You see that consumer up there? Good luck holding him back from picking up a copy of Deep Silver’s Dead Island. Wait… no that is a zombie, you should probably hit him with that oar ASAP. In all seriousness, Deep Silver has announced quite an accomplishment today for Techland’s Dead Island. The title has officially sold three million copies, this news comes after the news that Dead Island had shipped two million during the first month of release.

It is always good to see titles that aren’t from the more established companies such as EA and Activision selling in the million range, but when the title sells so well that they had to ship out an extra million copies just to meet demand, bravo.

The PlayStation Vita may not be out in the West for a few months, but it has actually been out for a couple of days in Japan. Unfortunately it seems that the PlayStation Vita suffered from a large number of issues that were causing various problems with the system, some making it completely unresponsive. So, what is the best that Sony can do? You betcha… firmware update.

Now the issues that were actually plaguing the system ranged from complete system freezing to touch screens being unresponsive. The firmware was released today and it is expected to fix a number of problems that have already been brought up by consumers. This is still some disheartening news as one would think that Sony would have at least made the effort to make sure their next generation portable would be completely polished and not breaking day one.

We’ve heard plenty about Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance from Japan, but one piece of news has been alluding us all that time. That news of course was whether or not Square Enix would be bringing the Nintendo 3DS title over to Western shores. Thankfully today that news has arrived as Square Enix announced today that they will be releasing Kingdom Hearts 3D [Dream Drop Distance] as they are calling it now, in Europe and North America sometime in 2012.

Dreap Drop Distance marks the opening chapter to the final conflict in Kingdom Hearts, so this could possibly be a prelude to Kingdom Hearts 3, the title everyone has been hoping to hear about for many years. Players will be able to play as both Sora and Riku and enter a number of “Sleeping Worlds” where they will meet new enemies and allies. They will be seeing a number of new worlds, such as The Hunchback of Notre Dame and a few others. Exciting news.

Today Media Factory has released the first promotional video for the upcoming anime adaptation for Medaka Box. This is not the first time that the video has been shown however, as it also was shown to those in attendance at Jump Festa. This is however, the first time we have been able to see the video in full HD quality.

The video itself can be seen below and doesn’t provide much information besides the way the characters will look in this adaptation. The video also gives us a small clue as to how far the anime will take the plot as we are treated to artwork of each of the student council members minus a certain minus known as Kumagawa… so could the anime end before the appearance of Class -13?
