A few new details about Super Robot Wars UX have arrived. Below you’ll learn about Partner Units and Single Units. Each has its own features as well as advantages and disadvantages.
Partner Unit (PU)
– Two parts to the Partner Unit
– Main machine in charge of moving attacking
– Sub machine controls attacks and defense
– Main machine determines the unit’s mobility
– Can have a highly mobile flying main machine with a powerful yet less mobile sub machine backing it up to have best of both worlds
– Sub machines can defensively cover the main in various situations
– Ex: can provide cover once it approaches the main machine’s terrain or if the main’s heal didn’t work
– Providing support within the unit is a major boost for any Partner Unit machines
– Their downfall is not being able to provide support to other nearby units in situational moments
Single Unit (SU)
– Single Units: machines without a Partner Unit
– These can provide and receive offensive and defensive support from adjacent allied units
– Can move once more if they can manage to take down at least one enemy unit during their attacks
– Can perform an “attack all”
– This targets the main and sub machines of an enemy Power Unit
– Single Unit can be great as a support for all the allies, but suffer when they’re caught alone
– When encountering enemy Partner Units, they can also take heavy damage with less support abilities available
Capcom pushed back the Japanese release of Monster Hunter 4 to summer. At the time, the company said it made the decision in order to improve the game’s quality. But Japanese magazine Game Lab offers a different reason: Monster Hunter 4 is also in the works for the PS Vita.
For what it’s worth, Game Lab’s rumors tend to be hit or miss. A considerable amount of its speculation never resulted in anything, but it was one of the first sources claiming that God Eater 2 would be made for the PS Vita. Turns out that was true.
The following Rock Band Music Store songs will be made available on January 22:
- Kelly Clarkson – “Stronger (What Doesn’t Kill You)” – keyboard support
- Living Colour – “Cult of Personality” – Pro Guitar and Pro Bass expansions available for 100 Wii Points
- Soundgarden – “Spoonman” – Pro Guitar and Pro Bass expansions available for 100 Wii Points
Each song can be purchased for 200 Wii Points.

Trine 2: Director’s Cut still isn’t out in Australia and New Zealand, but it’s coming. Developer Frozenbyte estimates a release in the fourth week of January… which should be next Thursday. The game’s first big update is also still on the way.
According to a report from LSA, the Wii U sold 118,000 units in France last year. How does that stack up to the Wii? In 2006, the old system moved 180,000 units over the same period. Both systems launched very late in their respective release years, so the data accounts for about a month of sales.
Unsurprisingly, most of the Wii U’s sales came from the Premium Pack – 75% of consumers picked up the bundle. Another 15% purchased the ZombiU Premium Pack, followed by the Basic Pack at 10%.
Other 2012 sales figures from LSA worth mentioning:
3DS – roughly 950,000 units
PS3 – 700,000 units
Wii – 372,000 units
360 – 360,000 units
