Along with today’s video, we have information about early-buy and first-print incentives. The early-buy incentive is a visual book which covers characters’ detailed settings and Medabots’ design pictures. Its cover is drawn by Izumi Sai, who is also the character designer. The first-print copy incentive is an original theme for 3DS which is based on the version consumers purchase.

January has come and gone. That means it’s time to announce the winner for our January 2016 Patreon giveaway. Congratulations to Jackson S on nabbing the Shovel Knight amiibo!

Those who are pledging $5 or more on our Patreon will be automatically eligible for the giveaway regardless of your region, and no further action is needed. We’ll likely be making the announcement of this month’s winner around March 5-6.

Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash sold fairly well in Japan. Media Create has first week sales at 55,331 units while Dengeki’s figure is slightly higher at 58,000. In any case, that’s probably more than most people were anticipating.

According to Dengeki, Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash sold through about 80 percent of its initial shipment. The title sold favorably compared to the last console release in the series, New Play Control! Mario Power Tennis. That one sold 57,000 copies in its first week, and went on to move 247,000 units in total.
