Star Fox Zero / Star Fox Guard sold through 30% of its initial shipment in Japan
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 68 Comments
Star Fox Zero came out in Japan last week. During its first few days on the market (April 21 – April 24), the game sold 17,114 units with the Star Fox Guard pack. Another 8,135 copies were sold from the standalone release.
Media Create now reports a sell-through rate for the two items. According to its data, they sold through just 30 percent of the initial shipment. Between the debut low sales and sell-through rate, it would be fair to say that Star Fox Zero is off to a slow start in Japan.

SEGA attempted to neogiate with Capcom and Bandai Namco on Wii VC games, also considered 3DS
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Wii Shop Channel | 9 Comments
SEGA was a strong proponent of the Wii Virtual Console back in the day. The company also has quite a number of titles up on the eShop. It sounds like SEGA wanted to work with other companies like Capcom and Bandai Namco on VC titles, but things sadly never came together.
SEGA told Yosuke Okunari in a recent interview:
“During the Wii Virtual Console days, we worked with other developers and were able to port games that were on Megadrive and other Sega systems. Those were all made on our side. However, negotiations with some publishers, like Capcom and Bandai-Namco, didn’t go through. We did consider negotiating again when the 3DS came along, but business-wise, nothing really came together.”
