We found out via today’s European Nintendo Downloads that Squids Odyssey is the first cross-buy title on Nintendo platforms. If you buy the game on 3DS later this week, you’ll also get the Wii U version free.
Unfortunately, it turns out that this offer only applies to Europe at the moment. The Game Bakers’ Emeric Thoa explained:
“We are very excited by this promotion as it’s the first time this happens – as far as I know. It’s a proof that Nintendo is making efforts in giving more control to the developer on its pricing and promotions. I’m glad that our players will be able to play on 3DS and WiiU for the price of one game. It’s a shame that it’s only in Europe yet but hopefully this cross buy operation will be appreciated and the technical contraints that prevented it to happen in the US will be fixed.”
Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal World Duel Carnival launched in Europe just a few days ago. Now that the western version is out, we’re hearing that Konami dropped a whole bunch of content.
For the English release, the device and database modes have been removed. There are additionally no duelist profiles, photos, ending pictures, and you can’t play music when you wish.
The Japanese version of Yu-Gi-Oh! Zexal World Duel Carnival features 40 playable characters. In the localized edition, there are only 12:
– Yuma
– Astral
– ZEXAL
– Tori
– Reginald
– Kite
– Dr. Faker
– Vetrix
– Trey
– Quattro
– Alito
– Konami-kun (aka Hat Guy)
Finally, all mats and sleeves are automatically unlocked in the game from the get go.
Last week, we heard that Shigeru Miyamoto would be attending the Japan Expo in France. Those plans have sadly since been scrapped.
Nintendo of France announced on Twitter that Miyamoto won’t be at the expo for person reasons. Specifically, his absence is due to the health of his father.
We regret to announce that Mr Miyamoto will not present at Japan Expo for personal reasons related to the health of his father.
This week’s UK software sales are as follows:
