Le Journal des Loisirs Interactifs is reporting that Nintendo has sold more than 450,000 amiibo in France. That number accounts for all figures moved since launch last November. The last number we heard about was in January, when Nintendo said it had sold over 200,000 amiibo in France.
The retail version of Devil’s Third is seeing a limited release in Japan. As it turns out, Wii U owners will only be able to purchase the packaged edition on Amazon Japan. The eShop is an option for those who wish to buy the game digitally.

OlliOlli recently received a patch on 3DS. Now the same can be said of the Wii U version.
Curve Digital has created an update for the 3DS version of OlliOlli, which addresses a few bugs and improves stability. The download should clock in at roughly 40 MB.
KnapNok Games and Nifflas Games have announced the development of a new patch slated for summer. It will introduce five “extremely difficult levels” that “have been designed to take advantage of every single feature of the Small Craft, including some that players might not even be aware existed.”
Along with new levels, the upcoming update will also address a number of issues reported by players, including bug fixes.
Discussing today’s news KnapNok Games’ Lau Korsgaard also revealed plans for paid DLC. He said:
We had lots of ideas for very tricky puzzles that we couldn’t find room for in the final release of the game. We hope the community will take on the challenge of these new levels. Besides this free update, we still have lots of other plans for Affordable Space Adventures. In the future, we want to release a more substantial update as paid DLC that will expand the universe of Affordable Space Adventures and tell another chapter of the Uexplore story”.

Nintendo of Europe shared more details about Devil’s Third in an announcement shared today. The “wild, larger-than-life military thriller” will offer “intense single-player and multiplayer third-person action that blends modern military weaponry with brutal melee combat.”
First, below is an overview of the single-player campaign:
At the heart of the single-player campaign is Ivan, a former mercenary let loose from his incarceration to right the wrongs of his past and take down a shadowy terrorist group he once belonged to. With the world’s satellites and electrical weaponry having been wiped out, and warfare once again reduced to close combat between soldiers, Ivan must use a colourful array of weaponry to shoot, hack and bludgeon his way through any foe standing in the way of his attempt at redemption. With fast-paced combat and bone-crunching finishing moves galore, a day in the life of Ivan is anything but ordinary…
And multiplayer:
The game’s online multiplayer mode, meanwhile, offers up a grim future whereby the terrorists have won, and chaos reigns supreme. As an ordinary citizen, you can join a clan and help reclaim the United States by forming allegiances with other factions, or go all-out as a mercenary and endlessly assault other player’s bases, opting for anarchy over clan diplomacy! But at the heart of the online play is the ability to customise your base alongside other members of your clan, with successful battling resulting in rewards that can be used to improve your defences. With constant assaults from other clans, you’ll have to be on your toes to defend your territory.
Another important note: for the European release, Devil’s Third will be available only with English voiceover, with choice of English or French on-screen text.
