Disney Infinity is off to a strong start in the US. According to data provided by the NPD Group, the new game sold 294,000 units in its first month. NPD recorded only two weeks of sales due to the game’s mid-August release date, so that’s not too bad of a figure at all.

Splinter Cell: Blacklist will be seeing some maintenance on Wii U tomorrow. Starting at 7 AM and lasting for four hours, the game’s online services will be affected to tend to the servers.

Once the maintenance is complete, Ubisoft hopes that server problems will be fixed.

Thanks to Ilwrath A for the tip.

Update (9/16): The announcement is… the return of “Gotta Catch ‘Em All” and a corresponding promotion.

Some sort of Pokemon announcement is in the pipeline.

On Twitter a short while ago, the official Pokemon account sent out a message stating that a “surprise” is planned for Monday. This will be a “special announcement,” according to the notice.

The full tweet reads:

We don’t necessarily know that this news is related to Pokemon X/Y, but it’d definitely make sense if it was.

will be reviving the classic SEGA Genesis title James Pond through a Kickstarter campaign this week. Thankfully, both the Wii U and 3DS are included in Gameware’s plans for the project.

Speaking with Nintendo Life, the company’s PJ Belcher said:

We very much believe that Pond belongs on console and the fan base is showing a huge amount of love for the Wii U! The Wii U and 3DS are of course in our project plan, but what platforms we support will be up to the fans. We’re offering a unique opportunity for the backers to vote on which platforms they would most like to see Pond appear on, and they are the ones that we’ll target.

Obviously each platform has its own design considerations beyond a basic port (2nd screen for instance) and we will of course will be looking for ways to make the most of these unique features.

While the Mega Drive / Genesis version of Robocod is possibly the most famous, people have very fond memories of Pond on the SNES — on which it was called Super James Pond — and to see Pond back on that system’s modern equivalent would be awesome!
