● Cube Creator 3D is now the eighth best selling Japanese 3DS eShop game of all time overtaking Super Mario Bros. to the eighth position. Pokémon Battle Trozei is the next game to beat. Arc System Works haven’t published any sales figures yet but I estimate around 250,000.
● Pocket Monsters Yellow Version has also overtaken Bike Rider DX2: Galaxy as the eighteenth best selling 3DS eShop game. Sales will be over 150,000 but Nintendo haven’t released an exact number.
● Two amiibo diorama kits are releasing on 28 April priced at ¥864 each with both Hoshi no Kirby (whose amiibo release that day) and Super Smash Bros. The Kirby diorama will also be available with the Kirby (one character) amiibo for ¥2,160.

Actually I do;-(. But until we get an official Minecraft (never?) or a popular franchise alternative (ever?), look out for Big John Games’ Cube Creator 3D which is to be localised next week by Arc System Works for ¥800. An added survival mode is playable in addition to the standard cube creating. Demo now available and Japanese trailer below…
