On Thursday, a presentation will be held on Niconico for the new Fatal Frame Wii U game and related media efforts such as the upcoming movie. The event seems to be rather significant – as one would expect – given some of the guests attending.
Perhaps mostly importantly, Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto will be showing up for this week’s presentation. Other guests include staff from Kadokawa and Koei Tecmo, Keisuke Kikuchi (Fatal Frame series), Shin Kibayashi (the author of the manga), Mari Asato (movie director), Nakajo Ayami (actress) and Aoi Morikawa (actress).
Peter Warman, CEO of video game research firm Newzoo, shared an overview of Sonic’s lifetime sales in different territories with Fortune.
The Blue Blur is most popular in the United States, which is where about half of the total sales have originated from. Europe makes up another 35 percent, with the remaining 15 percent of sales stemming from other countries like Japan.
As stated by Warman:
Dahku Creations has announced its second title for the Wii U eShop titled “Soon Shine”.
Below is an official overview of the game:
Soon Shine tasks players with fighting off hoards of spirits hungering for the energy of the sun and moon. The game is played entirely on the Wii U GamePad’s touch screen, and combines the single-screen score-racking fun of puzzle classics like Tetris with the quick reflexes and tenacity required of an action game.
At the moment, Soon Shine is under Nintendo review. Dahku Creations hopes to have it out in the Americas mid-August. Pricing will be set at $1.99.

It was 31 years ago that Nintendo released the Famicom in Japan. The system launched on July 15, 1983. Of course, in other parts of the world, the Famicom is known as the NES (Nintendo Entertainment System).
On 3DS, Dragon Quest X uses streaming technology to run the game. It turns out that this version is built with Ubitus GameCloud middleware similar to the Android version from NTT DoCoMo.
Ubitus CEO Ubitus Wesley Kuo said of the news:
“Ubitus is thrilled to bring the national flagship title from Square Enix to Nintendo’s bestselling Nintendo 3DS portable gaming console through our GameCloud technology. We are committed to provide best technology to enable gaming platform providers to offer best seamless and enjoyable gaming experience over the cloud.”
