OMG the Professor Layton vs Ace Attorney drop! I'm devastated, this game is so fabulous... Another victim of the nintendo monopoly on 3DS. But it's not that bad because it means that the franchises will come to Vita in the future.

The WiiU launch is interesting, because nearly all the games bombed. Only the awaited big sellers achieved decent numbers : WiiU is in for a big drop next week. The TecmoKoei games were very weak in particular despite the numerous bonuses of the WiiU versions : I hope it will teach those publishers not to betray their existing PS3 fanbase.

Bayonetta 2 all over again? :)

No, totally different! Ninja Gaiden 3 and Orochi Warriors 3 were originally PS3/360 games, but TecmoKoei is totally ignoring and mocking the existing PS3/360 fanbase by cramming all this extra content in WiiU versions nobody's buying. They won't get away with this!

They won't get away with this?  What, are you going to call the cops or something?

well no... but they must be regretting their treachery already because their WiiU versions bombed and their image to PS3/360 owners is damaged

LOL no, only the over sensitive ones like you. I still giggle remembering your Bayonetta 2 rants ^_^

On their social networks there are quite some people asking for the bonus content to be made available on PS3.

Amazon has never had stock of the Wii U.  Has something to do with a dispute between Amazon and Nintendo.  At least that's what I've heard the reason is.

@OP

Pretty good launch numbers for the Wii U.  Now, we just have to wait and and see if they will hold.  Also, seems kinda strange that the 360 isn't getting any boost at all from the holidays.  Last year, the 360 was at ~3K for the corresponding week, which was up ~1.4K from the previous week.  This year it's actually down by 100 units from last week.  The 360 was always a niche product in Japan, but it seems like even the samll support it got is dying away.

That's only in the US as far as I know. Amazon Japan sells all Nintendo hardware; DS, Wii, 3ds and the Wii U.

Oh, ok.  I figured it was Amazon as a whole.  Kinda weird how Amazon Japan can have a good relationship with NOJ, but Amazon America and NOA are at odds with each other.  Wonder what the cause of it all is.

Had something to do with the 3DS.   Amazon US claimed the original 3DS was defective and Nintendo of America refused to buy back the inventory.  Amazone then dropped all Nintendo hardware.  Been that way ever since.

The 'defect' Amazon claimed was the little streaks that can show up on the top screen because of the raised bevel surrounding the bottom screen.

that custom 3DS is amazing, especially the back.


Yeah, I really like how it looks. I told my girlfriend about it and she's like "it just has the map on it..." I like my white 3ds LL, but this one looks nice. I've never played a SRT game before, but it looks similar to the SD Gundam Generation games I have and I like the custom design.

Also wow, at Run for Money shipments. Hitting 400k after starting out with a very low first week. There's also two back to back 2hr specials according to the page, on 1/6 and 1/13. Sales usually increase for that game when they have a special for the show.

Agreed on that custom 3DS. Very sexy.
