The first free downloadable content has arrived in Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge. Players can now take on the role of Momiji.

Team Ninja is working on a second DLC character in addition to Momiji. Sometime in the future, Kasumi will be added to the game.

Update: Precise data from Famitsu is in. Wii U sold 308,570 over the weekend. Other sales:

New Super Mario Bros. U – 170,563 units
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate – 110,159 units
Nintendo Land – 78,461 units

Gamekult is reporting, via Famitsu/Enterbrain, that the Wii U sold 307,471 units in Japan over the weekend.

Nintendo launched the new console on Saturday. If Gamekult is correct, Wii U managed to hit the 300,000 units sold mark in two days of availability.

The site also shared the following software sales data:

New Super Mario Bros. U – 160,140 (57.6% sell-through)
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate – 106,454 (72.6%)
Nintendo Land – 66,583 (30%)
ZombiU – 10,680 copies (28.8%)
Warriors Ororchi 3 Hyper – 7,252 copies (16.2%)
Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Wii U Edition – 4,951 copies (16.9%)

Nintendo Land’s sales are rather disappointing so far. Remember: the game isn’t bundled in either the Deluxe or Basic sets.

Wii U’s initial hardware sales stack up somewhat similarly to the Wii. When the old system hit store shelves in 2006, Media Create data revealed that it sold 350,358 units during its launch weekend. Top titles were Wii Sports (176,000 units sold), Wii Play (174,000 units sold) and Twilight Princess (139,000 units sold).

Nintendo has confirmed that European Wii U owners are unable to purchase 18+ rated content from the eShop.

Why, you ask? Nintendo of Europe is based in Germany. That means the company must comply with German youth protection regulation. And thus, European gamers can’t purchase games like ZombiU or Assassin’s Creed III in the day time.

Nintendo of Europe explained:

“At Nintendo we always aim to provide a safe gaming experience for fans of all ages and ensure that we comply with applicable legal age restriction requirements across Europe. Legal age restriction requirements vary across a number of European countries. Since Nintendo of Europe is based in Germany, Nintendo eShop is complying with German youth protection regulation which therefore applies to all our European markets. Under German law, content rated 18+ must be made available only at night. Therefore the accessibility of 18+ content in Nintendo eShop is limited to [USK: 22:00 UTC until 4:00 UTC] [PEGI: 23:00 UTC until 3:00 UTC].”
