For comparison’s sake, here are the numbers from November 9 (last week).

DSi 33,749
Wii 26,764
PSP go 6,427

The DSi LL made its debut in Japan and sold about 100,000 units according to Media Create. There were no huge changes in numbers from last week, although there were some drops across the board. There will be a number of significant releases on December 3, so it should be interesting to see how those games affect sales. New Super Mario Bros. Wii received a perfect 40/40 from well-known Japanese magazine Famitsu, and that title is one of the releases that is expected to do well next week.
Aonuma’s son believes flight is the next for Link in the next Zelda, more MotionPlus talk
Posted on 15 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii | 6 Comments
“I have an eight-year-old son myself at home, and quite recently he started playing The Phantom Hourglass for DS, because when the software first hit the market he was too young. When he started playing with the boat, I told him: ‘In the next Zelda, you are going to be able to ride on the train.’ He answered: ‘OK, Dad, first boat, and then train? Surely next time, Link is going to fly in the sky … ‘. [Grins] I just don’t know. If many people make many speculations … some of them might be correct. Right now, I have to refrain from commenting on anything.” – Eiji Aonuma
“With this attachment, your minute hand movements are more precisely reflected … You can feel it so naturally and so intuitively. It’s not just an improvement over the movement of Link himself: the realisation of your more minute movements on the screen will expand the entire gameplay. I believe that we will be able to offer some great innovations in the new Legend of Zelda. Of course I have to refrain from giving any details, but we are contemplating altering the way the game progresses in comparison with all the past Legend of Zelda franchises…but I have to stop talking here.” – Eiji Aonuma
Obviously, the big piece of news here is that Eiji Aonuma sort of hints at the possibility of flight being used as a method of transportation in Zelda, through his son’s words. However, I don’t know how much we should read in to it. Aonuma grinned, but that doesn’t necessarily mean we’ll see Epona flying in the sky in Zelda Wii or anything…Although, that could be neat. We’ll just have to wait and see. All I know is that I’m really pumped to see what the game looks like.
