Data from Japan suggested that Super Mario Maker for 3DS sold about 150,000 copies in its first week in Japan. Dengeki now shares a bit of extra data about its performance.

Super Mario Maker for 3DS reportedly sold through 50 percent of its initial shipment. While that may seem low, it did manage to outdo the Wii U version’s first week sales of 137,000 copies.

Most of you are probably familiar with Pokemon Generations – the webseries has been running on Youtube for a while now, and there are only four episodes left. But did you know that Pokemon Generations wasn’t available in Japanese until today? Despite being obviously produced in Japan, the episodes were only uploaded to The Pokemon Company’s various international Youtube channels in a variety of languages, but never to their Japanese channel. That changed today, however, as the first six episodes are now available in Japanese. You can check them out on the Japanese Pokemon Youtube channel here.
