Zelda: Tri Force Heroes sold through 55% of its initial shipment in Japan
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 2 Comments
The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes moved 54,400 copies in its first week in Japan, according to Media Create. The sales tracker didn’t provide a sell-through rate, but Dengeki – who also keeps track of data – did come through on that front.
It looks like Tri Force Heroes managed to sell through 55 percent of its initial shipment. One important point to bring up, however, is that Dengeki has the game closer to having sold 60,000 copies.
Going back to Media Create for a moment, it’s mentioned that multiplayer content has been given the spotlight when marketed with TV commercials and such. For this reason and the fact that it differs from the series’ traditional single-player emphasis, it can be concluded that the strong spin-off flavor resulted in these sales numbers.

Yo-kai Watch – three characters introduced, Halloween posters
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Images, News | 3 Comments
Let us introduce you to three of the 200 amazing Yo-kai characters you’ll grow to love once you pick up the game and start to play:
Yo-kai Watch is a week away from its launch in North America. With its release date so close and Halloween taking place on Saturday, Nintendo is doing some extra promotion for the game.
First, here’s an overview of three of the 200 Yo-kai characters in the game:
Jibanyan
Jibanyan is a slacker cat who saps your energy. When he’s not lying around eating chocolate bars, Jibanyan likes to practice his fighting moves on passing trucks — usually with painful results!
Walkappa
Walkappa makes you want to go for a swim — or jump in a lake! Most kappas stay in the water, but this one is a landlubber. He keeps a bottle of water to pour on his head to stay wet, though.
Tattletell
Ever revealed a secret without realizing it? It might be the work of Tattletell, a mischievous Yo-kai who takes the form of an elderly woman.
Nintendo has also passed along a few Halloween posters in spirit of the event. Those are in the gallery below.
