Despite a troubled development and a negative critical reception, Sonic Boom: Rise of Lyric for Wii U and Sonic Boom: Shattered Crystal for Nintendo 3DS have sold a combined 620 00 copies to date. This news comes from SEGA’s financial results briefing for the past fiscal year (2014-15, which ended on March 31st).

In the next fiscal year (April 1st, 2015 – March 31st, 2016) SEGA plans to release a total of 34 titles – 14 in Japan and 20 in the West. SEGA expects to sell 7 140 000 units in that period of time.

Comcept have publisher another update on the development process of the upcoming Mighty No. 9.

First of are more voice actors announcements, this time for the characters of Mighty No. 7 (played by J P Karliak), Mighty No. 8 (played by Steve Blum), Dr. Sanda (played by Dave Wittenberg), Dr. White (played by Jason Spisak) and Mr. Graham (played by Scott Whyte). Check out their performances in the video below:

Comcept also announced the full Japanese cast for the game:

Finally, Comcept published an FAQ about the recently announced fact that Mighty No.9 will be published by Deep Silver.

Q: When will backer rewards go out?

A: All backer rewards will go out to coincide with the release date.

Q: Is it too late to change my console/platform or choice, or to update my shipping address for physical rewards?

A: It’s not too late! We will send out a final platform selection survey closer to Mighty No. 9’s release date, you can use this survey to finalize your console/platform of choice. You have two options for updating your address information:

1) Look for a confirmation message in your email, subject line “Confirmation for Order KICKMIGHTYNO9-#XXXXXX”, with the X’s representing your personal identification code. That should have a link to the survey where you can update your address.

2) Fangamer will send out a final address confirmation survey prior to shipping, so please be on the lookout for that a couple months before release!

Q: Can I upgrade my Kickstarter pledge to the recently-announced physical version?

A: The new physical retail version is manufactured and distributed by Deep Silver, and is separate from the disc, USB add-ons and other rewards offered during the original Kickstarter campaign. Therefore, the retail version is not applicable towards redemption of Kickstarter backer rewards.

Q: That’s not fair, I backed at the ____ level to get a USB/disc/etc. because there wasn’t a physical version! You should let me change/update my pledge!

A: While we love that you’re excited from Deep Silver’s retail release of Mighty No. 9, the aforementioned separation between Kickstarter and retail versions currently makes this impossible: As of now, the process involves two different manufacturers (Fangamer and Deep Silver) and multiple distributors (Humble Bundle, and Deep Silver’s regional distributors) for the Kickstarter and retail versions of the game. That’s why making this change would not as simple as upgrading your pledge. That being said, rest assured that your feedback has been heard and passed on to the appropriate channels.

Check out the full update here.

Mighty No. 9 will be released for Wii U this September, with a 3DS version to follow at a later date.

An instruction booklet found on the official LEGO site provides a first look at a few packs planned for LEGO Dimensions.

The Simpsons, Portal 2, and Doctor Who will be available as Level Packs. Jurassic World and Scooby Doo are coming as Team Packs.

Warner Bros. still has yet to officially announce most of these products. When LEGO Dimensions was revealed, the company said that packs would ship to stores throughout 2015 and 2016.

We’re hearing an interesting rumor about Paper Mario potentially coming to Wii U via Japanese forum 2ch.

Just recently, Intelligent Systems attended a job expo in Japan. A few folks who showed up for the event relayed this information on 2ch, along with speculation about a new Paper Mario. Representatives from the company were apparently stating that this is something that’s happening.

If nothing else, it does look like Intelligent Systems attended that job expo. The studio was handing out pamphlets/paperwork (posted on 2ch), which does suggest that part of the rumor is true.

Thanks to Kev for the tip.

Splatoon makes use of Miiverse in some interesting ways. For one thing, your character can appear in other players’ Plazas. Those who tried out Splatoon Global Testfire this weekend also noticed that Splatoon-related Miiverse art was showing up on billboards (and apparently some walls as well). It’s something that was hinted at before, but we now have a complete confirmation of the functionality.

If you’re not interested in seeing other players’ art/posts, it seems as though there will be an option to disable this. You’ll be able to either enable or disable “Miiverse Tags”, which show up as in-game graffiti.

Thanks to Austin for the tip.
