Kirby: Planet Robobot gets more concept art, talk about the game’s music
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
Nintendo updated the Japanese Kirby: Planet Robobot website once again today with more art. This time, we have a look at various mechanization gimmicks.
The site also contains some talk about the soundtrack. After initially hearing the Haltmann Works Company theme, director Shinya Kumazaki gave an order to composer Hirokazu Ando to “add more weight to make it feel like an evil giant corporation”, so he made a new version. However, it might have felt a bit too “heavy” when it was redone. From there, Ando received feedback to “make it feel more like a more unknown invader” for the final result.

Super Mario Maker adds new Undodog costume and Event Course
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 3 Comments
It’s been quite while since Super Mario Maker received a new costume and Event Course, but Nintendo just added in some new content a little while ago. Players can unlock Undodog after completing the “Walkin’ with Undodog” level.
Here’s an overview of the course:
“Mary O. was too busy to take Undodog for his usual walk today, so he decided to head out all by himself! He didn’t make it far before he came across a strange green pipe. Well, curiosity never hurt a dog, so he jumped right in! Now Undodog finds himself stranded in an unfamiliar land… Can you help him find his way back home?”
Thanks to najDanGer for the tip.

Pokemon Sun/Moon – Japanese split for the two versions, sales for the special New 3DS XL designs, more
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, New Nintendo 3DS, News | 5 Comments
Media Create reported that Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon sold 1.591 million copies in its first three days in Japan. Additional information from the sales tracker reveals that Sun sold 808,000 copies while Moon was at 783,000 units.
If you count the Double Pack which also sold 151,000 units (containing two games in each), the overall total is 1.893 million. That puts Pokemon Sun/Moon at the same scale as X/Y, which sold 1.867 million in first week without the Double Pack. Both also have the relatively same sell-through rate of about 80 percent.
