Level-5 asks if you’d like to see Youkai Watch in the west
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 6 Comments
Care to see Youkai Watch in North America and Europe? Level-5 wants to know.
On Twitter, the official Level-5 International America account wrote:
Between the game and the anime, Yo-kai Watch is a success in Japan! Would you like to see Yo-kai Watch in the US/EU? http://t.co/sFgMsAMLXf

Perhaps with enough interest, we’ll eventually see Youkai Watch – the game, anime, or both – overseas.

Dragon Quest Monsters 2 sells through nearly 80% of initial stock
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Dragon Quest Monsters 2 sold 443,656 copies in its first week on the Japanese market. Media Create says this resulted in a 78.65% sell-through rate.
Despite Dragon Quest Monsters 2’s initial success, it hasn’t quite reached the same heights as the first Dragon Quest Monsters 3DS remake. When Square Enix released the previous DQM title for Nintendo’s portable, it sold 513,183 copies in its first week for a 93.96% sell-through.
Of course, we should maintain some perspective here. At the end of the day, there’s no denying that Dragon Quest Monsters 2 has gotten off to a fast start and Square Enix is likely pleased with its performance.

With the year-long event’s end, Nintendo is closing off the Year of Luigi Miiverse Community and its Developers’ Room to new post and comments. Miyamoto is asking fans to leave a few words for Luigi on his post as a means of bringing closure.
You can find Miyamoto’s message in full below.

Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark is a strategy RPG on 3DS
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
There’s been a lot of talk about Transformers: Rise of the Dark Spark on consoles since the game was revealed at this year’s Toy Fair over the weekend. But what about the 3DS version?
Although we don’t have a ton of information, GamerFitNation reports that the handheld title will be strategy RPG, as opposed to Edge of Reality’s action-oriented title on consoles. WayForward has also been officially confirmed as the 3DS version’s developer.
