Nintendo has issued a response to the latest NPD sales report. There’s even more good news regarding Fire Emblem Fates’ performance in the U.S. last month as well as the classic Pokemon re-releases on the eShop.

First, Nintendo says that Fire Emblem Fates sold nearly 400,000 copies when combining physical and digital versions. “This far outpaces 2013’s Fire Emblem Awakening game, the series’ previous record-holder in the United States,” according to the company.

In other news, Pokemon Red, Blue, and Yellow on the 3DS eShop broke the first-week sales record. Super Smash Bros. for 3DS previously held this achievement.

As part of last week’s Nintendo Direct, it was announced that the 3DS Virtual Console is now seeing the addition of SNES games. However, only those with a New 3DS can partake in the fun. Downloading SNES titles on older models of the system simply isn’t possible.

A Nintendo representative told Game Informer the following about having SNES games only on New 3DS:

“As previously announced, New Nintendo 3DS has an improved CPU, which enables Super NES games to run on the system with quality results. The Super NES games also include Perfect-Pixel mode, which allows players to see their games in their original TV resolution and aspect resolution.”

Nintendo’s statement indicates that the CPU behind the New 3DS is what allows for SNES Virtual Console games to be possible.

Abylight already has its next 3DS eShop title in the pipeline following Musicverse: Electronic Keyboard. The studio is bringing back AfterZoom, a 2011 DSiWare game featuring a mix of real-world biology and fantasy elements.

Here’s the announcement from Abylight:

“Here in Abylight Studios we want to turn 2016 into one of the best years since the creation of the team, and not only because of our released games, but also for the beautiful collaborations we are working on. After the ‘Musicverse: Electronic Keyboard’ success on the Nintendo eShop, and almost with no time for us to recover from the celebration, we want to share more good news!

Because of the interest and love that you showed us about bringing ‘AfterZoom’ to Nintendo 3DS™, it is finally heading to the portable console. However, as you may imagine already, we can’t reveal further details, but we hope to start releasing more information in the coming weeks.

Prepare your Nintendo 3DS™ system because we will turn it into a lab from another planet! On this new installment of the franchise, ‘AfterZoom’ unveils the origins of such a weird microorganism collection, which consists of more than 150 species. These organisms are feisty and there will be lots of training to calm them down…”

Abylight has yet to say when AfterZoom will be made available on the eShop.
