Several new games out came out this week on the Wii U and 3DS eShops. If you’re interested in checking out what’s new in screenshot form, take a peak at the gallery below.
Update (5/1): Pre-orders open at Best Buy.
Pre-orders are now live for Mighty No. 9’s physical version. You can reserve the game on Amazon here
or GameStop here. Note that there is not a 3DS option at present, which makes sense given how the portable versions are arriving later.
It’s also worth mentioning that Amazon and GameStop are listing the same price point. Mighty No. 9’s physical release appears to be priced at $30.
Nintendo updated the Japanese 3DS app Collectible Badge Center with new Pikmin unlockables. You can get a look at them in the video below.
This week’s episode of Nintendo Minute kicks off a month-long focus on Splatoon. The latest video, which features Nintendo’s new art contest, is posted below.
Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains will launch in North America on May 12, Atlus announced today. It will be sold via the eShop for $39.99.
Unfortunately, Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains has been delayed in Europe due to a copyright claim. The game will also be called “Shingeki no Kyojin: Humanity in Chains” throughout the continent. Atlus hopes to have updated news about the European release date soon.
Lastly, those who purchase Attack on Titan: Humanity in Chains or Shingeki no Kyojin: Humanity in Chains will receive a unique Attack on Titan 3DS theme for free.
View a new trailer for the game below.

Capcom brought out the Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate Hunter’s Weapon Gallery theme for 3DS in North America today as a free download. You can find some footage of it below.
Based on Media Create data, Bravely Second sold 100,000 copies in its first week. How does that stack up to the first game?
Bravely Default: Flying Fairy ended up selling 142,000 copies in its first week. It also had a higher sell-through rate of 85.68 percent compared to Bravely Second’s 53.53 percent.
Media Create points out that Bravely Second is a direct sequel, so buyers were pretty much limited to those who tried out the original game, and it doesn’t look like it managed to attract the same amount of players. It’ll be interesting to see how Bravely Second sells during Golden Week.
