Unchained Blades producer Hiroyuki Abe would naturally like to see the game’s sequel in English. But like most localizations, it all comes down to fan interest and sales.

Abe hinted that “the possibility of Exxiv coming over grows quite a bit” if the original game sells well:

“The original game and concept for Unchained Blades was well received. We were eager to create a sequel based on the same concept that people seemed to enjoy. In terms of Exxiv, coming over is something we will still have to evaluate. If American gamers buy a lot of Unchained Blades from Xseed, the possibility of Exxiv coming over grows quite a bit!”

There are a couple of ways to purchase Unchained Blades. You can download the 3DS eShop version which launched today, or buy it from the PlayStation Network.

Warner Bros. Interactive and developer NetherRealm Studios still have some characters to reveal for Injustice: Gods Among Us. A date for an announcement hasn’t been confirmed, but Ed Boon told one fan on Twitter: “We are working on it.”

Injustice: Gods Among Us won’t be out until April, so there’s likely more than one character to reveal before the game ships.

Sterne Agee analyst Arvind Bhatia has offered some insight into sales of the Wii U. Agee noted that GameStop sales this holiday fell below expectations in terms of both hardware and software. Available stock at the retailer is apparently “abundant.”

It should come as no surprise that the Wii U Deluxe Set is outperforming the Basic model. Thanks to the “better value” provided by the Deluxe Set, consumers have been more than willing to shell out the extra $50.

Discussing Wii U software specifically, Bhatia said the attach rate at GameStop is “low”.

Bhatia wrapped up with the following comment:

“Our conclusion is the Nintendo Wii U launch has been slightly disappointing.”
