We have more encouraging Nintendo-related news from the May 2014 NPD report.
First, we’re hearing that Wii U hardware sales rose by over 85 percent last month. That was with Mario Kart 8 being on the market for just two days.
Additionally, Nintendo says that the 3DS was the second best-selling system in May.
As reported by journalist Ian Sherr:
Wii U hardware sales were up more than 85% in May specifically, with only two days of Mario Kart being on the market for the survey. #NPD

Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call will receive songs from future Final Fantasy games through DLC
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call represents a whole bunch of games. Square Enix probably won’t be coming out with another Final Fantasy-oriented Theatrhythm game in the future, but later entries in the series (such as Final Fantasy XV presumably) will be featured through DLC.
Producer Ichiro Hazama told Polygon:
“We wanted to make it so Curtain Call is like your base, and then you would add more songs as newer titles joined the roster and be able to accommodate for DLC or things like that and build upon it. But that would be our final form of Theatrhythm that handles the Final Fantasy songs. In terms of Final Fantasy songs, we will continue to produce new Final Fantasy titles and with that, there’ll be new songs added to the repertoire.”
“No matter where you cut and where you eat, it’s still a tasty piece of cake. With Theatrhythm, I made sure to kind of pick up the ante on the music flavor, the rhythm flavor of the Final Fantasy elements. We’re focusing on that music aspect of Final Fantasy, but we make sure to not cut corners and make it as polished as possible. That’s what I focused on in this game, and I am confident that if we continue to do that and bring a really polished product, people will enjoy it and it won’t be yet another spin-off that’s just out there. I want to continue making games like that.”
