Rayman Legends sells under 1,500 copies in its first week in Japan
Posted 10 years ago by Brian in News, Wii U | 20 Comments
Rayman Legends was the second best-selling Wii U title in Japan during the week of October 14th. Sadly, that’s not saying much. Dengeki Online reports (via ASCII Media Works) Rayman Legends sold just 1,435 copies in its debut week at retail.
Nintendo published Rayman Legends as a Japanese Wii U exclusive on October 17th. Dengeki’s data period ended on the 20th, so the site’s figure accounts for less than a full week of sales. Still, we can’t help but be disappointed, even though the game’s slow start is far from surprising.

A few grammatical errors spotted in Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies
Posted 10 years ago by Brian in 3DS, News, Random | 5 Comments
Update: Bumped to the front page – two more errors have been found.
Capcom has been known for making some rather strange errors over the years. Perhaps most infamous was the Okami Wii boxart incident, in which the game’s cover sported an IGN logo. We’ve also seen a number of prominent spelling errors like “Resident Evil: Revelaitons” – another boxart situation.
But it doesn’t stop there! Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Dual Destinies has a few errors of its own. At least three have been spotted so far. You can find them all in the gallery above.

Batman: Arkham Origins cuts down on GamePad features, but apparently runs best on Wii U
Posted 10 years ago by Brian in News, Wii U | 10 Comments
Warner Bros. never managed to share any concrete details about the GamePad features implemented for Batman: Arkham Origins’ Wii U release. It wasn’t until players started getting their hands on the title over the past couple of days that we started to learn how Origins takes advantage the controller.
As it turns out, there are fewer GamePad features compared to last year’s Batman release on Wii U, Arkham City. It’s mainly limited to map usage and communications with Alfred. Origins doesn’t support weapon select and leveling up on the GamePad, and the same goes for decryption sequences previously present in Arkham City.
Perhaps the dip in GamePad functionality was worth it, though. Reports relayed through player experiences indicate Batman: Arkham Origins runs the best on Wii U with fewer framerate drops than the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions. There’s also no screen tearing, fewer glitches, and apparently better lighting as well.
Batman: Arkham Origins may not be as fully-featured as Arkham City from a GamePad perspective, but it sounds like it turned out rather well on Wii U. Although you won’t get the multiplayer mode found in the other versions, it’s $10 less, supports off-TV play, and even allows for achievement posts to be distributed through Miiverse.

Little Orbit has announced through an official Facebook page that Young Justice: Legacy has been cancelled for Wii U and Wii.
The decision to pull the plug on both versions was “based on several factors.” For one thing, there were concerns about Young Justice’s quality on Wii U and Wii, not to mention a lack of support from retailers. Little Orbit still intends to ship the 3DS version of Young Justice: Legacy.
The official cancellation notice reads:
