Next Famitsu will have a big scoop, more Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate coverage
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News | 1 Comment
Next week’s issue of Famitsu will have a big scoop, as noted in the magazine’s current edition. At least if the tease leads to a disappointing reveal or a non-Nintendo announcement, we’ll be able to look forward to more coverage of Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate as well. Famitsu also promises a recommended games feature for readers.
The next issue of Famitsu should arrive during the middle of next week. However, as is usually the case, leaks will occur as early as Tuesday.
Get Off My Lawn! heading to Wii U
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 2 Comments
Digital Leisure is bringing a new game to Wii U titled “Get Off My Lawn!”. Not much is known about it at present, but the USK lists the title’s genre as arcade/shoot’em up.
We followed up with Digital Leisure late last week, and while we couldn’t secure any additional information, we were told that the company is “prepping a release in the coming weeks”. I assume we’ll be hearing more soon then!

SEGA expects 3DS to be its biggest selling single platform this financial year
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 10 Comments
SEGA is putting most of its efforts into the 3DS this financial year. The company has 13 SKUs planned for the system (which could include limited editions and download games) and estimates that they’ll sell a combined 2.27 million units.
Wii U, on the other hand, isn’t expected to move as many games. SEGA forecasts that the console will be the seventh biggest contributor for SEGA this year with 600,000 sales across 4 SKUs. Wii U falls behind all other mainstream gaming platforms aside from the Xbox One.
