While exploring, Luffy sees a woman being harassed by thugs who expect payment for "protecting the island" despite never being requested to do so. Nami tells him to rendezvous at the local inn. The Straw Hats split into groups to resupply, with Luffy going out on his own. Pato, repaying the favor of being "fished up" (and thus rescued) by the Straw Hats by bringing them to an island dubbed by Luffy as "having the scent of great adventures", intends to separate with them on the island to meet someone. Pato, a pen that can become a tanuki, shows the ability to create any object he writes on a leaf by creating a telescope. The scene changes to the Straw Hat Pirates approaching an "Island of Promises", the island village of Transtown, with a companion, Pato. He then realizes that he has misplaced something. Despite what is going on, Red confirms that he's working alone. This occurs while Red is attacking a fleet of Marine battleships, with Aokiji and Smoker seemingly assisting him. He's also called "Red the Aloof" due to his preference to working alone. Garp and Sengoku discussing a pirate named "Red Count" Redfield, a man who was on the same level as Whitebeard and Roger in their primes albeit less notorious, who was released by Blackbeard during his raid on Impel Down 2 years ago. Red stands over the Marines, with "Smoker" and "Aokiji" by his side. The X button is used to dodge, guard and counter enemy attacks, which is new as Unlimited Cruise SP only had the capability to dodge enemy attacks. The SP gauge used for special attacks is now used in a different manner as well. The gauge is empty at first and requires the player to fill it up in order to use special attacks, unlike in Unlimited Cruise SP where the gauge depleted upon use of special attacks. In Unlimited World Red, the Circle button is used for jumping and the Square and Triangle buttons for attacking. In comparison with One Piece Unlimited Cruise SP, the controls have significantly changed. This game is playable with up to 4 players on both the Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita, however only up to 2 players on Wii U and PlayStation 3. Or maybe it'll never come here at all: Nintendo 3DS sales seem to be on a downward trend, and Nintendo is operating on razor-thin profit margins, so perhaps it doesn't want to take the risk that it's going to ship a more complicated product that consumers might not even really want.Įither way, for now we can add the New Nintendo 3DS to the growing list of Nice Things We Can't Have.It follows the same gameplay of previous Unlimited series games such as the butterfly hunting and fishing. Perhaps the launch of this model of 3DS and the faceplates it comes with is a big enough project that Nintendo feels it has to delay it until later. Amiibos, some of which are impossible to find on store shelves here but plentiful in Europe and Japan, are the latest example. Nintendo of America has often spoken about the difficulty of getting shelf space at the major retail chains in the United States, often in relation to its Amiibo figurines.įor whatever reason-whether you want to chalk it up to Nintendo of America drastically underestimating demand for its products, or simply the difficulties of distributing said products across a landmass that is so wide and diverse as the United States-Nintendo simply has issues delivering the same products here as it does in the rest of the world. In the US, such sales data is not public, but we might surmise that the gap would be similar or perhaps even more pronounced here.įinally, launching the New Nintendo 3DS requires also launching faceplates, and lots of them. In Japan, the New 3DS XL has outsold the smaller model by a factor of two to one. But in the US, if Nintendo only wants two models on shelves at once, this is how it's going to do it. The only models on sale here are the $200 3DS XL and the $100 Nintendo 2DS, an inexpensive low-end model with a 2-D display and a single-piece molded-plastic body instead of a clamshell design.ĢDS is not for sale in Japan and likely never will be, so it's not a factor. So why would Nintendo make such a decision? There are a variety of potential reasons.įirst, recall that Nintendo has actually phased out the regular 3DS in the US. While I decided to buy an XL anyway, since I like the huge screens and don't really care about faceplates, other writers like US Gamer's Jeremy Parish were, as of the other day, heartily recommending to readers that they purchase the smaller-sized version. But the New 3DS XL model doesn't have, and that's the swappable faceplates.
