Wacky peripherals are nothing new to Nintendo titles but this latest title from SEGA is a little extra eccentric. Poochi the Robotic Dog has you interacting with a robotic toy via a 3DS game / app, which can send barks that are translated into Japanese, play rock-paper-scissors and show you how it is feeling by the color on its face. Additionally, it has the ability to sing, has a number of sensors on its back, nose and tail and is currently to be priced at around $58.

Famitsu are reporting that Level-5’s smash hit Youkai Watch 2 has already shipped 2 million copies in Japan in it’s opening 3 weeks, with the number of sold copies  not too far behind that number. The game is currently a Japanese exclusive which makes these numbers even more impressive and poses the question of whether or not these sales are enough to incentivise Level-5 to invest in a Western localisation.

…It goes BOOOOOM! Not only will the blast destroy targets, but it’ll also cause a chain reaction by using shattered walls and bomb blocks–all of which contributes to you getting a high score!! This is a new activity that combines the concepts of Target Smash and the Home-run Contest–it’s called Target Blast! Your final score is the total you rack up over two rounds. Of course, your Target Blast scores contribute to your Global Smash Power, too.

A look at another 3DS today and Sakurai gives us a friendly reminder of just how close the game is:
