A new report published today on Famitsu.com indicates that Pokemon Black 2 and White 2 have sold 1,618,621 copies in just two days on the Japanese market. Parent company Enterbrain provided the data.
In addition to becoming the first title to reach one million sales in Japan this year, Black 2 and White 2 are off to the third-best start on the DS.
Even though the aforementioned sales are mightily impressive, the original Pokemon Black/White games performed even better. The two titles moved 2,637,285 units in Japan during the same period.

Dragon Quest X may come with a single registration code
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii | 0 comments
Each copy of Dragon Quest X is rumored to be packaged with a unique registration code. Without this code, it’s impossible to play the game.
This is just retailer speculation at the moment. Square Enix hasn’t officially weighed in on the situation, but if it sticks, this could mean that Dragon Quest X could be excluded from used game sales.
More eShop sales planned for North America

Super Mario Land is just the tip of the iceberg when it comes to sales on the North American eShop. Despite not mentioning this on the latest Nintendo Direct (unless I somehow missed the news), it seems as though additional deals will be hitting the store.
The official US Nintendo site mentions that a deal will be made available “each week”. Come Thursday/Friday, a new title should go on sale.
Sales are also taking place in Europe and Japan, but they’re being handled very differently. Last week, five games were made available at a discount. An additional batch will go on sale later this week.

Treyarch still quiet on Black Ops II for Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments
Even though E3 2012 has come and gone, it’s still unclear if Call of Duty: Black Ops II is in development for Wii U. Its creators have hinted at a version for Nintendo’s upcoming console, but nothing has been confirmed.
Treyarch director of communications John Rafacz remained quiet when asked about the possibility of a Wii U edition recently.
Rafacz did throw out one nugget, though. He said that “any technology that can enhance the Call of Duty experience is worth considering”.
According to Rafacz:
“Right now we’ve announced that the game is coming for 360, PS3 and PC. Announcements regarding any other SKUs just haven’t been made. When you talk about any technology that can enhance the Call of Duty experience, that’s a technology that is worth considering. There’s that core Call of Duty experience and that is what fans expects, so anything that helps advance that is worth considering.”
