Guys, here's some better pics of Time Travelers on the 3DS. Don't take that Kotaku article to heart, the game has a in-game snapshot feature similar to how the Vita has one. The game looks a lot better than what was shown.

If the link doesn't work, then the Gonintendo link should via QR Code. By the way, the 3D is basic.

^This game already bombed, according to first day sales, managed less than 20% sell through.

My guess is:

20k 3DS
15k Vita

That'll teach Level 5 not to make a Japanese Heavy Rain (qtes...)

I thought this game was supposed to be very good?

And PSV won't do that good. 3DS will do more than 5K better.



Well that is quite the improvement!

I thought PSV had worse or same battery life as 3DS though...

I did a thread once that had a video in it that showed the 3DS winning in the battery life category, but I think it was sort of rigged or something. This one is not. They had everything going supposedly. Good News! Although I have never had a battery problem on my 3DS. Just my cell phone,...everyday.

Sounds like you need to get a new cell-phone.

OT: I think it varies.

From what people said this is a very good article.

Thanks!

It's a very good article that brings out some real questions/problems that many people in the industry seem to deliberately ignore.

This excerpt

'A developer working on next-generation Xbox hardware says that “I’m having to double my budget for models. If we want to take advantage of Durango’s capabilities it takes a lot more time for each model.” This is just the cost for modeling. Imagine the implications for other facets of development.'

And what Warren Spector said are perfect examples of what can happen if things doesn't change.

Thanks for sharing that article Pokemonbrawlvg.
It was a long read but it was very good and more people should read it. This, and the Emily Rogers article.

I can`t imagine developers not learning a a bitter lesson this generation. It seems that with every generation the risk of failure is ever more present and developers haven`t really been able to adapt. Yes, many did good, like Activision and Ubisoft, but at the same, time we have seen hundreds of studios closing and a lot of lay-offs. It seems that, today, if your average studio fails on making a successful it`s game over for them.
Teams have been increasing, marketing money has been increasing, everything has been increasing. The only thing that hasn`t catch up are gaming prices, to a point where even more copies need to be sold to at least break even. And it`s not DLC or digital downloads that are going to solve this because if things keep going the way they are going, even more money is going to be spent on making games, so more copies are needed.
Will the market grow more this generation? No. And not just because of smartphones and tablets (nothing`s stopping those gamers from owning consoles or vice-versa), but also because there were a lot of Wii owners who ended up buying Xbox 360 and PS3`s. So, if Wii U does get a good 3 party support, that situation won`t repeat itself in the same way.



A new Dragon Ball game may be in the works for the 3DS. GAME UK lists “Dragonball 3D” for Nintendo’s handheld.

The retailer offers a very short description of the title. GAME UK states:

“Dragon Ball kicks into 3D with all new features and gameplay designed for the Nintendo 3DS hardware.”

Thus far, Dragon Ball hasn’t made it onto the 3DS. But given how many games made it out on the system’s predecessor, it’s only a matter of time before we see the franchise on the handheld.

Thanks for telling us about it Pokebrawl!

No problem, guys! Articles like these never get enough credit! Always about specs these days...

Konami explains why Castlevania is a 3DS exclusive
During a recent interview, Konami revealed why Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate is exclusive to the Nintendo 3DS. Konami considered a handheld version of Castlevania: Lords of Shadow and, after looking at the available formats, they decided that the Nintendo 3DS was the “most exciting technology” because it was possible to apply 3D effects to their upcoming side-scroller.

Konami explained that the game is called Mirror of Fate because the mirror plays an important part in the game; characters must make choices to determine their fates and the mirror will reveal a character’s “ultimate destiny.” Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate will be released this fall at both retail and the Nintendo eShop.
