Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 10 Comments
Earlier this evening, the NPD Group issued the monthly U.S. chart for game sales in March. The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess and Pokken Tournament both made the list, coming in at the third and seventh positions respectively. But how much did each game sell?
Based on the usual leaks, it looks like Twilight Princess HD sold about 308,000 copies. Pokken Tournament also did quite well with roughly 251,000 units moved.
We have some data on the 3DS side of things as well. Hyrule Warriors Legends is said to have sold about 72,000 copies. Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, which also launched last month, sold 25,000 copies or so.

Rumor: The Pokemon Company courting Hollywood for “big-budget live-action movie”
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, Rumors | 24 Comments
In a new report, Hollywood Reporter writes that a “top-secret auction for film rights to the Pokemon franchise is nearing completion”. Warner Bros. and Sony have both apparently shown interest, but the Chinese-owned Legendary Entertainment appears to be in the lead at present.
Hollywood Reporter goes on to say that The Pokemon Company “has been courting Hollywood to launch a big-budget live-action movie.” Initially, Warner Bros. was an early favorite having distributed the first three Pokemon films. But Hollywood Reporter has heard that Legendary could win out, which could pose an issue given political tensions between Beijing and Tokyo and a situation where China “effectively banned Japanese films for three years, which was only broken recently.”
Level-5 has just released a brand new Yo-kai Watch 3 trailer. You can get the latest look at the game below.
As was recently revealed, Yo-kai Watch 3 ships on July 16 on Japan. It’ll come in two versions: Sushi and Tempura.
