Capcom’s HD version of Resident Evil: Revelations shipped 900,000 units around the world during the three month period ending June 30. Note that shipped doesn’t fully translate to sold. Resident Evil series sales now stand at over 57 million units.
As far as Capcom’s actual financial results are concerned, the company’s net income decreased to ¥828 million ($135 million), leading to a 37.3 percent drop year-over-year. Net sales took a hit as well and lowered by 6.2 percent to ¥17.5 billion yen ($2.85 billion).
Capcom said of its financial results:
“Consolidated financial results for ended June 30, 2013 was decreased in sales and all profits from the same term last year, because of the lower ASP for the package software and the lack of major titles for the mobile contents in the Digital Content business.”
Two Tribes has tweeted an off-screen shot showing the original Toki Tori running on Wii U via the GamePad. This title, along with other older games from the studio, will be released on the eShop sometime in the future.

Bertil Hörberg, creator of Gunman Clive, has given a first look at his brand new project. On Twitter, Hörberg shared a couple of GIFs showing the game in action:

The yet-to-be-named title was confirmed for the 3DS eShop back in May. According to Hörberg, “it’s very heavily inspired by the early Zelda games”.
New versions of Monster Hunter Frontier G were announced in this week’s Famitsu. Previously released on the Xbox 360 and PC in Japan, the online title is now heading to the Wii U and PlayStation 3.
Director Tatsumi Kimoto and producer Kazunori Sugiura chatted about Monster Hunter Frontier G with Famitsu to discuss where Capcom is taking the game with these new platforms.
First, Kimoto provided the following overview:
“The biggest asset of MHFG is how it provides a continually-evolving hunting experience for you to enjoy through its regularly large-scale updates. That’s a unique attraction, the way the game changes with each update through its new monsters, weapons, and armor. With MHFG being online only, you can enjoy the game with hunters from all across the country, and we provide a wealth of content that lets you interact and work together with them. For someone just starting, it’s packed with so much content that you’ll never be able to digest it all.”
Only one score has surfaced from Famitsu this week, Nekketsu Kouha Kunio-Kun SP. The game earned two 8s and two 7s from the publication. There should be additional scores, but those haven’t reported from Famitsu thus far.
