woohoo

Media Create sales figures for this week have finally been released, showing that the Wii U has finally reached the 1 million mark for sales in Japan. For comparison, the Wii U reached this number in only 33 weeks, while the PlayStation 3 took 38 weeks to achieve this sales figure when it was released.
Even though the PlayStation 3 launched with a high price point, the Wii U doesn’t seem to be faring as bad in Japan as it is in the rest of the world, especially Europe.

Super Smash Bros. Brawl, the last entry for the series, featured a campaign called The Subspace Emissary. It was basically a crack fic on steroids, throwing the varied roster into a single narrative. The story wasn't exactly high art, but it was a decent enough excuse to create insane team ups of classic characters (and the Ice Climbers), both in gameplay and cutscene form.

If you enjoyed those cutscenes, well, too bad. They're not coming back because of... uh, the internet.

Series creator Masahiro Sakurai recently shared his disappointment that the cutscenes were uploaded to the internet. In a regular column on Weekly Famitsu (translated by Kotaku), he explained why he won't be including them in the series' next entry.

"I felt if players saw the cutscenes outside of the game, they would no longer serve as rewards for playing the game, so I've decided against having them," Sakurai wrote. Instead, characters will get intro sequences similar to what we saw at E3 with the introduction of Mega Man, Animal Crossing's Villager and the Wii Fit Trainer.

More like Super Smash Bros. Bawl.

Nintendo's relationship with the internet isn't exactly stellar (cough cough), and here is yet another bump in the road. It seems absolutely silly to remove cutscenes, of all things, just because they end up on the internet. I mean, everything ends up on the internet. You wouldn't remove the game's score just because people might listen to it "out of context" online, right? Right?

...You know, I'm going to stop talking before I give them any more ideas.
