A patch for Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire was released earlier this week. Nintendo has now confirmed a second update for the two games, which is due out early next month.

Version 1.2 of Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire addresses a specific issue towards the end of the game. Some players have encountered a problem where the game stops during the ending movie. Once the new update is released, this should no longer be an issue.

A few hours ago, a report from Famitsu revealed that Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire sold more than 1.5 million copies in Japan over the weekend (from Friday through Sunday). We now have a bit of additional news about how the games are performing worldwide.

In a follow-up report from The Pokemon Company, Famitsu reveals that Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire collectively sold 3.04 million copies in North America and Japan. This number indicates that roughly 1.5 million units were sold in North America alone.

Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire have sold 1.535 million copies in Japan, according to a report from Famitsu. That’s an impressive stat based on just three days of sales – November 21 to November 23.

Note that sales of the Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire Double Pack are included in Famitsu’s number. Download sales, however, are not.

Famitsu also reports that 3DS sales came in at 83,129 units last week, up from 51,390 units the previous week.

A Japanese gamer who has been playing through Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire came across an interesting message. After bringing over Kyogre from his original game on Game Boy Advance, he was presented with the certificate above.

Here’s how the translation reads:

Dear player Tetra,

We hereby praise you with this certificate, for your unbreakable friendship and tight-knit bond with Kyogre.

From all members of the Game Freak staff.

The certificate doesn’t have much of an effect in Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, though it’s still thoughtful of Game Freak to consider players from the original games!

Pokemon Omega Ruby and Alpha Sapphire’s first update is now available for download from the 3DS eShop. The update is also available in Europe despite the game not being out there yet, so those looking to pick up the game can pre-load the patch. It should come as no surprise, but no official changelog has been released. We’ll keep you updated if anything surfaces!
