We’ll have NPD’s official list of the top ten best-selling games in the U.S. for the month of April in a bit. However, some preliminary information has arrived just a tad early.
GamesBeat reports that Star Fox Zero and Bravely Second were among April’s best-sellers. The two came in at the fifth and ninth spots respectively on the individual chart. This is different from NPD’s overall top 10 (we’ll have that shortly), which combines platforms and other items such as special editions. In that list though, Star Fox Zero does appear at the tenth spot.
Armikrog originally launched last September, but we haven’t heard too much about the Wii U version. Yet despite the lack of updates, the developer is still working with Nintendo’s console, and said in a recent Kickstarter update that “Wii U development is going great.”
Pencil Test Studios mentioned the following:
Overall the Wii U development is going great. We’re still working out a few technical issues resulting from the conversion of the game from PC to the console, but the main focus has been on getting the controls to work smoothly. We’re also updating some artwork to improve the look and allow things to run more efficiently on the Wii U. We don’t have a release date yet, but we’ll let you know as soon as we do.
When there’s more news about Armikrog on Wii U, we’ll have it right here on the site.

Update: Bumped to the top. Nintendo has now confirmed the same date for Europe, so the DLC should be out at the same time worldwide.

Variety shares the following information about it:
In October, DreamWorksTV, the kid-focused multichannel network that AwesomenessTV launched in 2014, will stage the Kids’ Game Awards, an interactive, all-digital show that will let viewers vote on their favorite video games (in the vein of Nickelodeon’s Kids’ Choice Awards).
