Nintendo has also updated their E3 2011 trailer for Kirby’s Return to Dream Land slightly (click here), although it doesn’t contain any new footage. Actually, I’m fairly certain that they just swapped in the new logo.

How did Xenoblade Chronicles perform in its first week in the UK?

Posted on 13 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii | 0 comments

We found out earlier today that Xenoblade Chronicles made it into the top ten rankings of the UK charts. It was unclear, however, how many units were sold. Although we still don’t have a precise figure, it seems that the title sold less than 6,600 units.

This is just one territory in Europe, so I wouldn’t be too disappointed about these sales. Also, it’s an encouraging sign that the game sold under 6,600 copies in a about a day and was still the third best-selling game on the individual formats chart. We’ll have to continue watching Xenoblade’s sales over the next few weeks.
