Karateka not coming to the Wii U

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments

A few months ago, a Wii U listing of the Karateka remake popped up on the ESRB. The game’s launch came and passed… yet there was no news about it heading to the eShop.

We contacted the game’s developer to find out just what was happening, and whether or not Karateka would ever arrive on the Wii U.

Producer Heather D’Evelyn told us that Karateka was considered for the platform “at the beginning of the project but never went into development.” D’Evelyn added that there are no plans to bring the game to the Wii U at this time.

This makes you wonder why Karateka was ever listed for the Wii U on the ESRB, doesn’t it? Ah well…

March 2013 NPD: Monster Hunter, LEGO City, Need for Speed, Castlevania estimates

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Podcast Stories, Wii U | 0 comments

A few big titles came out on Nintendo platforms last month. Arguably the most significant was Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate, which launched on both the Wii U and 3DS.

In roughly three weeks, Ultimate moved somewhere between 100,000 and 130,000 copies on both platforms. The 3DS picked up 60% of the game’s sales while Wii U picked up the other 40%. Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate is now 13th all time on NPD’s Wii U lifetime software chart.

Other NPD estimates include LEGO City: Undercover (more than 100,000 copies, but less than Ultimate on Wii U and 3DS), Need for Speed: Most Wanted U (less than 10,000 copies), and Castlevania: Lords of Shadow – Mirror of Fate (around 30,000 units).
