Posted on September 1, 2013 by Jason Nason

Disney Infinity was a big seller in its first week at retail. The top selling platform was the Xbox 360 followed by the Nintendo Wii with 79,472 copies sold on Nintendo’s platform. Between the three versions sold on Nintendo platforms (Wii, Wii U & 3DS) the game sold 128,484 making it a solid first week for Disney’s venture into Skylanders territory.

Across the Pacific another Disney game is still seeing success with the 3DS game Disney Magic Castle: My Happy Life from Namco Bandai sitting in the number two spot after four weeks out in Japan.

Nintendo’s newest big release The Wonderful 101 doesn’t seem to be fairing too well in Japan so far landing in the #13 spot, one spot below Pikmin 3 which has been out for seven weeks. The game has sold 5,765 in the first week. The game hits store shelves in North America in a few weeks.

Take a look at the full rundown below:

No Pokemon Rumble U Figures in Canada

If you’re a Pokémon fan in Canada who just downloaded Pokémon Rumble U and are looking for some of the figures you’re about to be disappointed.

The game, downloadable in the Nintendo Wii U eShop, features a similar collectible feature whereby gamers can purchase toys which can be scanned into the game. The game is the first to make use of the NFC technology built into the Wii U Gamepad. But if you make your way to your local video game retailer, or take a look online at Canadian etailers, you won’t find anything.

Posted on August 1, 2013 by Jason Nason

Wal-Mart in Canada is putting the Nintendo Wii U Basic Bundle on sale this weekend. From August 2nd – August 9th (while quantities last) the console will be on sale for $100 off!

The system regularly retails for $299.00 in Canada at Wal-Mart but beginning tomorrow you can score the Wii U for $199.

I checked into my local Wal-Mart and the store had about a half dozen in stock, though they were all sold out of the deluxe bundle. The black bundle isn’t a part of this sale.
