EA discussed official sales numbers of Steven Spielberg’s Boom Blox, although the company did not specify whether the numbers are worldwide or just in the Americas. Since its launch date, Boom Blox has managed to sell through 450,000 units – a respectable sales figure for a new IP. Additionally, EA has commented on a Boom Blox sequel, noting, “It’s premature to talk because we have a key partner on this. Certainly, it’s a franchise we’d like to see more from.”

Rumors began to circulate this morning about Cave Story releasing on WiiWare when a news post over at Amigaworld indicated an upcoming announcement. However, the post has been since taken down and the original author explained that the situation was nothing more than a mix up on his part. This doesn’t mean that Cave Story will never come out for WiiWare, but for now, there seems to be no plans for the game on WiiWare.

Hudson recently sat down with PlanetNintendo to discuss a variety of topics, including Hudson’s plans for the future. Although the interview was translated, there seems to be news on some new projects from the company. Hudson’s Hiromi Tomisawa seemed to reveal that Bomberman 2 for the DS, Kororinpa 2, and a new project called “Hard Working People” – both for the Wii – will be shown off at this year’s Leipzig. Not too many details regarding “Hard Working People” were discussed, although the game is a new IP. The developmnent team working on “Hard Working People” are putting a lot of effort into the game and promise that the game will be fun.
