Burnout Paradise Cops And Robbers Pack Dated

Developer Criterion Games today stamped a April 30 release date on its “Cops And Robbers” DLC pack for PS3 and Xbox 360 title Burnout Paradise.

Featured is an all-new Freeburn mode in which players assume the role of the law, chasing nefarious bandits across Paradise City. A slew of cars in the game will receive an extensive cosmetic makeover, giving them the appearance of concept police vehicles complete with a recognizable international flair.

Pricing for the pack has yet to be announced, but you’ll know soon enough. Best to start saving that money in the meantime.

DSi First Week Sales Total 435,000 In U.S.

In a press release gloating over its March NPD numbers, Nintendo of America revealed that the recently-launched DSi has went on to sell 435,000 units in its first week of introduction.

Impressive. To make this feat even more remarkable is that according to Nintendo, the DS Lite sold 226,300 units during the week following its launch. Yes, that means the DSi somehow nearly doubled that. Either there’s a whole lot of people out there that have been waiting to spring on a DS, or folks were enticed into upgrading from their current portable setup.

Full release after the break.

Nintendo’s Wii™ home console and the Nintendo DS™ portable video game system comfortably led U.S. sales in March, according to data from the independent NPD Group, which tracks video game sales in the United States. Pokémon™ Platinum Version for Nintendo DS emerged as the No. 2 video game of the month, with nearly 805,000 units sold.

Wii tallied sales of nearly 601,000 in March, while Nintendo DS sold more than half a million, even in advance of the April 5 launch of the new Nintendo DSi™ system. Both Wii and Nintendo DS extended their lead as the best-selling video game systems of this generation.

“Nintendo systems accounted for 58.4 percent of the video game hardware sold in March, more than all other systems combined,” said Cammie Dunaway, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “Consumers continue to be attracted to the wide range of software available and the great value of Nintendo systems.”

Four games published by Nintendo finished in the top 10 best-sellers of March. These include Pokémon Platinum Version at No. 2, Wii Fit™ at No. 3 with more than 541,000 sold, Wii Play™ at No. 8 with more than 281,000 sold and Mario Kart™ Wii at No. 9 with more than 278,000 sold.

Early U.S. sales of the new Nintendo DSi hand-held system are ahead of those for Nintendo DS Lite, according to Nintendo’s internal tracking numbers. In its first week, Nintendo DSi sold 435,000 in the United States. After the same amount of time on the U.S. market after its launch, Nintendo DS Lite had sold 226,300 systems. These numbers demonstrate that the Nintendo DS brand remains strong, and that consumers continue to look for the best new experiences on their portable video game systems.

So far this year, video game industry revenues are on par with 2008, but Nintendo remains a key driver. Without Nintendo products, the industry would be down 14 percent for the year, according to the NPD Group.

Fireteam Bravo 3 Gameplay Montage

Yesterday, Sony made it official that SOCOM: U.S. Navy SEALs Fireteam Bravo 3 is inbound for PSP. Today, we’re given a brief teaser trailer comprised of various gameplay segments. Here’s hoping developer Slant 6 delivers this time around after the mediocre Tactical Strike, which left a tinge of disappointment amongst fans in part due to a frustrating camera system and dilapidated AI.

PSP, PS3 Rock Band Not Interoperable

While potential definitely exists over connectivity between the PSP and PS3, majority of developers are giving it the shaft. This unfortunate trend will reportedly continue with the impending release of Rock Band on PSP.

According to information obtained from a Harmonix representative at a media event during which the title was shown off to press, 1UP learned that there is no interaction whatsoever between the PSP and PS3 versions of Rock Band. That means songs bought on either the PS3 or PSP side will not be transferable and across platforms, even though it is technically feasible.

It’s a bit of a downer, but at the same time not totally unexpected, either.
