In November, the NES Classic Edition sold 196,000 units in the United States. The hardware had another strong month in December. According to the NPD, NES Classic Edition sales rose by 14 percent. That puts it at just over 223,000 units sold.
Sales should tail off this month if only due to a lack of availability. Hopefully Nintendo manages to get more stock out in the near future.

Another mystery amiibo CPSIA certificate spotted
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 2 Comments
Update: As HeroOfTime125 points out to us, the filing starts with AACK. AA is used for Smash Bros., so it could be a further hint at a Corrin amiibo.
Original: Last week, three unknown CPSIA certificates popped up in Nintendo’s database. Those may have had something to do with the new Zelda: Breath of the Wild amiibo announced shortly thereafter (Zelda, Bokoblin).
Now another mystery certificate appeared on Nintendo’s website today. With the Fire Emblem Direct happening in a few hours, could this be related to a Fire Emblem amiibo?

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 7 Comments
In its young history, Yacht Club Games has only made one game thus far. The studio has continued to work on Shovel Knight since its release in 2014 with a bunch of brand new content.
Shovel Knight still has some new things to offer this year, but it sounds like Yacht Club Games is starting to think about moving on. In a tweet published on the developer’s page, it states that the team hopes “to start work on a new project in 2017”.
Q:Will you ever make a new game?
A:If you want something new outside of Shovel Knight…we have vowed to start work on a new project in 2017!— Yacht Club Games (@YachtClubGames) January 14, 2017
