A few episodes of Minecraft: Story Mode can be found on the Wii U eShop. But sometime soon, the full set will come to Nintendo’s console as a physical release.

Listings for Minecraft: Story Mode – The Complete Adventure have been located in both North America and Europe. PEGI rated the package today, and GameFly recently put up a listing as well. If the retailer’s listing is accurate, Minecraft: Story Mode – The Complete Adventure launches in North America on December 13.

LEGO Dimensions is adding a new pack based on Sonic the Hedgehog next month. As it turns out, the Blue Blur isn’t the only character from SEGA’s franchise that will appear.

A tweet went out on the LEGO Dimensions Twitter account earlier today showing Shadow, Tails, Big the Cat, and Knuckles. It’s the only image we have to go off for now, but they are indeed in. You can see them all in their glorified “LEGO-ness” above.

NPD’s preliminary report for September 2016 sales in the United States is starting to make the rounds. AstronautClaire, who has access to the data, was kind enough to share some early information.

Yo-kai Watch 2 was one of Nintendo’s big releases last month. It launched in two versions at the very end of September: Bony Spirits and Fleshy Souls. Between September 30 and October 1, the game sold about 35,000 copies. It’s somewhat tough to comment on Yo-kai Watch 2’s performance thus far given that we have just a couple of days worth of data. However, it is worth noting that Leo Burnett’s Yo-kai Watch 2 commercials have aired 803 times across Disney Channel and Nickelodeon, so quite a bit of money is being spent on advertising.
