Disney Infinity Fans

Played for a few hours this weekend. Very interesting game. Managed to grab the boy and girl amiibo but I'm hesitant to unbox them. I'll dig a bit to see what that actually do in the game.

I believe Nintendo missed another good opportunity to plaster walls with their new IP. The amiibos look very good.

Wii U - Splatoon: Claim Your Turf!

Update: One of the highest sell-through rates for any game – Splatoon sold through 97% of its initial shipment in Japan, related amiibo sell 106,000 units

Update: Bumped to the top. Also wanted to throw in that Splatoon has seen one of the highest sell-through rates for any game in Japan. There could be more, but we’re only aware of two titles with a sell-through rate of 97 percent. Those are Pokemon Diamond (97.12 percent) and Gundam True Odyssey (97.2 percent). Splatoon outperformed both of these titles.

During its first week in Japan, Splatoon sold 145,000 copies. Media Create has now shared a follow-up report on the game’s sales as well as related amiibo.

In terms of the best opening weeks on Wii U, Splatoon is only behind the Mario series and Super Smash Bros. Media Create points out that this is a favorable start for a brand new title.

We previously heard earlier in the week that the game was selling through roughly 90 percent of its stock. However, Media Create reveals that the percentage actually finished at 97.33 percent, with a lot of stores being sold out since release date.

Even though Splatoon is a game of a genre with a limited userbase, Media Create states that a large investment in commercial marketing and hands-on experience let the userbase expand and become a major hit. Additionally, along with this title, sales of the Wii U itself increased by 232.73 percent. Sales are expected to continue thanks to the appeal to new users.

That’s not all from Media Create. According to the sales tracker, the Splatoon amiibo sold 106,000 units (note: 3-packs are counted as 3 figures for a total number of figures, meaning just over 35,000 of each including packs and singles). That figure also comes with a sell-through rate of no less than 90 percent. There is demand where supply has not caught up to due to this.

So all in all, Splatoon is off to an absolutely fantastic start in Japan. Nintendo really couldn’t have hoped for anything better!

Wii U - Splatoon Mess Fest Action Highlights

A new stage, Kelp Dome, will be added to Splatoon today at 7 PM PT! Viewed from above, this stage takes the shape of a nearly perfect square. You can either make your way to the center by circling around the perimeter of the dome, or you can take the high road on the grated catwalks to get straight into the action. The boundaries of the dome and the inner, maze-like structure of the facility are covered in ink-resistant glass.

Nintendo is really keeping their promise! Content keeps flowing. I hope they keep it up for a while.

We just found out that Splatoon has sold ONE MILLION units worldwide!

Thanks to you all!

I'm finally picking up Splatoon on Friday!

I just got splatoon and...

The game is just fan-flipping-tactic!
