The March 2015 NPD results were reported on Thursday. Nintendo neglected to share hardware sales, but we do have a couple of very close estimates. The family of 3DS systems sold roughly 260,000 – 270,000 units while Wii U moved about 80,000 – 85,000 units.

Aside from hardware sales, we have data for two 3DS titles that debuted in North America last month. Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. sold just 31,000 units, based on a figure provided by reliable NPD leaker “creamsugar”. Fossil Fighters: Frontier also launched last month and managed to sell roughly 35,000 copies.

That’s not all on the NPD front, as cremsugar shared a few lifetime U.S. sales figures for Wii U titles as well. Those are as follows:

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker – roughly 326,000 units
ZombiU – roughly 204,000 units
Bayonetta 2 – roughly 157,000 units
The Wonderful 101 – roughly 104,000 units

Lu Yang, a principal test engineer at Nintendo, has listed “next generation (unannounced) consoles” on his LinkedIn profile. For what it’s worth, Yang previously worked at Microsoft and spent a few years as a software development engineer for Windows Phones.

Here’s the full blurb:

Nintendo
February 2014 – Present (1 year 3 months)Redmond
Platform Tools for current (Wii U) and next generation (unannounced) consoles.

Obviously we know that NX is on the way, so perhaps what’s listed on Yang’s profile isn’t too surprising. We’ll be hearing more about that system next year!

Fans are continuing to comb through the files in Super Smash Bros. for 3DS following the arrival of the latest patch. Interestingly enough, the discoveries don’t stop at the potential addition of Ryu and Roy to the roster.

After looking through the fighter table, it’s revealed that there are five generic “Mario” placeholders. These should be spots that will eventually be taken by other characters. One might be for Lucas and two more could be for Ryu and Roy, but it’s unclear who would take the final two slots. If nothing else, this finding may suggest that Nintendo may have plans for at least five DLC characters.

But that isn’t all! A change in the stage table reveals that the number of additional slots has been increased from 4 to 14. Given that each stage has an omega version, there’s a possibility that we could see up to 7 new stages. One of these could be a Kirby stage due to a pair of new songs found within the files – specifically “MoriStage” (Forest Stage song from Kirby’s Air Ride) and “PupuLand” (N64 remix of Dream Land from Kirby Super Star).

These findings are very, very interesting, but it’s important to remember that Nintendo has not made any announcements about upcoming DLC for Smash Bros. aside from Lucas. Even though what’s been uncovered thus far has been legitimate, we don’t truly know what the company has in store for the games.

SEGA announced a few new 3D Classics earlier this week. 3D Streets of Rage 2 is the first out of the bunch and is coming in July. 3D Gunstar Heroes and 3D Sonic The Hedgehog 2 are launching in August and September respectively.

SEGA hasn’t provided much information about 3D Gunstar Heroes and 3D Sonic The Hedgehog 2, but we do have a couple of details about 3D Streets of Rage 2. Famitsu reports that the game will support simultaneous two-player multiplayer via local play, though both users will need a copy. Also included are new systems like a mode called “Quartet” which allows you to use all four characters in sequence when playing alone.

Japan is getting 3D Streets of Rage 2 very soon. It’s slated for April 28, and will carry an 800 yen price point.

View some 3D Streets of Rage 2 screenshots below.
