A small reflection on unparalelled Wii sales

Bjorn Larsson — Wed, 20 Jan 2010 18:04:29 +0000

Aside from social gaming (viral gaming?) taking off en masse towards the end of 2009, the other big industry thing for me was that Nintendo sold 3.8 million Wii’s in North America in December alone (not counting Europe or Japan), that’s the highest console sales in a month – EVER – on record! In comparison, 2.7 million PlayStation 2’s were sold in December 2002, the previous largest month (on record) for a stationary console. Apparently, the Wii craze is far from over, and unsurprisingly, motion controls are here to stay. Awesomeness in a jar!

Hopefully even more people will connect their Wii’s to the Internet and try out the rather spiffy WiiWare service, as you might know, the first Pearl Harbor Trilogy game (which we’re calling Red Sun Rising) is planned for release in North America this spring. We could use some more fans to help make the game a success, there’s a Facebook button at the bottom of the official website, so feel free to enlist!

Happy New Year!

Porthos is the chubby hero of our platform adventure The Three Musketeers. If you’re feeling a little creative over Christmas, now you can fold your own Porthos paperdoll! Up and coming graphic designer Bryan Green from New York created the paper foldable for us (Bryan has also created dolls for Street Fighter and Fable, you see, he’s really good at that!).

Spooky Spirits: Puzzle Drop!! offers a unique twist on the classic falling block and “match-2” gameplay format. In the game, players build and expand stacks of Spookies in any direction and in any amount.

Features:

In the Panic Mode, players must clear each level by catching an appropriate amount of Spookies before the screen overfills.
Puzzle Mode is a relaxed mode with no stress – players must outsmart the Spookies’ clever puzzles and beat them in their own game using only a limited number of blocks.
Eternity Mode is a Tetris-inspired exhaust mode that just keeps going for as long as players can keep it at or reach the max-score of 9,999,999 points (that’s A LOT of Spookies to catch!).
Swipe the screen to control the game, left and right selects blocks, up swaps them and down drops them!

Search “spooky spirits” on the AppStore to download and try the Lite version now! The full game is on sale for $1.99 (£1.19 or €1.59).
