A few days ago, Media Create reported impressive sales for Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire as the two games debuted in Japan. We now have some extra details about their performance.

The launch of Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire led to strong Japanese sales overall, which came in at 1,854,058 units. Thanks to the new Pokemon games, total Japanese software sales had their second best-selling week of 2014 – only behind Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate’s launch week of 1,854,220 units.

Breaking things down a bit more, Alpha Sapphire sold 714,000 copies and Omega Ruby sold 614,000 copies during their first week of availability. The grand total comes in at 1,509,000 copies when counting the Double Pack.

Wii U was a popular item on eBay during Black Friday, according to the New York Times. The site reports that Nintendo’s console “sold out 4,000 units in less than 17 minutes, with customers snapping up four of the devices per second.”

How were Wii U sales as a whole on Black Friday? That’s unclear at this point. Hopefully we’ll receive some data from Nintendo within the next few days!

The Collective, Inc. – in partnership with Warner Bros. Interactive – was once working on Dirty Harry/Dirty Harry Extreme. What we didn’t know is that separate versions were planned for Nintendo systems several years ago.

Unseen64 reports that Sensory Sweep Studios was developing Dirty Harry for Wii, DS, PS2, and PC. While the Wii version was never put into full production, it would have been an “up-port” of the PS2 release with IR pointer aiming and motion control for melee attacks. The DS version was intended to be built from the ground up.
