In terms of specific sales, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate has sold 2.7 million copies in Japan thus far. Capcom was vague regarding the performance of Gaist Crusher God, only noting that sales “were below expectations”.
New details regarding Splatoon have come out of this week’s issue of Famitsu. You’ll find the information in the summary below (thanks StreetsAhead):
-Team made up of lots of staff that worked on Wii U launch titles. Once they’d grasped the hardware, they wanted to create something innovative.
-Working on a local multiplayer mode in addition to online and Hero Mode
-Hero mode is predominantly a 3D platformer with heavy emphasis on human-squid transformations
-Random matching is done world wide, game tries to place you with players close to your skill level based on ratings
-Tried implementing a system whereby you could give orders to your team mates, but battles were too quick and hectic for them to be effective so they got rid of the feature
-Game won’t use CPU fighters; only once 8 human players have been found will a match start
-Having multiple modes with random matching would limit the number of players per mode, so all the focus is on the 4 vs. 4 for that
-No communication with players you are matched with
-They didn’t think of using Bloopers when they decided on squids (they apparently forgot they existed)
-No money can be earned in Hero Mode. Your points, as displayed at the end of the match, are turned into money and experience points.
-A lot of the music is written by Tooru Minegishi (who has worked on Zelda, Animal Crossing, and Super Mario)
Pringo Dingo is bringing its action party title “Paparazzi” to the Wii U eShop next week. The game’s listing on Nintendo.com features a February 10 release date and $4.99 price point.

Celebrity and paparazzi go head-to-head in this 2-player action/party game.
The paparazzi must snap quick pictures of the celebrity, while the celebrities tries to escape the limo with their dignity. Each level is a tug of war between the paparazzi’s money and the celebrity’s dignity.
The game includes 6 unique levels, including a movie studio backlot, a night club, and a high-class ball. The celebrity can play as one of 7 silly characters, anywhere from a mulleted movie star to a bear on a tricycle.
