Capcom showed the first footage of Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate Wii U during a live-stream event at New York Comic 2012 today. Take a look at the video above for a capture of the stream.
* Video should be live in a minute or two.
I actually didn’t think SEGA would be producing Special/Limited Edition versions of Sonic & All-Stars Racing Transformed on the Wii U/3DS, but I guess I was wrong!

Nintendo has responded to the September 2012 NPD report, which should be out in full within the next hour.
Specific hardware sales weren’t outlined, by Nintendo confirmed that 3DS software sales are up 89 percent year-over-year. That’s partially due to the release of New Super Mario Bros. 2, which moved over 295,000 units last month. Mario Kart 7, Star Fox 64 3D, Kid Icarus: Uprising and The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D saw improved sales as well.
Nintendo additionally confirmed that Super Mario 64 DS has now obtained five million sales in the US. New Super Mario Bros. and Mario Kart DS are the only other DS titles to reach this milestone.

Trailers for Mario Golf, Robot Rescue, and Crazy Kangaroo. Videos for The Last Blade 2 and Nurikabe by Nikoli are currently unavailable.
Just to be clear, that’s NEXT week’s ‘X-Factor’ on October 17th…
“We know there is a demand out there for a new console format, and this is a new generation of console. Maybe at E3 2011 we didn’t make that clear enough – it really is a new box as well as that innovative controller. It offers many different things. We’re making sure to communicate that angle in the marketing, and the campaign will seem fresh and slightly different. Although there are clear elements that say ‘this is from the people behind Wii’ to maintain some continuity.” – Nintendo UK marketing and PR director Shelly Pearce
Well, looks like we might be stuck watching the X-Factor if we’re looking to get a first glimpse of Wii U’s television advertising campaign! It’s coming a little late in my opinion, but I guess Nintendo figured that people would get annoyed/bored by a flurry of ads if they ran them for more than a month.
Still, was I the only one who really enjoyed seeing those Wii ads when they were around!?
