● Monster Strike has remarkably shipped one million copies already. This includes digital and download cards. Btw, does anyone have the 3DS version? I’ve played 45 minutes and am REALLY stuck!

● Starsign announced a new eShop game where the aim is to save the solar system by killing aliens. Obviously this means in the form of a 200 yen puzzler. Alien Panic hits the eShop on 13 January.

● Comgnet numbers have it at 810 points with the supply restrained Monster Hunter X with 352 points. Yoke Watch Busters is 96 points combined, Mario & Luigi RPG Paper Mario MIX is at 61 points (same as both Splatoon and Super Mario Maker!), Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer is 57, Rhythm Tengoku The ★ Best + is at 52 and Disney Magic Castle: My Happy Life 2 is 44 points. Gonna be a great week for 3DS hardware and software sales!

● The latest badges to return to Nintendo Badge Arcade saw Darumeshi Sports Store and Box Boy!. Remember there’s two free goes each day until Christmas.

● The debut trailer for My Hero Academia: Battle For All is at https://youtu.be/nkuqBoi5Xo8. Still no release date other than 2016.

● I forgot to update the week-end stock market number for Nintendo Co. Ltd last week but it closed at just 16,775.0. Today is lower still.

● That’s all for now, I’ll add to this post later if any news breaks but expect a pretty quiet news period until the new year!
