Earlier this week, Media Create data revealed that Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns sold 100,000 copies in its first week in Japan. Per usual, the sales tracker has now followed up with a report that offers more insight into the title’s debut.

Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns sold through 61.29 percent of its initial shipment. It didn’t live up to the original game in both first week sales (131,000 units) and sell-through rate (73.07 percent). On the other hand, retailers have noticed that fans who’ve picked up the game are noticeably in their 30s, so it is suggested that there is a strong core fan base that has loyally followed the series through its 20 years.

Looking at the past 3DS releases of Story of Seasons (total sales 286,000 copies) and Harvest Moon 3D: A New Beginning (287,000 copies), both had managed a stable sales volume. Media Create is therefore observing whether Trio of Towns will be able to keep the same sales volume in the future.

Update: Bumped to the top. Shaymin is now available in North America.


Pokemon players in Europe and Australia can get their hands on the latest distribution via the Nintendo Network. Shaymin is out now for X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire. It’s available as a Mystery Gift via the Internet. Note that the distribution ends on July 24.

Now that the Link’s Awakening Pack has launched for Hyrule Warriors and Hyrule Warriors Legends, we’re expecting a bunch of footage to surface showing Marin, Linkle’s Pegasus Boots, and more. We’ll keep this post updated throughout the day with videos that come in.

The Play Nintendo YouTube account has kicked off what appears to be a new video series. Watch the first episode below as Andrew and his “snappy” friend Izzy highlight New Super Mario Bros. 2.

Polygon put up an hour of footage from one of this week’s releases, Zero Time Dilemma. Check out the full gameplay video below.

Hyrule Warriors and Hyrule Warriors Legends have both received new updates and DLC. On Wii U, version 1.10.0 is out now. 3DS is up to version 1.4.0.

The patch notes for Wii U say that adjustments were made to some of the characters while also fixing bugs. 3DS has increased the level cap, added medals and fairies, adjusted rupees earned through StreetPass Link, adjusted characters, and addressed bugs.

The newest DLC, Link’s Awakening Pack, is available on both of Nintendo’s platforms. This includes Marin, boots for Linkle, 16 new costumes, plus 16 new My Fairy costume pieces and an Adventure Mode map specifically on 3DS.
