“This is the best podcast we’ve ever done.”
~Jack
Jack says this is his favorite podcast we’ve ever done, and I’d have to say that it certainly went pretty well! Lots of talk about game design and what makes a game fun vs. boring, some discussion of Mighty Switch Force! 2, Mega Man X, and LEGO Legends of Chima, as well as lots of listener mail, your news, and a book club decision towards the end.

Pikmin 3’s first week Japanese sales are in. How do they stack up to the previous games in the series? Let’s take a look:
(2001) Pikmin – First week: 90,000 (54.9%) | Total sales: 549,000
(2004) Pikmin 2 – First week: 160,000 (48.4%) | Total sales: 484,000
(2013) Pikmin 3 – First week: 92,720 (48.45%)
One important point to note here is that Pikmin 3’s sales were accounted for over a two day period, whereas Pikmin 2 saw four days of sales. We also have to take into account that there aren’t a whole lot of Wii U units out in consumers’ hands just yet.
