In the ZombiU trailer we posted today, the final image of the video indicates that the game will be launching on November 13. That’s a bit odd given that the Wii U won’t be out until November 18.
I suppose this doesn’t matter too much. You will, after all, need a Wii U in order to play ZombiU. But it is definitely interesting that Ubisoft could be shipping the first title before the system hits store shelves.
Thanks to Einstein for the tip.
New Fire Emblem: Awakening downloadable content went live in Japan today that continued the “Another Story: Future of Despair” arc. The third piece is scheduled for release next Thursday.
In this DLC, players will fight alongside Lucina, Jerome, Selena and Loran. There are children gathering around the stairs to prevent powerful enemy reinforcements from invading the area. You’ll need to do your part and cooperate to ensure that the children stay alive and the reinforcements are held off. It’s possible to view special conversations if the children’s mothers/fathers move next to them.
Another Story: Future of Despair 3 will be available on October 18 for 250 yen. The first and second episodes aren’t required in order to download this DLC.

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.
