Advance Wars: Dual Strike came out this week as Europe’s latest Wii U Virtual Console game. For a look at the title, watch the video below.

A new trailer for Dungeons & Robots recently went live to promote the game on Steam Early Access. Check out the video below.

In its first week in Japan, Mega Man Legacy Collection sold 23,942 units as reported by Media Create, or 22,259 copies if you’re going with Dengeki. Based on information from the latter sales tracker, the game sold through 50 percent of its initial shipment. Mega Man Legacy Collection is a package of classic titles rather than a brand new release in the series, so it’s a bit tough to judge its performance.

Yesterday, via the latest Nintendo Direct, it was confirmed that Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE would be launching in the west in June. Some new footage from the western release was also shown.

With the latest gameplay scenes, Twitter user “MGNoxa” happened to notice that Tsubasa Oribe’s idol outfit has been changed. In the image above, the original Japanese version is on the left while the overseas version is on the right. It remains to be seen if any other edits have been made for the overseas version of Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

At Monster Hunter Festa this year, Capcom distributed the Monster Hunter Generations Concept Art Book. This has some interesting information about concepts for a pair of unused weapons. At one point, Capcom was considering the Hunting Hound and Wyvern Boomerang.

Here are some of the details about the two weapons as translated by Siliconera:

Hunting Hound

– Gunner class
– Dog is the primary weapon
– Dog could have armor made for it
– These would give it unique attacks and behavior
– Could find Monsters based on scent, or climbing to high places
– Issue button commands to coordinate attacks
– Ex: target body parts, like the tail, or focus on breaking horns, etc.
– Issuing a “follow the tail!” order would even have the pooch follow the Wyvern into the air
– Could ride it to move about the map faster, and it could be fed to recover health or stamina

Wyvern Boomerang

– Combos were even designed for this weapon
– Overhead attack not unlike the Great Sword
– Diversity is in its throwing attacks and how the player interacts with it in midair
– Throw it forward with “X”
– Throw it upward with “X+A”
– Round-house throw with “A”
– Before catching the boomerang after a throw, you’d be able to punch it back out into the air towards a Monster
– It could even break into two for more advanced combos

A new video from GameSpot gives another look at the Marvel Battlegrounds Play Set in Disney Infinity 3.0. Take a look at some footage below.

Nintendo uploaded Japanese patch notes for Super Mario Maker’s next update, though it’s pretty much a recap of what was already revealed during yesterday’s Nintendo Direct. Version 1.40 will add new items including Skewer columns and keys, Super Expert Mode in 100-Mario Challenge upon clearing Expert mode, and ranking categories for world records and the number of first clears on courses on the Super Mario Maker Bookmark site. Nintendo is also making adjustments for a more pleasant gaming experience.

Super Mario Maker version 1.40 will be out next Wednesday. The download will require 361MB of free space.
