Bravely Default has optional DLC item to restore SP
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Bravely Default: For the Sequel will offer a… unique DLC item.
Leaks out of this week’s Famitsu indicate that players can perform a “Bravely Second” attack with SP. While SP can apparently be restored in sleep mode, players will also have the option to purchase the “SP Drink” DLC (and maybe restore the gauge more quickly?).
Square Enix, seemingly responding to gamers upset by the news, pointed out on the Bravely Default Twitter account that the SP Drink is mainly intended for those who don’t have a ton of time to play the game. Another tweet mentioned that it’s supposed to be a fun little item, and players won’t be forced to make a purchase.

Nintendo has just launched a brand new online store for the UK. You can check it out for yourself here.
Unlike Nintendo’s North American store, there seems to be quite a bit that can be purchased on the UK equivalent. Consumers can buy consoles and games, pre-order titles, and purchase other related products.

Monster Hunter 4 is selling incredibly well, sold/shipped ratio is nearly 100%
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Based on the weekly Media Create charts, it’s pretty clear that Japanese gamers have been purchasing Monster Hunter 4 at an unbelievable rate. But let’s put the title’s sales in perspective.
According to Enterbrain data, Monster Hunter 4’s sold/shipped ratio clocks in at 99.6 percent. That figure speaks for itself. Keep in mind these results reflect a game already out on the market for a few weeks.
Enterbrain indicates that Monster Hunter 4 sold another 165,000 copies at retail in its latest week. Total packaged sales stand at 2.7 million after 20 days of availability.
Monster Hunter Tri managed to sell 3 million in 19 days. It went on to sell 4.6 million, but keep in mind that it launched in December, a heavy shopping period. Monster Hunter 4 has yet to see the same Christmas/New Year demand.
Understandably, Japanese retailers say Monster Hunter 4 is still sold out. The same is also true of Pokemon X/Y. Enterbrain believes Monster Hunter 4 will benefit from Pokemon’s launch since users will end up buying both.
