MCV is reporting that the Wii U managed to sell roughly 40,000 units in its first couple of days on the UK market.

The site’s sources say that the console has essentially sold out, but some first-hand accounts say otherwise. In any event, while stock is still arriving slowly, there won’t be a significant replenish until the New Year.

Regarding software, MCV says that the console is experiencing an attach rate of around 2:1. However, that statistic doesn’t include downloadable sales from the eShop.

Chronoblade, announced earlier this year, is now known as Aeteno Blade. By changing the name, developer Corecell Technology hopes to avoid possible confusion with Square Enix’s games.

Aeteno Blade is a side-scroller featuring seven levels, puzzles, and 3D cut-scenes. Players will be able to perform combos by jumping, using the full moveset, and taking advantage of their sword. The camera will either zoom in or zoom out a bit based on what’s happening on screen.

At the moment, Corecell hopes to wrap up production by January 2013. It will most definitely be a 3DS eShop release and, depending on interest, it could arrive at retail as well.

Numerous UK Wii U owners had made note of the fact that Nintendo Land wasn’t included in their Premium Pack. This was particularly an issue with consumers who purchased the bundle from Amazon.

The retailer has since acknowledged the situation and apologized for the trouble. To make it up to customers, Amazon is sending out replacement download codes.

A message from Amazon UK reads:

“It’s been brought to our attention that a small number of orders for this item may have been delivered without the advertised game, Nintendo Land, due to supplier error. In the event that your order was one of the small number missing the game, please use the following code and instructions below, to download the game.”

Oddly, every single Wii U Premium Pack consumer is receiving a download code – even if Nintendo Land was included in their bundle. That means some users will have a physical copy of the game as well as a digital version.

While the wait continues for a new, official date, Amazon has offered up its own information. According to the retailer, Brain Age: Concentration Training will hit North American store shelves on February 10.
