3DS

Capcom has announced that Monster Hunter Tri G has now shipped over one million units in Japan. The game was quick to accomplish this feat.

According to Media Create, Tri G sold over 500,000 units in its first week. There have also been reports that it has achieved a high sell-through rate.

The title is expected to sell strongly through the rest of the year and boost 3DS hardware sales in Japan.

It seems as though Swapnote is on track for a worldwide launch. It’s been confirmed for Europe and Japan for this week, so I assume that it’s also coming to North America on Thursday.


Although Dragon Quest Monsters: Terry’s Wonderland 3D was playable at Jump Festa, I haven’t been able to locate any gameplay videos that were taken at the event. Additionally, Square Enix has yet to share any screenshots or trailers for the game. But hey, here’s the game’s menu!


Not much to say here. Both batteries are rather poor. The 3DS lasted two hours and thirty-five minutes white the PlayStation Vita gave out after three hours and forty-seven minutes.

The OFLC has added new listings for Prince of Persia and Rayman. Prince of Persia was rated for both Wii and 3DS while Rayman was rated only for Nintendo’s handheld.

It’s very possible that these listings are related to upcoming Virtual Console releases. We’ll let you know if Ubisoft says anything official.

It’s now well-known that the clouds and bushes in Super Mario Bros. use the same sprite. The two are only separated by their color – of course, the clouds are white while the bushes are green. Other than that, they’re entirely the same.

It seems as though the “cloud bush” has made a return in Mario Kart 7. As you can see in the image below, the clouds and bushes appear to be the same.

You can see this for yourself in the Piranha Plant Pipeway track.

Thanks to Jake for the tip!
