HMV reveals new, twin-stick 3DS XL!

MCV Staff 17th July 2012 Business News

DISCLAIMER: HMV hasn’t revealed a new twin-stick 3DS XL.

Although shoppers on one UK High Street today may well be thinking otherwise after what appears to be a marketing error from the entertainment giant.

As spotted by a Nintendo Gamer reader, POS for at least one HMV outlets is carrying an image of the 3DS XL that mistakenly features a second analogue pad.

The site reports that it’s actually a fan-made mock-up intending to show how Nintendo could have chosen to design the new machine.

The site believes that the marketing material was designed specifically for that store by staff and has not been used nationwide.

[Industry news] Core Keeper’s ancient Core becomes a one of a kind gaming PC, to be won for charity

More than 4 million people have played Core Keeper, and every one of them started the same way, waking in a dark cavern beside an ancient Core that has lain dormant for aeons. Pugstorm and Fireshine Games, the game's developer and publisher, have now worked with Scan to build that Core into a real gaming PC. It is one of a kind, and it is the prize in the Global Games Draw, a new prize draw for Into Games, a UK charity that helps young people from working class backgrounds into careers in games. Every entry raises money for that work.
