RPG Maker Fes Player has reached a new milestone in Japan. Today, it was announced that the game-player has exceeded 300,0000 downloads on the Japanese 3DS eShop. Moreover, 1.5 million games have been downloaded. DLC will be discounted to promote the new milestone.

Inti Creates just wrapped up another live stream, and debuted the first English gameplay from Blaster Master Zero. We have the recording below.

The new Azure Striker Gunvolt anime OVA isn’t just coming to Japan next week. Inti Creates followed up on today’s earlier announcement, confirming that it’s due out worldwide on the eShop on February 9. The video will cost $2.99 / £2.49 / €2.79 / AU$3.65.

Here’s the latest trailer in HD and with English / Japanese voices (you’ll be able to switch between the two):

This information comes from Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima…

This slide compares sell-through for Wii U hardware and first-party packaged software in Japan, the U.S. and Europe from April 2016 through the last week of the calendar year, compared with the same period over the past two years. We significantly decreased the shipping volume for Wii U this fiscal year compared to the fiscal year ended March 2016 and set our sales expectations at 800,000 units. As a result, hardware sell-through is down significantly compared to the previous two years. Also, there were fewer new titles this year, resulting in reduced trends in software sell-through compared to previous periods, but both the hardware and software results are largely in alignment with our expectations.

This figure shows the sell-in for amiibo figures compared to the previous period. In the previous period, we sold many amiibo, particularly in the Super Smash Brothers series, reaching total sell-in of approximately 20.5 million units. Sell-in for this period was approximately 6.5 million units.
