Kingdom Hearts 3D Surprise Guest and Monster Hunter 4 Trailer

According to Siliconera, Niku (from The World Ends With You) is a NPC in Kingdom Hearts 3D: Dream Drop Distance. This is the first time that a character is neither Final Fantasy, Disney, nor original. However, it still makes sense since The World Ends With You is created by Square Enix. It's nice to see Sora getting to meet new friends from an entirely different universe. [source]

Weekly Finances

According to Reuters: "Nintendo's shares ended 5 percent lower in a strong market." This is due to investors doubting the line-up of games announced. According to Enterbrain, although the price cut the 3DS led to over 200,000 units sold in Japan that week, it quickly fell down to 55,000 units. Even though, Monster Hunter 4 was announced for the 3DS, it did not seem to put any faith in Nintendo investors. In fact, Capcom (publisher of the Monster Hunter series) stocks have dropped 8% since yesterday's announcement. Square Enix also suffered at a drop of 4%.

Side Note: Hey guys, Mr. T here. Tell me if you guys are interested in daily finances (perhaps make it weekly?). Anyways, I'm trying out different stuff and seeing what sticks. Feedbacks always welcomed :).
Side Note: I've decided to change this to Weekly Finances.
