Well, Nintendo’s first test of DLC seems to have been a success! Here’s the rundown:
– 75% of 3DS systems are connected to the internet
– Roughly 1.2 million downloads of DLC
– Roughly ¥380 million in sales.
– Converts to about $4.8 million
Hopefully they don’t start milking the concept, and instead stick with offering full and complete games regardless of what DLC will be offered.
– Three kinds of mushrooms: Red, Purple, Yellow
– Red mushrooms make you grow one size larger
– Purple mushrooms shrink you down
– Yellow mushrooms make you grow to “mega size”
– The mode is balanced equally when compared to other modes if mushrooms are not used
– Bigger is not necessarily better, as certain moves won’t be able to reach smaller players
– Came about when the developers played around with a size slider for fun
– When the Wii U development started, someone thought it would be cool to combine that with Mushrooms
– No word on whether Mushroom Battle will have an online mode
Injustice: Gods Among Us is expected to arrive in April 2013. Warner Bros. Interactive Entertainment announced the release window earlier today. A final release date will be announced closer to launch.

“Our U.S. office mainly works to efficiently release the Japanese titles that Level-5 has created overseas and they are involved in production and distribution in the overseas territories. With Ni no Kuni, they are helping bring it to the overseas markets and potentially with other titles. In the future, we would potentially like to develop title overseas where Level-5 International America is taking the lead on developing for the overseas market.” – Level 5 CEO Akihiro Hino
Hmm… It’s a bit up for debate as of right now, but once they finish localization of Ni no Kuni and the rumored publishing of Guild 01 I could see them slowly taking on a development role. Assuming that Ni no Kuni and Guild 01 sell enough to keep them afloat, that is!
