In Italy (or, at least, near Milan) I really can't find Classic Controllers, Nunchuks and Wii Points Cards. I'm just curious... What's the situation in Japan? Can you check for controllers and stuff? Thanks :)

I believe Vinnk has noted sometime in the past that it is easy to find classic controller & Nunchuks. No idea about the Wii Points.

Vinnk, I second the Wii points Cards request (since I heard that it is also not readily available in US).

Very easy to find that stuff. Some convienence stores even sell points.

As for Dragon Quest:Swords, I stopped at two stores after work today. Both were sold out. Sales might be low this week not because of lack or interest, but rather,lack of stock.

Damn.

Anyone how this will affect the eventual LTD of the game? Will the demand be hampered somewhat because of lack of supply or will it bounce back next week once the new shipments come in?

Thanks for the mini-reports, btw.

In Modena there's plenty of them. We don't get NRU early, but we get accessories aplenty. :lol

To be fair we shouldn't count the 2 highest selling titles for PS3...

This is going to be interesting, if Nintendo can distract people from buying a PS3 this week, Sony's biggest week since Gundam, then it's game over for PS3 this year, I still seeing PS3 at 50k next week, (As per my previous estimations), but Nintendo don't want them even doing that, evil gits.

Jesus Christ, just when PS3 has a potentially LanceStern success game :D, Nintendo fires back with a more then decent lineup. Game Over.

Could somebody, preferably residing in Japan, please list all the Training and software type games internally developed by Nintendo.

I tried looking on the interenet, but all the EAD lists are not finished, and half the games are not released outside of Japan, so the website haven't bothered to list them.

As far as I know:

Brain Training
Big Brain Academy
More Brain Training
English Training
More English Training
General Knowledge Trainging (Common Sense)
Cooking Navigator (not sure if EAD, but there seems to have been many iterations)

Now there are a few dictionaries, and Kanji training, but again, I'm not sure if they are EAD or not. And which ones are 3rd party.

Then there's :-

Observation Training (Flash Focus....., again not sure if EAD)
My Housekeeping Diary (this seems to be synSophia, 3rd party)

A definitive list of Internally developed, EAD training games and software please. And maybe another with Nintendo published, but not developed as well.

Thanks to all contributers.

not bad for jikkyou powerful pro baseball Wii regarding the difference between the PS2 and Wii's installed base

DQS will reach easily 500 000 which is very good for this spinn off

Zelda leg's are just amazing !!!!

DS is unstoppable

Isn't it a huge drop for the PSP? maybe due to the announcement of a "lite" version

That was rather early. Thanks. Huge DQS supply problems. It should have done over 100K at the very least.

And indeed, the 8:2 difference didn't quite hold up for the week. Nintendo type market legs showing itself(always sells better on the weekend)?

Interesting week it seems. DQS doesn't seem near as good as I had hoped for. Zelda seems to have a big drop this week and if the 4:1 figure for Jikkyou was true, then the Wii-version have caught pretty well up already.

Not bad DQS numbers considering its most likely supply constrained.

Interesting to note that Jikkyou PS2 to Wii ratio was 8:1 for first day sales, by weeks end its now 3:1. Wii has the advantage when it comes to legs. How long are the legs? We will see.

Two 3rd party Wii games in the top 5!

Decent numbers for Jikkyou Powerful Pro Baseball 14 on Wii, it could pass 100K. As supplies of DQS ease it'll be interesting to see how much it continues to sell. I expect 500-600K should happen relatively easily.

Zelda continues to have good legs, which is great to see.

Nintendo has two major internal divisions within its Kyoto headquarters:

Entertainment Analysis and Development (EAD), 5 divisions:
EAD 1 - Hideki Konno (Nintendogs, Mario Kart DS)
EAD 2 - Katsuya Eguchi (Animal Crossing Wild World, Wii Sports, Wii Play)
EAD 3 - Eiji Aonuma (Zelda: Twilight Princess, Zelda: Phantom Hourglass)
EAD 4 - Hiroyuki Kimura (Yoshi Touch & Go, New Super Mario Bros., Big Brain Academy)
EAD 5 - Takao Shimizu (Donkey Kong Jungle Beat, Super Mario Galaxy)

Software Planning and Development (SPD), 4 divisions:
SPD 1 - Yoshio Sakamoto (Metroid Fusion, Rhythm Tengoku, WarioWare Smooth Moves)
SPD 2 - Hitoshi Yamagami (Dr. Mario, Super Princess Peach, Tetris DS)
SPD 3 - Kensuke Tanabe (co-developments with other internal teams and 3rd parties, e.g. Metroid Prime, Battalion Wars)
SPD 4 - Shinya Takakashi (Brain Training, English Training, Kanji Training, Band Bros.)

However, there is some inter-changeability with these teams, with staff forming new teams for specific projects.

Adult Face Training is co-developed by Intelligent Systems, and comes with a camera, it's not out yet, due for release next week, Aug 2nd:

DQS first shipment was going to be 250k but in the end, it became 350k (f*cking my prediction in the process). So hey...SE just has to stalk Nintendo for a quick second shipment.

Other numbers this week:
NDS Naruto 5 - 30k (going some little more down than last one, which was quite down from the first three titles)
NDS Mushiking - 30k
NDS That Detective game - 20k
Wii Momotaro Densetsu 16 - 10k (uh, that Hudson rep was really right about demand being irregular)
PS2 Nodame Cantabile (and another game 'Boy something') - 4k
PS2 Monster Hunter 2 The Best! - 5k
PS2 Ultraman 3 - 3k
PS2 Basara Double Pack - 3k
