GameFly lists Terraria for Wii U and 3DS
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 7 Comments
505 Games appears to be bringing Terraria to Nintendo platforms, based on GameFly listings. The retailer has Terraria listed for both Wii U and 3DS.
GameFly lists an October 31 release date for both versions. However, this is likely a placeholder.
Terraria was once thought to be out of the question for Wii U and 3DS. I wonder what changed!

Splatoon screenshot/art (1/20/15)

Update: Translations below:
New report! We’ve just received intel on a sub weapon that appears to be some sort of ink shield. Activating it apparently blocks enemy attacks and progress for a short time. This is a great example of how sub weapons can be used not only for attacking purposes, but for defense and team support as well.
Check this out! Squid fighters can take a set of three weapons into battle: a main weapon, a sub weapon, and a special weapon. Turf wars are considered a serious sport in the squid world, and as such, the weapon manufacturers are constantly competing to outdo one another with new innovations to help these athletes gain the upper hand…er, tentacle.
Unfortunately only Japanese text at the moment, we’ll update the post if that changes.

Youkai Watch 2, Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire lead holiday sales in Japan
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 3 Comments
According to Media Create, gaming software sales in Japan during the end-of-year holiday period came in at 10.854 million units. The sales tracker calculated end-of-year sales based on the seven weeks from November 17th, 2014 to January 4th, 2015.
Software sales in Japan stacked up similarly to the same period the year prior (100.36% of 2013). Youkai Watch 2 (2.447 million units) and Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire (2.591 million units) accounted for 45 percent of total Japanese software sales during the end-of-year holiday period.
Wii U software sales were 112.95 percent of 2013. It was the only system aside from the 3DS to experience an increase in software sales.
Overall hardware sales on the Japanese market during the end-of-year season stood at 1.74 million units. Hardware decreased to 83.42 percent of the same period from 2013. The 3DS dipped a bit to 93.96 percent of 2013, which could be because most of its popular software sold to existing 3DS owners rather than new buyers.
