Attack on Titan: The Last Wings of Mankind has already sold through its first shipment
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
Attack on Titan: The Last Wings of Mankind sold 94,775 copies in its first week, based on data tracked by Dengeki.
Those strong sales resulted in a 75% sell-through rate (give or take). It also means Spike Chunsoft probably shipped around 130,000 copies of Attack on Titan.
Media Create’s latest data puts Attack on Titan: The Last Wings of Mankind at 42,311 copies sold in its second week. As such, it has probably sold through its entire first shipment.
For a title that didn’t have a lengthy development period and a somewhat meager budget, Spike Chunsoft should be pleased with Attack on Titan’s performance thus far.
Ubisoft willing to delay an Assassin’s Creed game if it’s not of the highest quality
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments
Yearly Assassin’s Creed releases have been a regular thing now. That doesn’t mean Ubisoft would stick to the schedule if it’d mean sacrificing quality, however.
Ubisoft’s North American president Laurent Detoc told IGN that the publisher would hold back an Assassin’s Creed game if it doesn’t meet its expectations. Bringing out a “70 percent Assassin’s Creed game” would hurt the IP’s brand, Detoc said.

Harvest Moon: Connect to a New Land screenshots, details – small Mario collaboration
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Harvest Moon: Connect to a New Land has a neat little collaboration with the Mario series. In the game, players can grow Red Mushrooms, Fire Flowers, and Stars in their fields. However, “special conditions” will need to be met in order to make this happen.
