Wii U version still a secret
Square Enix will release its online RPG Dragon Quest X in Japan this August.
Blocks, fighting and Chuck E. Cheese
Virtual Console returns to Wii this week with a fighting classic, plus there's some original 3DS Download Software and DSiWare too. Here's what you can look forward to downloading later today.
DS top of the pile
Nintendo's released updated sales figures for all its consoles, and it's certainly a lot of numbers.
On the way
Nintendo is sticking to its plan of putting full retail games on its digital storefronts, but hasn't given any further information of when the switch might occur.
The power of two
Nintendo expects to sell as many as 10.5 million Wii U consoles in the machine's first financial year.
Nintendo wants that number doubled
Since its Japanese release on 26th February 2011, Nintendo has sold 17.13 million 3DS consoles around the world, a number it wants to beat in the next financial year.
But lower than expected
Nintendo made a 43 billion Yen net loss in the past financial year. A straight currency conversion puts the loss at $529m USD or £327m GBP.
Once more, to arms
Nintendo's sales, marketing and distribution teams are getting a good run-out with third-party support on 3DS, having already lent their support to Resident Evil Revelations, Super Street Fighter IV: 3D Edition, Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D and more. The platform-holder's just signed a similar deal with Square Enix to promote and distribute Heroes of Ruin across Europe.
Mario Kart on the podium
Trade and industry magazine MCV has posted a top ten of the biggest-selling single SKUs of all time, and Nintendo's on top.
