-Pokémon Dream Radar
Nintendo has confirmed that two Pokémon eShop games, previously shown off at the latest Nintendo Direct, will be coming to the American eShop this fall. First of all, we've got Pokémon Dream Radar which allows you to use the 3DS' gyroscope, camera, and Augmented Reality capabilities to catch Pokémon in the real world. The game will allow you to transfer the Pokémon you caught to Pokémon Black 2/Pokémon White 2.
-Pokédex 3D Pro
The second of the two games is an extension to the app that launched free with the eShop, Pokédex 3D. Among improvements to the original, the extension, called Pokédex 3D Pro, will give you access to data of all 649 Pokémon. The aforementioned improvements include improved AR capabilities, a comparison and ranking system, and "in-depth" sorting.
Coming to North America 06/10/12
Those waiting for Pikmin 3 on the Wii U will have a bit of water to quench their thirst by the time June 10th comes. The Wii version of Pikmin 2, which is being marketed as a Nintendo Select, will release on said date for a MSRP of $19.99. Mario Power Tennis will also become a Nintendo Select title in June, and Super Smash Bros. Brawl and Donkey Kong Country Returns will drop to a suggested price of $29.99.

Nintendo has dominated the video game market in Japan for quite some time now, but Nintendo absolutely dominated in sales last week. Japanese firm, Media Create, gathers weekly sales in Japan every week. The following stats cover from April 30th through May 6th (thanks to
Andriasang for the translation).
Hardware Sales:1.) Nintendo 3DS - 91,868
2.) PlayStation 3 - 23,478
3.) PlayStation Portable - 20,033
4.) Nintendo Wii - 15,789
5.) PlayStation Vita - 10,583
6.) Microsoft Xbox 360 - 1,420
As you can see, the 3DS outsold the Vita about 9:1 and sold almost four times as much as its nearest competitor, the PlayStation 3. The Vita continues to be outsold by its predecessor, the PSP.
Software Sales: *Total overall sales in parenthesis.

The 3DS has an amazing eleven games on this list and the Wii has four. The next nearest competition was the PSP which had 3 games listed. The Vita has none in the top 20 but all Vita games are available digitally, and Media Create doesn't use those numbers.
The DSi and the DSi XL will be getting price drops in the near future. The DSi will go down from $149.99 to $99.99, and the DSi XL will go from $169.99 to $129.99. Both of these price drops will come into effect on May 20th, the same day Mario Tennis open and the Midnight Purple 3DS release.
Those impressed with the 3DS hit, Kid Icarus: Uprising, may have to wait for a sequel. During an e-mail interview with
IGN, creator, Masahiro Sakurai, denied that a sequel to Uprising will be coming anytime soon. When asked if his development team was willing to create other projects based on Uprising's lasting universe, Sakurai replied, “If by ‘lasting universe’ you mean to ask if there's a sequel, the answer is no.... because we pushed a lot into the game in order to let people have this short yet deep experience, but the novelty of that would likely grow thin in the next game. For now, my thought is that perhaps we'll see someone else besides me make another Kid Icarus in another 25 years."
