First week sales for Disgaea 5 Complete, I Am Setsuna in Japan

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch | 52 Comments

Some third-party Switch games are off to pretty decent starts in Japan. On the other end of the spectrum, Disgaea 5 Complete and I Am Setsuna have started off slowly.

It was a bit worrying when both titles missed Media Create’s initial software chart for the week of February 27. When the expanded chart came in, we saw that I Am Setsuna and Disgaea 5 Complete were positioned at the 22nd and 26th spots respectively.

Level-5 CEO talks Lady Layton

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments

Even though Lady Layton was announced last July, we haven’t heard much about it since then. Famitsu catches up with Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino for an update of sorts this week.

Famitsu starts off by asking what parts are new compared to past entries. Hino points out that the protagonist has changed from Professor Layton to his daughter, Katrielle. Because of that, this game will have a female touch while keeping the series’ atmosphere intact. Hino hope the game will show a brand new side of the franchise.

Special Famitsu artwork celebrating The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in Images, Switch, Wii U | 9 Comments

This week’s issue of Famitsu will obviously have a ton of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild content – but it also has the special artwork you see above, which features the original Link from the first Legend of Zelda game handing over the Master Sword of Resurrection to the current Link from Breath of the Wild. This celebrates the 30-year history of the series as well as the connection between those two games specifically, which have a focus on an open world and a freedom to choose where to go and what to do at any time.
