Pokemon X/Y has already become a success even though the game isn’t due out for another two months.

According to Media Create, both versions of the game have racked up 260,000 copies in Japanese pre-orders thus far. That number was achieved in just a two day span.

Pokemon X/Y still has a ways to go before it meets Pokemon Black/White 2’s numbers, however. The DS games saw 1.16 million pre-orders a week before they launched in Japan.

How to Survive, previously announced for the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, and PC, is also in development for Wii U. The game was rumored for Nintendo’s console after a rating popped up on the USK.

We managed to receive confirmation from publisher 505 Games that How to Survive will be making its way to Nintendo’s console. However, the news comes with a bit of a caveat. All platforms will be receiving online multiplayer, allowing gamers to join up with a friend through the Internet – except on Wii U. Information provided by 505 Games indicates that Wii U will be the only console missing the feature, though local multiplayer will be included similar to other systems.

How to Survive will be out this fall as an eShop download. We’ll have more on the game in the very near future.

Platinum Games has updated its Wonderful 101 blog with a sixteenth post. You can find it here. Today’s update covers the mysterious characters in the game.

Shin Megami Tensei IV launched in North America last month. How’d it do? Pretty darn good all things considered.

In its first couple of weeks on the market, Shin Megami Tensei IV moved between 65,000 and 70,000 units in the US. That’s according to the reliable NPD leaker Creamsugar.

For a fairly niche RPG, that’s a number Atlus can be satisfied with.

Disney Infinity is a huge gamble – especially since the project’s budget was around $100 million. The Wall Street Journal, which shared the news, says that figure includes the cost of making the game as well as toys. Putting things in perspective, $100 million is what it costs to produce a major film.
