Mighty No. 9 will have a Miiverse community
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 3 Comments
A few details were posted on the Mighty No. 9 website in an update shared yesterday. Based on one of the things listed – at least for the Wii U version – it sounded like there were no plans for Miiverse support.
The official Mighty No. 9 Twitter account has since clarified the situation. While the game itself won’t have any special Miiverse integration, there are still plans to add a Mighty No. 9 community to the social network.
Hey Mighties, spread the word: "No Miiverse support" means no in-game integration. There will be a Miiverse community! #MightyNo9

May 2015 NPD: Splatoon sells 136,000 copies
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 64 Comments
NPD published its latest software chart based on data collected throughout May on the U.S. market. As Splatoon launched on May 29, it just managed to sneak its way into the reporting period.
Splatoon managed to take the fifth spot in NPD’s chart for May. But the big question is, how many copies did the game actually sell?
NPD hasn’t provided specific numbers in ages, and Nintendo did not send out a response to the May report. But thankfully, well-known sales leaker “creamsugar” has come through with data. creamsugar says that Splatoon sold 136,000 copies in May, which is based on just two days of sales.
Splatoon’s U.S. debut is fairly similar to its performance in Japan. Through four days, the title sold 145,000 units on the Japanese market.
