Anyone know who Andrew Lloyd Webber is? Hopefully! He’s been involved with many famous musicals, including Cats, Starlight, Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat, and my personal favorite, The Phantom of the Opera.

Head past the break for details on Webber’s new Wii game.



A new, limited edition Kid Icarus: Uprising AR card is available in Japan. Nintendo is distributing the special card (pictured above) between July 31 and August 31.

The image takes inspiration from the Kid Icarus float that was a part of the Tachi Neputa Festival last year.

Fans can pick up the card at Panasonic Center’s Nintendo GameFront area in Tokyo.

So the 3DS XL is doing pretty well in Japan thus far. How about in the UK?

While not confirmed, a report suggests that the system “shifted a figure a little shy of five figures” – that would be under 10,000 units. This may not seem too impressive, but keep in mind that the estimate is based on sales tracked over a 24 hour period, not a full week. It did manage to outsell the first 3DS by a factor of just over 2:1. When the 3DS originally launched, it was on the market for a full week.

The 3DS XL’s debut may have contributed to a rise in software sales. Mario Kart 7’s sales increased by 45 percent, Super Mario 3D Land climbed up 37 percent, and Mario & Sonic at the London 2012 Olympic Games rose 25 percent.
