Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories, Wii, Wii U | 0 comments
Epic Mickey 2: The Power of Two’s US sales have been clarified. Based on information provided by Disney and NPD, the game sold 529,000 units in November and December. We had previously heard that Disney moved just 270,000 copies, though that figure now appears to have been inaccurate.
Sales of Epic Mickey 2 along with Power of Illusion stand at 695,000 units up to the end of December. That should put the 3DS game at around 166,000 units sold in the US.

“DSU” concept imagines hardware to play 3DS games on Wii U
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Random, Wii U | 2 Comments

Nintendo will probably never allow Wii U owners to play 3DS games on their televisions (or GamePads). But that doesn’t mean we can’t imagine the possibility!
Dave Delisle created a “DSU” concept that would permit users to plug a 3DS game into a small box, which is in turn connected to a Wii U. The hardware would beam the the 3DS’ top screen to a TV and the bottom screen to the GamePad. Of course, you’d lose the 3D effect.
This isn’t real. But it’s kind of neat. It may remind you of that lovely Game Boy Player for GameCube!

XSEED on its Wii support, Pandora’s Tower sales expectations, no Retro Game Challenge 2 for the eShop, more
Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Podcast Stories, Wii | 0 comments
XSEED VP Ken Berry opened up on a number of interesting topics in an interview with Digital Trends. Berry discussed its support of Wii, its “deal” with Nintendo for The Last Story, the company’s sales expectations for Pandora’s Tower, and Retro Game Challenge 2 localization.
Sadly, XSEED has no plans to localize the DS title – nor will it consider an eShop release. The first game “was an incredibly expensive project”, but it didn’t sell well at all. As a result, XSEED can’t take a similar risk with Retro Game Challenge 2.
Head past the break to read up on all of Berry’s commentary.
