3DS

An interesting stat from Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate’s debut sales in the UK: 45% of sales were generated from the Wii U version while 55% were collected from the 3DS release. Combined, Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate reached the 7th spot on the latest UK charts. Not bad at all, given that some view the series as niche and more Japanese-centric.

ABC has published a series of interviews with Shigeru Miyamoto, but this may be one of the most interesting discussions we’ve seen over the past few weeks. Miyamoto talked about Ghostbusters (he’s a fan, but it didn’t lead to Luigi’s Mansion), how Nintendo decides between putting a game on the 3DS (3D) or Wii U (HD), his secret Facebook page, and the possibility of a theme-park (it could happen one day, maybe).

As always, you can find all of Miyamoto’s responses below.


Shigeru Miyamoto has stopped by the StreetPass Mii Plaza for a visit, complete with a Luigi hat. He’ll give you a puzzle piece and will help out in Find Mii.

This week’s Famitsu will be jam-packed with all sorts of 3DS content.

First up, the magazine will have a first look at Devil Survivor 2. Exchanges on Twitter also hint at a new Etrian Odyssey announcement, which would likely be the next entry in the series for 3DS.

Famitsu tends to leak out on Tuesday nights. Be on the lookout for first information tomorrow.
