In a leak from this month’s issue of CoroCoro, we found out about three new characters in Pokken Tournament. We now know that Braixen, Garchomp, and standard Mewtwo are joining the roster. That’s not all though. The game’s website just updated, revealing Chandelure as another addition.

It’ll be a little while before we get a proper look at Chandelure. A trailer for the character will debut at Tokaigi 2016 on January 31.

From a Nintendo perspective, there’s not too much to report on from the latest NPD sales. Wii U and 3DS games were completely absent from the December chart as well as overall top 10 sales in 2015. However, GamesBeat did manage to obtain an interesting piece of information from analyst Liam Callahan.

Callahan said that Wii U experienced its second-best month “in terms of new physical software unit sales.” The holiday season likely played a big role in that, as well as games such as Super Mario Maker.

Update: No separate post for the top 10 in December. No Wii U/3DS game (including third-parties) made the list unfortunately. Same goes for the full 2015 year top 10.

Super Mario Maker has sold over one million copies in the United States alone, Nintendo has announced. That news comes as part of the December 2015 NPD report, which we should be hearing more about shortly.

Five other Wii U games have also reached Super Mario Maker’s milestone. Mario Kart 8, Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Super Mario 3D World, New Super Mario Bros. U, and Splatoon have all sold more than one million copies in the United States.

Bayonetta 2 has been difficult to find at retailers as of late. Nintendo is remedying the situation with a reprint of sorts, though it might not be what some had expected.

Bayonetta 2 will be available on February 19 as a re-release. Wondering why the price is fairly low? That’s because it’s launching as a standalone game – it looks like Bayonetta 1 is not included.

Here’s the news from Nintendo:
