Cube Creator 3D’s previous milestone was 125,000 downloads for the demo. That number was reached last month.
Another block size is in for a downloadable 3DS eShop game. Titan Attacks!, from Curve Studios and Puppy Games, requires 244 blocks of space. Titan Attacks! will be out this Thursday in North America and Europe.
It’s now confirmed that Zombie Incident takes up 203 blocks of space. The game is launching in Europe this Thursday, and in North America soon. Look for it on the 3DS eShop.
A number of New 3DS cover plates are coming to Europe on April 2, Nintendo announced today.
The lineup is made up of eight faceplates in total. There are designs for Pikachu, Kirby, and more. Each one is due out on April 2.
Nintendo wrote on Twitter today:

The world in Xenoblade Chronicles X is huge. However, there are several ways that navigation can be made easier in the game.
We’ve already seen elements like the Hopper Camera and Navigation Ball. On the Xenoblade Chronicles X Twitter account, director Koh Kojima mentioned that there’s also an auto-run feature as well as skip travel.
He said:
It appears that the Hopper Camera and Navigation Ball have been well received. For straight movement, there’s an auto-run feature and of course, there’s also the skip travel. As a developer, however, I feel conflicted because I want you to travel leisurely and enjoy the various views and the enemy placement…This is a tricky point, isn’t it.
This information comes from Nintendo UK’s director of marketing Shelly Pearce:
“We’re really pleased with how Majora’s Mask 3D and Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate have performed. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate has significantly outperformed its predecessor and The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D has debuted at the top spot in the individual format chart. We’ve also seen a strong start for the New 3DS and we’re looking forward to building this momentum.”
MCV notes that the launch of New 3DS caused the UK hardware market to rise 57 per cent week-on-week.
