Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon have been setting all sorts of records, including in France. The two games saw the best launch week ever for a Nintendo-published game in the country. Over 425,000 copies were sold.
Pokemon Sun/Moon outperformed both X/Y and Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire. Pokemon X/Y sold 125,000 copies in its first week while the 3DS remakes moved 180,000 units during the same period.

Yacht Club Games talks Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 11 Comments
Last night, Yacht Club Games finally showed a trailer for Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment at The Game Awards. The studio shared a bit more on the expansion in a blog post shortly afterwards.
Perhaps what’s most interesting here is that the team is making Specter of Torment “from the ground up so that it can be a completely unique standalone experience.” It’s a prequel, featuring “new areas, new music, new enemies, new objects, new boss fights, new weapons, new armors, and way, way more than ever before.” It really does sound like its own thing in many ways.
Here’s the full update from Yacht Club:

More on Pokemon Sun/Moon’s second week sales in Japan and how they compare to X/Y
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Media Create reported that Pokemon Sun and Pokemon Moon sold 375,665 copies in Japan between November 21 and November 28. We now have additional information from the sales tracker, revealing that the split was 197,000 for Sun and 179,000 for Moon.
That means each version is reduced to about a fourth of their first week sales. Pokemon X (second week of 240,000 copies) and Pokemon Y (233,000 copies) also saw about the same reduction rate. By counting the two games from the Double Pack, Sun and Moon’s total sales as of the second week are 2,281,000 copies, which goes down slightly if compared to X/Y’s two-week total of 2,340,000 units.

Super Mario Maker for 3DS version 1.02 now live
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
Yesterday we noted that Super Mario Maker for 3DS’s first update, version 1.01, was on the eShop. Strangely, Nintendo already has another update available. Version 1.02 has now replaced the previous patch on the eShop.
The size is exactly the same at 158 blocks (19.75 MB). Also, once again, the update is needed in order to access the Course World and its online features.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.

The Game Awards 2016 live stream
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Switch, Videos, Wii U | 4 Comments
The Game Awards 2016 will be beginning soon. If you’d like to watch the show as it happens, we have a handy stream link below.
To clarify what’s happening: the pre-show is taking place a half hour early at 5:30 PM PT / 8:30 PM ET / 1:30 AM in the UK / 2:30 AM in Europe. You won’t want to miss it, as Nintendo will be showing an “exclusive look” at Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and we’ll be seeing something from Yacht Club Games. More on Zelda is supposedly coming during the show itself, and winners for the awards will be selected. It should be a fun night!
