System: 3DS
Release date: February 16, 2016
Developer: Monolith Soft
Publisher Bandai Namco

The original Project X Zone that released back in 2013 was a pleasant surprise to fans of Capcom, SEGA, and Bandai Namco alike. It brought characters from each respective publisher into a strategy RPG format where they band together and go across space and time to defeat villains across multiple series, as well as original characters, to save the world from collapsing into itself through the constant overlapping dimensions colliding. Project X Zone 2 doesn’t veer to far from the original, featuring a lot of the same characters, maps, stories, and more. It almost makes this feel like more of an expansion than a true sequel, but that’s not such a bad thing. The fan service of bringing all these iconic characters into one game is what keeps an experience like this special, and the humor on top is a bonus throughout.

Pokken Tournament’s main lineup of content won’t be expanded – at least right out of the gate. It’s been said that there are currently no plans to release more Pokemon or stages via downloadable content. Will that change at any point in the future? That remains to be seen.

Towards the beginning of last month, we heard about a new “Star Fox Limited Edition Fox McCloud Stone Statue” sold by GameStop. Originally, it was supposed to be out on February 9. That date has passed, and statues haven’t been shipped.

Based on GameStop’s listing, the Fox McCloud figure should be available on February 22 – next Monday. If we hear about any further delays, we’ll be sure to let you know.

More information is in from this month’s NPD report. We have sales data from the United States for one of Nintendo’s systems as well as two games.

First, in terms of hardware, Wii U sold roughly 40,000 units. Debut sales for Mario & Luigi: Paper Jam and Final Fantasy Explorers also came in at 71,000 and 53,000 copies respectively.

With the games, it’s important to remember that digital sales are not included. They also launched pretty late in January, so they only have about a week of data.

During the New York Toy Fair 2016, Scott Neitlich from Jakks Pacific indicated that the company has more plans for its World of Nintendo line. Neitlich told VideoGameHeat that Splatoon figures are in the pipeline. That would be rather interesting, as we’ve yet to see any Jakks Pacific merchandise based on Splatoon as of yet.

Here is the brief statement from Neitlich:
