Platinum Games has updated its Wonderful 101 blog with a ninth post. You can find it here. Today’s update covers Wonder-Pink.
– Set in Kamui Daimon United Academy
– It’s a prestigious school built for LBX players
– School has a battlefield underneath known as the “Second World”
– Battles take place between LBXes here
– Play as a new transfer student in this school
– Interact with the heroes of the anime, Arata and Hikaru
– In the second world, you maneuver a team of LBXes by drawing lines on the touch screen
– Battle screen takes over when you make contact with an enemy on the map
– LBXes can fight with eight different weapons: the sword/rapier, lance/naginata, hammer, one-handed gun, two-handed gun, dagger/knuckle, bazooka/missile, and arm weapon
We’ve come across a new European trademark just filed by Namco Bandai yesterday. The company now owns “Mach Storm” – a name that is associated with Zoids, but that’s about it.
It should be noted that Mach Storm’s filing suggests some sort of relation to video games. There hasn’t been a new Zoids title in quite some time (plus it’d be bizarre to name something based on a Zoids battle team), so if this is something that is actually in development, it’s likely a brand new project and unrelated to the brand. Unless I’m missing something here…
The latest Injustice: Gods Among Us character saga is about to come to an end. We knew an announcement was coming this week, but NetherRealm Studios’ Ed Boon has now confirmed that the news will be revealed tomorrow. Thankfully this won’t be dragged out any longer.
Boon’s tweet reads:
My Spider sense is telling me the next DLC for INJUSTICE is going to be announced tomorrow!! Or at least my DC equivalent of Spider sense.

Details from the latest NIntendo annual report have come in, and it gives some interesting figures that really put things in perspective:
– Over the past 30 years, Nintendo has sold 653 million units of hardware.
– 268 million consoles, 385 million handhelds
– 2.195 billion units of software sold on home consoles
– 1.907 billion units of software for handhelds
– Software numbers include download software and bundled software
To put things in perspective: That works out to nearly 60,000 units of hardware sold every day on average, and nearly 375,000 units of software sold per day on average. The average software tie ratio? 6 games per unit of hardware.
That’s a lot of merchandise. Wowza.
