February 2015 NPD: Wii U sales just under 100,000 units
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 14 Comments
Nintendo said in its NPD response earlier this week that thus far in 2015, Wii U hardware sales are up by more than 20 percent over sales in the same period last year. But how many units were actually moved in the U.S. last month? It’s currently estimated that sales fell somewhere between 94,000 and 96,000 units or so.
That’s a bit better than January, in which Wii U sales came in at around 64,000 units. It’s also slightly higher than last February’s figure of 82,500 units.

Between March 29 and April 4, Target will be holding a buy 1, get 1 50% off sale. This will apply to all games sold by the retailer.
Although it’s not quite as significant, a separate buy one, get 1 free sale will kick off at Target on March 15. It’s for non-planogram games – essentially clearance titles.
If you need further details about either sale, check out the image above.

Nobuo Uematsu was interested in working on Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 9 Comments
Nobuo Uematsu worked on Super Smash Bros. Brawl, and ended up creating the game’s orchestral theme. As for how his participation with Brawl’s development came about, Uematsu told Game Informer:
“I have a feeling that I got the job offer from Mr. Sakurai while we were drinking. He would let me selfishly do whatever I wanted, whether it be using an orchestra or using opera singers.”
It appears that Uematsu would have been interested in returning for the new Smash Bros. games on Wii U/3DS, but wasn’t asked to be brought back.
Uematsu said:
“Why didn’t I participate in the new Smash Brothers!? Ask Mr. Sakurai! I wanted to work on it! All joking aside, it’s just that, since there are many video game musicians representing Japan who are already participating, there’s no need for me.”

Wave 4 of amiibo releasing late next month in Australia/New Zealand
Posted on 9 years ago by Dennis Gagliardotto(@LyonHart_) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 15 Comments
In Australia and New Zealand… Yes, still no date for the always bereft United States, but we remain hopeful that sooner or later we’ll get an official date on a Smash wave for the first time since Super Smash Bros. Wii U released way back in November (we probably won’t).
Nintendo of AU/NZ just tweeted that on April 25th, Australia and New Zealand will be receiving Wave 4 of the Super Smash Bros. line of amiibo. Wave 4 includes Robin, Lucina, Wario, Charizard, Ness, and Pac-Man.
These amiibo – Robin, Lucina, Pac-Man, Wario, Charizard & Ness – will be available in AU/NZ on 25th April! pic.twitter.com/NmxDxmTcWh

So far the US is currently the only region without a solid release date. So, the usual.
Do note that there are also no preorders available ANYWHERE for this wave, which makes you wonder what kind of a mosh-pit is sure to ensue in retailers once people get word that they’ve released. There is certainly still time for preorders to happen, but if prior waves are any indication, preorders have usually begun soon after the release of a new wave, and we still haven’t heard a thing regarding wave 4 other than “they’re coming” from a Nintendo Direct way back in mid-January.
Are you planning on picking any of Wave 4 when they slowly but not so surely release? Let us know below!
