Monster Hunter 4 sales surpass three million in Japan
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
Monster Hunter 4 has now sold over three million copies in Japan. The game is selling at a rate of roughly 40,000 copies each week.
Famitsu wrote in its latest issue:
“With the tenth anniversary of the franchise approaching, 2014 should be an even more exciting year for MH than ever before. MH4 continues to generate a lot of attention in the market, and we can expect sales to continue going forward. Going into the holiday season, the newly-improved MH4 will likely have even more of a performance to show us.”
I’m assuming the latest news coming from Famitsu is different from Capcom’s announcement last month. The publisher had announced that Monster Hunter 4 shipments had exceeded three million. Famitsu’s article seems to apply to actual sales rather than shipments.

Nintendo is technically 66 years-old today
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 0 comments
Nintendo kind of has two birthdays. The first is when the company was founded – 1889. However, Nintendo Co., Ltd. was established as a publicly traded company on November 20, 1947. That would make the Big N sixty-six years old today.

Details on EnjoyUp’s Wii U games
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
EnjoyUp has several Wii U titles in the works. Studio head Julio Moruno, speaking with Revogamers, shared some details about the upcoming projects.
Abyss may be the simplest of the group. It’s a port of the DSiWare version with new missions and a two-player multiplayer racing mode. The graphics have also been updated, and off-TV play is supported.
We’ve also previously heard about Rock’N Racing Off Road. This is a racing title inspired by Ivan ‘Ironman’ Stewart’s Super Off Road with multiplayer supporting up to five players. Rock’N Racing Off Road offers off-TV play, too. EnjoyUp is also taking advantage of Unity for physics: driving, crashes and collisions.
Lastly, Aguraki is a difficult side-scrolling shooter with bosses, multiplayer options, and online leaderboards. Moruno loves Treasure games, so Aguraki will likely incorporate a similar style.
