Wii U

I actually saw this on reddit a couple of days ago, but didn’t think it was news-worthy for our great website. Apparently, IGN has not such high standards.

I kid, of course. This is serious business, because the ultra-hard sequel to the ultra-tough game Dark Souls was announced just a few days ago for PS3, PC, and 360– but not for Wii U. Apparently a group of gamers is pretty frustrated by this, so they’ve started an online petition to try and get Namco Bandai to reconsider. Currently there are about 6,000 people who have pledged support, and while I’m not sure that’s quite enough to get the game released (try 100,000… or more!), it’s a start. If you would buy Dark Souls II on Wii U, add your name to the petition:

I had completely forgot about this video! The bit was recorded during the extremely short Nintendo Direct a few days back. Here it is now:

The first free downloadable content has arrived in Ninja Gaiden 3: Razor’s Edge. Players can now take on the role of Momiji.

Team Ninja is working on a second DLC character in addition to Momiji. Sometime in the future, Kasumi will be added to the game.

Update: Precise data from Famitsu is in. Wii U sold 308,570 over the weekend. Other sales:

New Super Mario Bros. U – 170,563 units
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate – 110,159 units
Nintendo Land – 78,461 units

Gamekult is reporting, via Famitsu/Enterbrain, that the Wii U sold 307,471 units in Japan over the weekend.

Nintendo launched the new console on Saturday. If Gamekult is correct, Wii U managed to hit the 300,000 units sold mark in two days of availability.

The site also shared the following software sales data:

New Super Mario Bros. U – 160,140 (57.6% sell-through)
Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate – 106,454 (72.6%)
Nintendo Land – 66,583 (30%)
ZombiU – 10,680 copies (28.8%)
Warriors Ororchi 3 Hyper – 7,252 copies (16.2%)
Tekken Tag Tournament 2: Wii U Edition – 4,951 copies (16.9%)

Nintendo Land’s sales are rather disappointing so far. Remember: the game isn’t bundled in either the Deluxe or Basic sets.

Wii U’s initial hardware sales stack up somewhat similarly to the Wii. When the old system hit store shelves in 2006, Media Create data revealed that it sold 350,358 units during its launch weekend. Top titles were Wii Sports (176,000 units sold), Wii Play (174,000 units sold) and Twilight Princess (139,000 units sold).
