A new version of Super Mario Maker has gone live. Version 1.43 is available for download now.
Here are the patch notes from Nintendo:
- The Star Ranking list in Course World has been changed to display courses that have received the most stars relative to the number of people who have played them.
- Previously, when searching for courses in the Star Ranking list, results could be set to either “Weekly” or “All-Time” but will now be limited to “All-Time.”
- “Super Expert” difficulty has been added to the difficulty filters when searching for courses.
- This update (ver1.43) must be downloaded and applied in order to use the Internet features of Super Mario Maker.
Today’s Super Mario Maker update is a 324MB download.
The newest Pokemon distribution is now live in North America. X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire players can now get their hands on Shiny Yveltal.
You can obtain Shiny Yveltal by choosing Mystery Gift on the main menu, and then selecting the Internet option. Speak to the delivery girl in any Pokemon Center to receive it. That’s all!
Nintendo has put up a new job listing on its website for an “IP Art Asset Specialist”. Among other things, this person will be involved with evaluating artwork for use in movies.
Here’s the full rundown of expected responsibilities:
Bloomylight Studio has completely pulled the plug on Lynn and the Spirits of Inao – including the game’s Kickstarter – following some serious accusations.
Interns who were at the company have apparently come forward within the past few days, claiming that they were not paid for their work. Bloomylight can be found in France where it’s illegal not to pay interns when the internship lasts more than two months.
Bloomylight posted a message on Kickstarter to announce the end of its project yesterday. However, it did not specifically address the recent allegations. You can read it in full below.
