We can´t deny that they´re doing a fine job with the 3DS. The console is on fire right now. So many games, both 1st and 3rd party, coming to it.
Now they need that for the WiiU. They need to show something besides what we expect and they must keep a good flow of launches for it as they´re doing with the 3DS right now.


Not really all that interested in third party 3DS games. Castlevania sucks apparently, Epic Mickey seems so-so too. There's Monster Hunter I guess and uh ... Bravely Default next year for us in the US.

All I want is Advance Wars 3DS from Nintendo. Make it happen Intelligent Systems!

Momentum has to start from something, one more games come and most notably Animal Crossing and Mario and Luigi, 3DS hardware will be pushed and Pokemon+Zelda combo should be devastating for the holidays. A lot of other games in between should ensure steady hardware, but let's be patient. Good stuff till now!

This has nothing to do with the WiiU though.

It's from the NPD thread, so the 52% figure is US only and 3DS only.

Press release:
"Nintendo 3DS First-Party Software Sales Are Up 52 Percent in 2013"

Luigi's Mansion 2 did really well though.

Positive Nintendo news, therefore won't get many posts and won't be reported anywhere.


Barozi made it unpositive already. Your prediction was wrong.

Less than 20 posts and no mention in the news yet...

Didnt like much SonicTransformed but the other two are top notch as of today, well, more Luigi than Lego city, but the latter is still a great 1st generation WiiU game.

That's because it really isn't that notable. A 52 percent jump in 3DS first party games when the releases were at least twice as many? Am I wrong here?

Except that if it was MINUS 52 per cent instead of plus it would be trumpeted gleeefully from every mountaintop. The gaming media is riding the Nintendo doom train hard.
