Japanese consumers lined up big time for the Pikachu 3DS XL yesterday. At one point, Inside Games recorded over 300 people at 10 AM – with more fans piling in later. It took four hours for everyone to be processed.

These lines were only for pre-orders. The actual system won’t go on sale until August 25. But the strong support isn’t too surprising as the special 3DS XL can only be purchased with a pre-order.

New Super Mario Bros. 2 players have collected over 50 billion coins since launch.

On August 25, the total was at 35 billion. It has since increased 15 billion, pushing the global total to a little over 50 billion.

At this rate, it won’t take long to double that!

Nintendo has a very good relationship with Namco Bandai. You may not hear about their comradery on a regular basis, but Tekken series producer Katsuhiro Harada says that the two “have established a very good working relationship” behind-the-scenes.

That’s one factor behind Nintendo’s choice to team up with Namco Bandai for the next Smash Bros., Harada believes. He also thinks that Namco Bandai’s extensive experience with fighting titles contributed to the decision.

“I think Nintendo chose us just because Smash Brothers is a fighting game. We have over 17 years of continuously developing titles in our franchise [Tekken], I think they felt we were a choice for that. Also, we’ve continually developed a very good relationship with Nintendo. Maybe not necessarily in the public spotlight but kind of behind the scenes. We have established a very good working relationship with them. Not just Nintendo, but as a company, we have a very good relationship with Sakurai-san at Sora as well. I think that we are in very good position to make a great game for the Smash Brothers series.”
