Nintendo released official videos for Yoshi Touch & Go and Shining Force: Resurrection of the Dark Dragon on the Japanese Wii U Virtual Console. Watch them below.

Marvelous published a new trailer for Story of Seasons: Good Friends of Three Villages today, which you can check out below. The trailer gives a good overview of the game’s various aspects – farming, raising animals, forming relationships with other characters and so on. The game will be released in Japan on June 23rd; a Western release date has not yet been announced.

Thanks to V Jump, we have more footage from My Hero Academia: Battle for All. You’ll find plenty of gameplay in the video below.

New footage from Etrian Odyssey V was recently shown during a SEGA live stream. The recording has since gone online – see below.

CoroCoro has two more gameplay videos for Puzzle & Dragons X. Both shows a few different elements – notably co-op, Soul Armor, and Grand Bosses. Check out the latest gameplay below.

Bandai Namco has come out with another Hero Academia: Battle for All character trailer. Check out a video for All Might below.

After the Culdcept Revolt Direct earlier this week, a “Start Dash Version” was released in Japan via the eShop. View some footage of the demo below.

Splatoon has sold very well in all regions, but its performance in Japan is particularly impressive. The game is actually the most-successful IP console launch since the Wii series of games (Wii Sports, etc.).

Splatoon is sitting at around 1,357,000 copies sold in Japan. Wii U itself has moved around 3,165,000 units. By the time Wii U is phased out, the tie-in ratio could end up at 50 percent.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.
