Arc System Works has announced its latest title for the Japanese Wii U eShop, Tank SP. It seems to be fairly similar to the 3DS eShop title Tank 3D, but with extra elements like a two-player split-screen mode. The game will launch on July 30 for 800 yen.

This week’s Famitsu review scores are as follows:

Enkeltbillet (PSP) – 8/8/8/7
SoniPro (3DS) – 7/8/8/7
Happiness Charge PreCure! Kawa-Run * Collection (3DS) – 7/8/7/6
Majoou (PSP) – 7/8/7/6
Fate/Kaleid Liner: Prisma Illya (3DS) – 4/6/4/4
Daisenryaku: Dai Toua Kouboushi – Dainijisekaitaisen Boppatsu – Suujiku Sentai Rengougun Zensekaisen (PSP) – 5/6/5/5

Pig Medal was released on the Japanese eShop as part of the SUICA promotion. For every 100 yen you spend on the eShop with your SUICA card, you get 30 coins to use as in-game.

Youkai Watch 2 launched in Japan on July 10th and managed to sell 1.3 million copies during the first few days of availability. Incredibly, Media Create reveals that the “Honke” version sold through 95.53 percent of its initial shipment while the “Ganso” version experienced an 88.77 percent sell-through rate.

Essentially, people really want to play Youkai Watch 2. And even though Level-5 pushed out well over a million copies for the game’s launch, that wasn’t nearly enough to satiate demand.
