Japan: One Piece: Unlimited World Red continues to sell on 3DS
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
The new versions of One Piece: Unlimited World Red came out in Japan last week. In case you missed the Media Create charts, here’s a look at how they performed:
One Piece Unlimited World: Red (PS3) – 18,026
One Piece Unlimited World: Red (PSV) – 10,348
One Piece Unlimited World: Red (Wii U) – 4,209
One Piece: Unlimited World Red originally arrived in Japan on 3DS last year and sold 84,000 units in its first week. This version actually saw a small boost according to Media Create, which could be at least partially attributed to the fact that it received the new content as free DLC the same week. In total, One Piece: Unlimited World Red’s sales on 3DS stand at 248,000 units.

Castlevania III: Dracula’s Curse appears to be heading to the North American 3DS eShop on Thursday. Nintendo lists the game on its website for a June 24 release, but the game actually isn’t up. My guess would be that Nintendo intended to list “June 26” instead. We’ll see in a couple of days!

Indie developer Wolfgame has confirmed “Gunpop” for the Wii U eShop.
Unfortunately, not much information has been shared at present. We do know that it’s based in Unity, and based on the title, one would assume that guns will be involved in some fashion.
You can find some of Wolfgame’s previous works here.
Aonuma talks the scale of Zelda Wii U, thinks of Kyoto as his base
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 21 Comments
As part of an interview with Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma, MMGN asked how big of an open world we can expect in the new Wii U game. Aonuma responded by saying that he uses Kyoto as his base.
Check out the conversation between the two below:
MMGN: This is the first truly open world in a Zelda game — you showed how Zelda has progressed since the NES in terms of map layout and movement — so in the biggest world yet, how “big” can we expect?
Mr. Aonuma: In terms of the scale of the new Zelda world on Wii U, I always think of Kyoto as my base.
Do you know Kyoto?
Ummm…a little [laughs]
MMGN also asked how the team plans to reward players for exploring the world of Zelda Wii U. Aonuma’s response was interesting, with him noting that it comes down to gaining “acquired experience” that helps you progress further and better reach your goals.

Tecmo Koei becoming Koei Tecmo in Europe
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 6 Comments
Tecmo Koei is changing its name ever-so-slightly in Europe. Starting on July 1, the company will be known as “Koei Tecmo”.
From July 1st, our company name will be changed from TECMO KOEI EUROPE to KOEI TECMO EUROPE. This means #TKfamily will become #KTfamily.
— TECMO KOEI EUROPE (@tecmokoeieurope) June 24, 2014
It’s unclear if Tecmo Koei will be making the same name change in the US. If that is the case, we’ll update this post.
