Spirit Camera: The Cursed Memoir comes out in North America today. It won’t be out in Europe until June, however.

There is a bright side to this though! Spirit Camera and Project Zero 2: Wii Edition will both be available on the same day.


IGN has obtained various software sales data from Nintendo.

Kid Icarus: Uprising sold 135,000 units in its first month. Mario Party 9 was even more impressive, moving 230,000 copies on Wii.

Super Mario 3D Land tacked on another 100,000 sales while Mario Kart 7 picked up another 118,000 units. Life-to-date figures of these two titles in the U.S. stand at 1.98 million and 1.58 million respectively.

Kid Icarus: Uprising wasn’t in the top 10 NPD software rankings for March. That doesn’t mean the game didn’t sell well, though.

Analyst Anita Frazier said Uprising “would have been among the top selling individual SKUs for the month of March.”

Frazier wrote in the NPD report:

“In a list of the top 10 SKUs for the month (as opposed to top titles as listed here), 3DS Kids Icarus: Uprising would have been among the top selling individual SKUs for the month of March.”

We may get specific Kid Icarus: Uprising sales later today/tomorrow.

Supervillain’s CCO/Co-Founder Chris Rausch has revealed that Order Up will no longer be hitting store shelves. Instead Ignition Entertainment will be publishing the game on the 3DS eShop.

Order Up will first receive a demo on the digital store. Soon after, the full game will be available.

As for why Order Up is now a digital title, Rausch explained:

“[Order Up] is now coming exclusively to the 3DS eShop as a download. The retail scene is brutal unfortunately, so there have been some changes in plan.”

The demo should be available in the near future according to Rausch:

“I think the demo is just ASAP after Nintendo approval, and the game would follow soon after.”

Ignition Entertainment hasn’t announced a final release date for Order Up.

No Link or Samus costume action in this trailer, but there is more hack-and-slash goodness.
