Wii U hardware sales are now at 10.73 million units. What does that mean? Well, the console has now surpassed the SEGA Dreamcast, which sold 10.6 million units.

Famitsu has revealed that SEGA will pull both Sonic the Hedgehog and Sonic the Hedgehog 2 from the Japanese Wii Virtual Console service tomorrow, October 30th. Again, this is the Wii Virtual Console, not the Wii U Virtual Console (because they aren’t available on the Wii U). If you want to own those two games for your Wii, today is basically your last chance. It is currently not known if the game will become unavailable in other regions as well.
Two new weapons are coming to Splatoon tomorrow. The Luna Blaster Neo and H-3 Nozzlenose D are variations of the Luna Blaster and Nozzlenose weapons, respectively, with different sub weapons and special weapons. The Luna Blaster Neo will come with Splat Bombs and the Bomb Rush special, while the H-3 Nozzlenose D will come with Point Sensors and the Inkzooka.
The weapons will likely be released at the usual times: morning in Japan, the middle of the night in Europe and evening in North America.
Level-5 have published an overview trailer for their upcoming Wii U game Yokai Watch Dance: Just Dance Special Version. Check it out below:
