Wii

I think this Nintendo Download sets the record for most games available in a single week. There’s really a lot to be interested here between the Heroes of Ruin demo, Sakura Samurai discount, and and classic games on the eShop and Wii Shop Channel.

This week’s Nintendo Download includes the following featured content:

Nintendo eShop

The Legend of Zeldaâ„¢ – Celebrate the Nintendo eShop “8-bit Summer” series with this smash-hit adventure, originally released on the NESâ„¢ console in 1987. Help Linkâ„¢ restore the Triforce, rescue the princess and thwart Ganon’s evil plans. (For Nintendo 3DSâ„¢)

NES Open Tournament Golfâ„¢ – This classic NES game from 1991 – now available for Nintendo 3DS as part of the Nintendo eShop “8-bit Summer” series – lets you challenge another player in Stroke, Match and Tournament modes. (For Nintendo 3DS)


The latest Japanese hardware sales from Media Create are as follows:

3DS – 66,391
Vita – 25,636
PS3 – 17,292
PSP – 10,674
Wii – 6,987
PS2 – 1,250
Xbox 360 – 1,156
DSi – 840
DSi LL – 728

For comparison’s sake, here are the hardware numbers from last week:

3DS – 68,056
PS3 – 15,680
Vita – 13,589
PSP – 8,954
Wii – 6,127
Xbox 360 – 1,073
PS2 – 1,065
DSi = 900
DSi LL – 704


So, this is incredibly odd. Famitsu has posted its entire data of the latest software/hardware sales in Japan. It usually waits a week before providing any sort of concrete numbers, but not this time! This could be a pretty big change for Famitsu…

In any case, we’ve posted the translated software/hardware sales below. We’ll also post Media Create’s data later today.

We found out about Quiz Party last week. Today, Nintendo of Europe has made the game official. You can find the announcement below.

Following in the footsteps of Wii Sports, Wii Party, Wii Play Motion and Mario Party series, Nintendo are set to launch a new family favourite – QUIZ PARTY

4th July 2012 – Get your thinking cap on and prepare for hours of fun with your friends and family when the latest party favourite from Nintendo comes to Wii in the UK on 27th July. QUIZ PARTY offers you a unique and inclusive experience which can be enjoyed by everyone, and with an unlimited number of players you can truly put everyone’s general knowledge to the test!

With over 2000 questions covering a wide variety of themes, all voiced by legendary Quiz Show host Roy Walker, there really is something for everyone in QUIZ PARTY! It doesn’t matter what your favourite subject is, you could be asked a random selection of questions covering a varied range of themes Whether you are a whizz at History, Geography and Nature or if your knowledge is a little more current and you prefer Sport, TV and Films, there will be a question to suit everyone. Get the game started by selecting between two and four teams and with no limit on the number of people on each team, everyone in the room can have a go.


This piece will be on the CD for Kirby’s Dream Collection Special Edition. Hopefully other orchestrated tracks are included!
