He said Rol used that term about me. I just want to see Rol's post

Edit: Or maybe not about me lol

No, no, no that wasn't what I meant, sorry. I was just remembering that 'Wiki-term' spurge was referencing. Rol has nothing to with this beyond coming up with the word itself .

Holy smokes!

20 bucks for the dlc :O and their selling it separately?

Did they mention any changes/additions to the game?

82 new levels I think. It's basically a new Super Mario Bros. game.

We will see what we will see. I am just going off what I am seeing at retail. Games sold out and 3DS systems doing much better.

No offence, but I doubt anyone really cares what you're seeing at the 1 or 2 retailers you visit locally.

This is a sales site, we rely on actual hard data, not ancedontal fairy tales.


No offense, but no one on this planet uses Vgchartz numbers. There are 150 active members on at any given time, Neogaf does not even allow you to post the name Vgchartz in their formums. So the 5-10 retailers I have been to as of late is just as good numbers as any.

no offense.

Then use NPD numbers.

Either way, you're wrong. Period.

The "3DS is blowing up in North America!" is a fictional fantasy that's being pushed by 2 or 3 posters on this board and has zero basis in actual sales data.

How about DKCR 3D? When was that coming? End of this month?

It's out in just over a week. Already some reviews up: http://www.metacritic.com/game/3ds/donkey-kong-country-returns-3d/critic-reviews


Not too shabby. It is for the 3DS though, so this is expected. Just another game to keep the momentum going. right Pezy old boy?

There is a negative momentum in NA currently, so I guess...not

Are you saying that more people in NA are returning their 3DS to cancel the original sale than new people buying it? How else could you achieve negative momentum?

I've always thought of "momentum" of a gaming device as sales rate accelerating, so now that sales rate is decelerating I would say the momentum is negative, indeed.

I see, you don't know what momentum means. Fair enough, what you want to say is: "3DS is losing momentum in NA"

I just "met" the gentleman a few days ago on here when we became friends.

It's true! Big time Sonic fan here. Sonic & Knuckles and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 are two of my favorite games of all time. I grew up a Genesis kid, and along with the games I was enamored with the toys, television shows, and everything else Sonic related (still am... I'm rocking a Sonic the Hedgehog shirt as we speak ). I even started the Sonic Support Squad when I first arrived here on VGChartz (if you remember any of those other "character fan groups" on here, I started it with the Squad).

Sonic was my first gaming love, and Knuckles is the best video game character ever!

NPD numbers are from last month. I am saying it will be much bigger this month. Why argue about it? We will see how wrong I am. I have been wrong before. Like when I said the wii would be at 100 million by January 1st of this year.


What exactly are you even predicting? That 3DS sales will monstrously explode in May for no reason?

I think we all know all hardware (Vita included) will see a uniform rise from April to May, but that's really no big deal.

That doesn't quantify as "momenteum".

The 3DS hasn't put up impressive numbers from Jan-April despite a strong lineup of releases this year in North America. Even it's holiday numbers last year were kinda soft (down year over year yet again).



Here's the Pikmin 3 footage if anyone's interested

You can get the stand alone boxed version for $30. There is new multiplayer character named nabbit. The levels are shorter or just faster with 99 second timer. This is more like an expansion pack and similiar to Rockstar DLC's. 



So, is this only 28 minutes? Wanted to watch live, but I was busy this morning. Will go through thread and post late reactions.
