@Bliquid There's Layton and a bunch of 3rd party titles like Zero Escape, Sylanders, Adventure Time, and Epic Mickey. But yeah, Holiday 2012 is not going to be remembered very fondly for 3DS owners.

Don't worry about the drop in combined DS and 3DS sales. Some DS games were still pretty big back in September 2011. According to VGChartz, Pokemon Black/White and NSMB1 sold at about 50 thousand copies each, and you had new releases like Harvest Moon, Dragon Quest Monsters: Joker 2, Kirby: Mass Attack, and Solatorobo adding to those numbers. In contrast, September 2012 was a dry month for both the DS and 3DS. Seriously, were any new games released for those systems?

If you're still worried, don't be. October sales are going to spike over last year, thanks to a couple of major releases: Pokemon Black/White 2 and the first 3DS Layton anyone?

It looks like the eShop is in for a second Golden Age.

I have class when this starts. -_-

This was a better week than a lot of months have been.

I'm actually surprised. The trailer for this was promising. Oh well... I guess there are no thing as good surprises.

There still should have been a 3DS version, especially with those 3DS appsthey're making alongside the game.

According to VGChartz, this is at about 800,000 worldwide. Admittedly, they have some accuracy problems, but I can imagine this selling a million worldwide easily by the end of the year.

Wut?

I doubt its likely to be much higher. I heard only 5% of sales were digital.

Let the football/soccer nomenclature wars begin!

Probably just confirmations for the Q4 lineup. Still, it'll be nice to see what does and doesn't come out this year.

Based on my knowledge of Mushroom Kingdom currency, 100 coins is a life. Based on the EPA, a human life is worth $6.9 million. So each coin is worth about $69,000. Using my calculator, I can therefore determine that the current value of coins collected in Mario is $2,512,422,351,936,000, or about as much money as the entire world makes combined over the course of 33 or so years.

That ought to buy Apple.

I expect Americans to download a lot more.

DQX is an MMO, these numbers are fine. What really interests me are the 3DS LL's and Mario's legs, plus the 30,000 jump for the Wii,

@Jamouse I'm not with you on this, but only because the original was that good. Days is one of my favorite DS games.

Der fuq?

Good luck James!

The West is still inhospitable to 3DS games I see.

I affectionately call my original model DS "Old Chunky." My brother still plays GBA and DS games on it.

I'm thinking this will sell 3 to 3.5 million in Japan total. Honestly, not releasing a 3DS version with at least added 3D effects and greater resolution is going to kill this game's legs.

Not my thing, but I know people who prefer having jumbo sized handhelds. They must be thrilled.

VVVVVV is my favorite too!

@TheDreamingHawk I'm pretty sure Shantae had proper saves.
