Video Games, Nintendo 3ds | featured news

Nintendo slashed its full-year profit outlook by 70%, weighed down by weaker-than-expected demand for its 3DS handheld game machine, the strong yen, and manufacturing costs.

Activision and Rovio are working to bring the Angry Birds, Angry Birds Seasons, and Angry Birds Rio trilogy to the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and Nintendo 3DS by December.

The 3DS news just won't stop this week. Miyamoto wants to make a sequel to A Link to the Past, first details for Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 surfaced, Project X Zone was unveiled, the strategy RPG mash-up Pokemon Conquest made the cut for a U.S. release, and more. As if all that weren't enough, we also found out that sneaky ole Nintendo registered a domain for Super Mario 4. Hmm...

Nintendo has sold 4.5 million 3DS units, its latest hand-held device, in the U.S., setting what the company said was potential momentum for its next big product, the Wii U console.

It’s astounding to think that just a few years ago, the Nintendo DS and the PSP were the lone mobile devices that gamers had to choose from. It must have been nice for Sony and Nintendo, to only have each other to compete with.

The 3DS has continued to gain momentum, crossing four million units sold in the U.S. thanks to strong sales of Mario Kart 7 and Super Mario 3D Land.

Nintendo has done its best to launch a new era in video games with the launch of its 3DS portable gaming system, which goes on sale for $249 on Sunday. The appeal of this device, which can display games in stereoscopic 3D without glasses, is growing on me. But I’m not sure it’s the greatest thing since the iPhone.

The eyesight of children under six could be harmed by 3D games played on Nintendo's forthcoming handheld console, the company warns.

Why Nintendo is doing everything right with the 3DS.

Nintendo announced a new 3D handheld gaming system Tuesday, set to succeed the DS when it is released in Japan in the next year. The new system, called the 3DS, was to be fully unveiled at this year's annual video game conference E3 in Los Angeles this coming June. Details were currently slim, but the announcement stated the console would incorporate 3D technology without the need for players to wear special glasses.
