Bravely Default: Flying Fairy sold very well in its first week on the Japanese market. According to Media Create, it moved 141,529 copies. It may have sold even more had Square Enix shipped additional product.

Media Create’s data lists a 85.68% sell-through rate for Bravely Default. That likely led to some sellouts at retailers.

To compare, Project X Zone – another 3DS title making its debut last week – was a bit of a disappointment. It did sell 85,539 copies, but only sold through 57.55% of stock. Making matters worse, 70% of those first week sales can be attributed to pre-orders.

Given the success of Activision’s Skylanders franchise, it isn’t surprising to hear that a third entry in the series is most likely on the way.

Skylanders Giants features a post-credits scene that essentially confirms another sequel. If you’d like to read up on the details from the scene, head past the break. Beware of spoilers!

If you had any sort of doubt that Pikmin 3 wouldn’t be releasing during the Wii U launch window in North America, that should dissipate once you finish reading this post.

Basically, Nintendo published a tiny blurb in the latest Iwata Asks discussion that said that Pikmin 3 would be released in Spring 2013. That set off a firestorm of concern that the game could be missing the launch window.

The notice has since been updated and now reads:

“Pikmin 3 is scheduled for release for the Wii U console in the spring of 2013 in Japan, and during the Wii U launch window, from system release thru 3/31/2013 in the US. (Editor’s note 10/19/2012: We originally published the article citing only the expected release timing in Japan. We apologize for any confusion this may have caused.)”

Straight Right is working on a AAA port of a multiplatform Square Enix game for Wii U. We still don’t know which title this is, but you can cross one off the list.

Crystal Dynamics’ Meagan Marie confirmed that there still aren’t any plans for a Wii U version of Tomb Raider.

She said:

“Tomb Raider is in development for the Xbox 360, PlayStation 3, and PC. No Wii U at this time!”

And thus the guessing game continues. Hitman: Absolution? Sleeping Dogs?

Anyone have their own guess?

If there is a new Mass Effect game (it’s really a matter of when, right?), it won’t star Commander Sheppard at all. BioWare would look to take the franchise in a different direction with a brand new hero.

BioWare Montreal producer Fabrice Condominas explained:

“There is one thing we are absolutely sure of – there will be no more Shepard, and the trilogy is over. This is really our starting point. Now the Mass Effect universe is vast, and very, very rich. So at this point in time, we don’t even know what kind of time frame we’re going to be in. All we’re doing is more gathering ideas from the teams, gathering feedback to see several things. So first, we don’t want to make ‘Shepard 2?, or Mass Effect 4 with like, ‘oh there’s no more Shepard but you’re a soldier in the universe’. So this will be a very, very different context for sure, and nothing has been decided on the rest.”
