Hmm… notice that there’s a Pikachu 3DS XL featured in the commercial above. Is the special system coming stateside?

Straight Right, the developer behind Mass Effect 3 on Wii U, would like to continue making games for the platform going forward. The studio also has interest in working with Nintendo’s other main system at the moment: the 3DS.

CEO Tom Crago said the following when discussing Straight Right’s future:

“We can’t talk about what we’re working on right now, but we certainly hope to be able to develop more titles for Wii U. On the subject of Nintendo platforms, we’re also really interested in the 3DS. It’d be fun to do something there in the next year or so too.”

We do know that Straight Right is porting a AAA Square Enix game to Wii U, which has long been rumored to be Deus Ex: Human Revolution. I wonder when the project will finally be announced…

Professor Layton and the Azran Legacies launched in Japan a little more than a week ago. How’d it do? Well, while sales did see an improvement over Miracle Mask, the game’s debut is the second-worst in the series.

A look at Professor Layton’s series sales at a glance:

(2007) Professor Layton and the Curious Village – 136,736
(2007) Professor Layton and the Diabolical Box – 293,897
(2008) Professor Layton and the Unwound Future – 347,360
(2009) Professor Layton and the Last Specter – 306,473
(2011) Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask – 119,591
(2013) Professor Layton and the Azran Legacies – 130,686

Azran Legacies is supposedly the last main Professor Layton game. One has to wonder what Level-5 has in store for the IP going forward.
