This week is harsh for full-size console co-op releases, but we do have a downloadable title and some portable gaming goodness heading our way. The godfather of dungeon crawlers gets some love, and the DOA girls go 3D.
Nintendo's 3DS handheld console launches today in the UK and Australia, while the system will launch in North America on Sunday the 27th. Priced at $250, this marks Nintendo's most expensive handheld to date, but also its most ambitious. The main feature is obviously the glasses free 3D screen for games and video, but there's a lot more packed into the little hand held than meets the eye.
It’s time for Team Ninja to start tackling the handheld market with their much loved Dead or Alive franchise. Dead or Alive: Dimensions puts a 3D mix on the series on the 3DS, complete with a co-op mode. Dead or Alive producer Yosuke Hayashi has stated that Team Ninja has been anticipating a portable title for quite some time - so it should be a good one without just being 3D pretty.
