Puzzle & Dragons Z is off to a monstrous start in Japan. In its first week, the game sold well over 500,000 copies.
Puzzle & Dragons Z may have moved even more had GungHo Online Entertainment shipped additional product. Analyst David Gibson says that the title sold through 78% percent of its debut shipment – a very high figure.

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze makes the GamePad go dark while playing on TV
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 10 Comments
Like many Wii U games, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze supports off-TV play. But if you happen to be playing regularly – on TV that is – the controller will go dark. Retro implemented the functionality in order to “save battery.”
While we’re on the topic of controllers, Tropical Freeze will support a whole bunch of them. You can use the GamePad, Pro Controller, Wiimote and nunchuck combo, or Wiimote by itself (sideways).

VGX producers are extremely happy with the success of this year’s show, and are already planning for next year
Posted on 11 years ago by Austin(@NE_Austin) in General Gaming, News | 10 Comments
Despite the vitriol online, this year’s VGX Awards appear to have been a big success on a technical level, with the show bringing more viewers for more time than they had every thought possible. Viacom’s Erik Flannigan said that the show “exceeded” their expectations, and that the average view time (32 minutes) was “way beyond our wildest dreams”.
Producer Casey Patterson chimed in, saying that they’re already talking about next year’s show:
“Yes, we would love to do this show again and those are the discussions we are having right now, and we’ll produce that show, that stream in the same way we produced this year’s which is to take the feedback of the gamers, good and bad.”
“The only thing we can do is assure gamers that we are listening. They can tell from the show we built this year that we like them talking to us. Good, bad, ugly, we want to them to continue to talk to us at the decibel that they have been.”
– VGX producer Casey Patterson

NES Remix was made by none other than indieszero. That’s the same company behind the Theatrhythm Final Fantasy and first two Game Center CX games.
indieszero has had a close relationship with Nintendo in the past. The two collaborated on titles such as Electroplankton, America’s Test Kitchen: Let’s Get Cooking, and most recently, Nintendo 3DS Guide: Louvre.
