“It is a challenging market, and challenging in a number of ways. From a gameplay immersiveness standpoint, from price point and business model standpoint, I mean it’s $40 for some of those games and you can get great experiences – not necessarily comparable experience, but great nonetheless – for seven dollars on a tablet. Our relationships with Sony and Nintendo are important and we continue to support them by creating games on both [Vita and 3DS] platforms. Beyond that the market’s going to speak ultimately as to the viability of those products.” – Activision’s Vice President of Mobile Development, Greg Canessa

Well, I think the market is speaking fairly strongly on the issue! The 3DS just recently surpassed the lifetime sales of the Gamecube (yes, after just two and a half years being out), it’s halfway to meeting the lifetime sales of the SNES, and two-thirds of the way to meeting the N64’s lifetime sales. On top of that, it’s still outselling the original DS on a week-to-week basis!

Vita isn’t doing so hot, but I think the 3DS’ performance alone speaks to how healthy/unhealthy the portable gaming market is.

Link chopping off heads? I can’t see Nintendo ever allowing for something like that in a Zelda game.

Pokemon 3D is a lot like Gold/Silver. In this fan-made game though, the action is set in 3D and with a first-person perspective.

CyberConnect2 is working on some sort of new Solatorobo game. We’re not sure what it is yet, and studio CEO Hiroshi Matsuyama isn’t willing to reveal any details at present.

At the Solatorobo: Red the Hunter 2nd Anniversary fan event, however, he teased that “a certain project is moving along.” During the event, which took place in Japan on Saturday, he additionally hinted: “I’m sure there will be something good next year.”

Zero Escape: Virtue’s Last Reward scenario writer Koutaro Uchikoshi has been talking about a sequel for awhile now. Even after all of these months, Uchikoshi is still chatting up a storm about a new entry in the series.

Uchikoshi tweeted the following over the past few days:

@suburbanwhitekd Yes. Junpei will appear as a participant in the next game. 🙂

@syberiawinx I also know everybody likes Snake. Dio? I think he will appear in the next too. Although he isn’t the man who you know. 🙂

The only downside? Uchikoshi hinted that it could be awhile before we see a new Zero Escape.

On November 29, Square Enix registered the domain names AllTheBravest.com and AllTheBravest.net. It also filed a European Community Trademark.

Considering “Bravest” is in the name, one would hope that this is related to Bravely Default. But at this point, it almost seems silly to expect anything not known as Final Fantasy or Kingdom Hearts to be localized.

Or maybe this does have something to do with Bravely Default – except it’ll probably end up being that browser game…
