The Japanese Kirby: Planet Robobot website has updated again with more concept art. This time, it focuses on designs for the various forms of Kirby’s Robobot armor. Check them out below:

At first, HAL planned to name it Powered Armor, and have five different type of robots:

– Multi-Leg Cannon Pod
– Jet Fighter
– Gear
– Spanner
– (Screw) Driver

However, this idea didn’t get approved, so they decided to choose just the Spanner type and made about 100 designs for the Robobot.

Yo-kai Watch 3 started out by selling 630,000 copies in its first week. In its second week, the game moved another 169,000 units. Media Create reports that the split was 85,000 copies for the Sushi version and 83,000 copies for Tempura.

Lifetime sales of Yo-kai Watch 3 now sit at around 800,000 copies. However, the sell-through rate hasn’t met the initial shipping stock (of about one million copies). When considering additional shipments, currently the RPG is estimated to have over 500,000 copies in market stock, and retailers have said that a lot of copies have been left over. On the other hand, Yo-kai Watch Busters managed to almost fully sell through its initial shipping numbers by moving a total of 915,000 copies in this same time frame (first two weeks) last year, and reached a million on its third week.

Considering the selling pace of Yo-kai Watch 3, Media Create will be looking to see whether it can achieve a total of one million copies sold by the Obon holidays. That period will take place during the middle of next month.

Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse received a retail release in Japan late last year. Now the game could be getting the same treatment in North America. According to GameFly, Shantae and the Pirate’s Curse will be hitting retail for 3DS on September 20.

GameFly has leaked several things in the past – such as the new version of Darksiders most recently. The page does list Maximum Games as the publisher though, which could be a mistake. SteamWorld Collection also has Maximum Games mentioned as the publisher, but we know that it’s actually Rising Star Games handling that one.

Yesterday, Level-5 made several announcements. One of the major reveals was Lady Layton, which was quickly confirmed for the west.

The Snack World, Level-5’s next cross-media project, also appears to be heading overseas. Level-5’s western press release snuck in a mention that its subsidiary Level-5 abby will be handling “overseas expansion.” The rollout schedule has not yet been determined, however.

Level-5 did also mention Megaton Musashi and Inazuma Eleven Ares in its announcement. However, rollout plans for both outside of Japan are “yet to be determined.”
