3DS News: March 25, 2014

• Weekly sales are up. On the week ending March 15, 3DS sales surprisingly fell by 8%, to about 111,000 hardware units. I'm surprised because this week, we had a software boost thanks to Yoshi's New Island. That one game sold over 112,000 copies week one in its Western launch, and boosted overall retail software sales by 12% to over 560,000. Otherwise, things remain quiet in the 3DS software sales front, with Pokemon X/Y being the other notable game of the week.
• Nintendo is considering bringing Unity to the 3DS.
• A new LEGO game is coming to handhelds this summer.
• Ghost Recon: Shadow Wars is $15 on the eShop. Get it.
• Sorry about being absent without notice.

Well Yoshi was no good in boosting 3DS sales. I'm getting a little worried about the system, as there's looking to be a drought after Kirby releases until SSB4.

Lots of Mario Golf details

- Can pick from realistic courses or more off-the-wall levels

- Each character has a slightly different playstyle

- This mainly pertains to their power

- Players can choose to putt as a Mii

- Miis can mirror the abilities of Mario characters, depending on their gear

- Can simultaneously take your shots, rather than wait for friends to line up their moves in multiplayer

- While you progress, small icons appear which allow you to measure their ball’s progress against your own

- No voice/text chat options

- Can send emoticons to other players

- Game includes online competitions

- Players can simply set their rules, play a course and submit their score

We definitely need to do some kind of tourney with this game

- Stepping onto the course only requires simple shot selection and timing

- With Auto mode, you only need to choose a direction and use A (or the touch screen) to initiate and time a shot

- Can switch to Manual mode at any point, even between shots

- The initial swing in Manual mode brings in the standard three-button-press to initiate the swing, set power and then determine the accuracy

- As the shot gauge moves on its final route you can apply the final press with the A or B button, setting up four potential combos

- Tap again quickly after the shot is initiated to add topspin, super topspin, backspin or super backspin

- Multiple shot types and club selections

- Can also deliberately manipulate your shot to fade or draw

- Quick Round: series of modes where you can play as various Mushroom Kingdom characters or your customised Mii

- Match Play: take on a computer opponent

- Speed Golf: attempt to rattle through holes as quickly as possible

- Point Play: converts your scores from strokes into points

- Lots of customization in each mode

- Can choose the number of holes from 3, 6, 9 to 18

- Add quirky Mario-style ideas such as a slot machine that limits available clubs and items

- Items are activated as a “special” shot type with various effects

- Bom-ombs prompt your ball to explode high into the air

- Fire flower will allow your ball to burn through trees

- Boomerang can add unlikely swerve

- Tricky challenge holes task you with collecting Star Coins while also making par

- Activities help you accumulate currency

- Use coins to buy clothes, accessories, more clubs

- Enhance your primary stats of Sweet Spot and Control, increase drive distance and play style of your Mii as well

- 8 categories of outfits and accessories

- Play as a Mii: Castle Club is where you buy items and is an area where you run around with your Mii

- Castle Club has tips from characters, rooms to explore, tournaments/challenges

- Start in a building and eventually venture outside to where much of the action is to be found

- Early stages start with a “practice round” on one of three initial courses to set a handicap

- You’ll then enter tournaments and gradually progress to Championship rounds

- 18-hole round takes about 30-45 mins

- Game also includes challenges that cover drives, approach shots and putting at multiple difficulty levels, useful for accumulating coins and perfecting technique

- Mii characters registered on the system gather to celebrate your score after each hole

- Large Nintendo mascots such as Bowser and Donkey Kong raggedly swinging the club with one hand

A Mario Golf tourney? Why not, let's just give it a little time though before making any rash decisions.

Also, nice Realgamingexpert, see you on Saturday!
