Story of Seasons has sold over 100,000 copies in North America, XSEED Games has announced. It’s the company’s fastest-selling title. It beat out Rune Factory 4 for the latter record, which has gone on to sell more than 160,000 copies in North America.
“We are truly humbled by the outpouring of support for Story of Seasons,” XSEED Games executive vice president Ken Berry said. “We hope to give back to our fans by continuing the magic of Story of Seasons with the recently announced Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale, which features a heartwarming story based on the Japanese PopoloCrois Story manga series alongside the tried-and-true farming and life simulation elements of Story of Seasons.”
Story of Seasons has seen just under four months of sales. XSEED published the title in North America on March 31.

Nintendo’s Bill Trinen no longer appears to be playing in EVO 2015’s upcoming Super Smash Bros. for Wii U tournament. Writing on Twitter, Trinen explained that he has “had a change of plans after the news this week” – almost certainly a reference to the passing of Satoru Iwata.
While Trinen won’t be participating in the Smash Bros. Wii U tournament, he will still “be watching and cheering from afar.” Perhaps next year will allow for his entry at the event.
@GameplayDev @evo2k Unfortunately I have had a change of plans after the news this week, but I will be watching and cheering from afar.

3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2 is heading to the Japanese 3DS eShop on July 22. We already heard that the game supports local co-op, and now some information has surfaced about a new mode.
SEGA and M2 have added the “Ring Keep” mode to 3D Sonic the Hedgehog 2. This has players starting a stage with 10 rings, though that amount is halved each time you take damage. It’s a small but nice addition for those looking for an extra challenge!
