[wsippel]

source please

There were several. It was mentioned in two episodes of Invisible Walls, right before and shortly after E3, for example. And then there were other rumors hinting at the same thing (like this one: Mercury Steam teasing Contra 3DS, Contra E3 teaser trailer -> no announcement).

Contra 3D doesn't mean Contra 3DS. It means Contra jumping from two dimensions (sidescroller) to three dimensions.

I do think Cox is possibly working on a 3DS version of this new Contra.

Sorry, posted the wrong rumor. There was another one which originated at a conference in Spain (where Mercury Steam did a presentation) where the platform was hinted at.

 

[walking fiend]

no leak from 01 source?

If you can read the reports in spanish 3DS was never hinted by Mercury Steam. Some MS developers (not representing Mercury Steam) went to the Global Game Jam and showed a 3D demo of a PC game and that's it.

The news report says "among those attending the event there was a rumor that MS is already working with 3DS"

I can't tell how reliable that rumor is.

Wave Race?

*clambers up Spiegel's back and makes a nest in his/her hair*

Wave Race!

Spoiler

Crazy for want of Wave Race, Nintendo!

 

[Futureman]

Wave Race would be awesome. I absolutely loved the GC version, bought it at launch with Monkey Ball and my purple Cube.

3D jet skiing with the water droplets spraying up on the screen could be cool.

 

[electroplankton]

It'd be awesome surely, but it's not something you can call big, in terms of sales or success; Nintendo has proposed very niche games lately, such as Sin and Punishment 2 anyway.

 

[monome]

Some kids need two nubs to fly.

 

[Captain N]

I am calling it now. Monster Hunter Tri G will come Bundled with a second analog slider.

 

[Fantastical]

I've never heard of this rumor.

 

[Instro]

I've never heard of this rumor.

The jist of it was: Nintendo ended up not having 3rd parties show any WiiU games for various reasons, semi-confirmed by Relic when they said that they were not allowed to show the WiiU version of Darksiders 2 at E3.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

no leak from 01 source?

Why would Ubisoft know about the Japan conference?

 

[Mpl90]

Irony, I think.
So, 3DS with a monstrous 2012?

 

[Fantastical]

That's not about 3DS.

I missed his reply anyways, and it didn't convince me that Nintendo cancelled announcements at the last minute.

 

[Takao]

If MHTG and Medarot 3D is show at this thing, this may just be one of the worst days I've seen in a while. A) because it'll sink a platform I've been interested in for a long time from a company who looks like their making an effort to push things forwards, B) because I'll never get to play Medarot 3D since lord knows it won't be localized and 3DS is region-locked.

So I probably won't be watching this thing due to fears of bitter tears.

 

[lunchwithyuzo]

So, 3DS with a monstrous 2012?

It really is turning out that way. I wonder what's next for "big" announcements?

 

[Freezie KO]

Wave Race isn't at the top of my list for Nintendo franchises, but I'd certainly pick it up if they released it. Seems like the perfect title to play in 2D because if the 3D gives you any crosstalk even for a second, you're liable to smack into a pier.

You seem to be really down today. Was it the DQX announcement that hurt you?

No, that's not what I was talking about. It was said on Invisible Walls that Nintendo had lots of cool E3 announcements to make (there was no platform mentioned) right before the conference, then the week after that, the same guys wondered why the stuff they knew existed wasn't revealed.

 

[Takao]

I don't like Dragon Quest (or even Monster Hunter) but the importance of the rumors about DQX being true makes other things look credible.

Anyways, I guess I'm ready for a September 13 avatar change:

Maybe I'll photoshop a helghast soldier, or like Sackboy for the place where the skull is. Who knows.

While I think vita has a perception issue/market viability issue

If Sony handles it correctly with some realistic expectations I think the vita could do quite well. On one hand it can have portable experiences that the 3ds simply cannot replicate, not only due to controls and graphics but also a superior online experience. And on the other it can be a hopefully cheap way for 3rd parties to make more games using the same hd assets they've already developed for console titles.

Oh please. Vita will be fine. 3DS probably won't even ever get another MH after that due to Sony throwing money at Capcom. Stop being so dramatic.

Said by the man who talked multiple times about 3DS being dropped entirely from the market after Holidays?
Oh wow

LOL BurntPork telling someone not to be dramatic. That's hilarious.

Takao more crazy than BurntPork.

You heard it here first guys!

Maybe they're both the same amount of crazy. Consider that.

Though i've seen burntpork make some good points before

no one

Wait, wait, I wasn't finished.

it went:
