I’d definitely say that the new one looks nicer!

Super Mario Maker moved 150,000 units in its first week in Japan. According to sales tracker Media Create, the game sold through 56.03 percent of its initial shipment.

Media Create heard from store owners that many people who purchased Super Mario Maker were adults. This is likely because they are the ones who would have grown up playing Mario.

Also, there were hardware bundles that included the game (both types together sold 12,000 units), leading to a nearly double increase in Wii U sales from last week (204.18 percent), exceeding sales from the first week of June. Since the Super Mario Maker Wii U bundle will soon be replacing the Mario Kart 8 edition, Media Create believes this should increase long term sales during the coming end of year season.

Xenoblade Chronicles X has received its second update in Japan. Given the small increment in the version change (1.0.2), it should come as no surprise that there isn’t a whole lot to the patch.

The new update simply addresses a single glitch within the game. Monolith Soft has fixed things so that players won’t encounter issues obtaining a single Union Point at a time during offline play. That’s all there is to it!
