Splatoon is such a huge hit, especially in Japan, that it doesn’t come as a huge surprise that Nintendo is taking advantage of the popularity of the IP. As such, a Splatoon manga will soon be released in Japan. It will be published in the bi-monthly manga magazine Bessatsu CoroCoro Comic starting in April.

Europe: Download the Bravely Second demo, get 10% off the full game
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS eShop, News | 2 Comments
The demo for Bravely Second will be available on the European eShop later today. Chances are you were going to get it anyway if you’re interested in the full game, at the very least because of the in-game bonuses which are unlocked if you transfer data over from the demo. Now there’s another compelling reason: if you download the demo, the full game will cost you 10% less if you buy it via the Nintendo eShop. Unless you’re getting the game’s Special Edition, this is a pretty good deal.
The offer is valid until March 10th; the game launches on February 26th.

Ace Attorney 6’s rival prosecutor revealed
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in 3DS, News | 8 Comments
Some of the most memorable characters from the Ace Attorney franchise have been the prosecutors that face off against Phoenix, Apollo and co. in court. Via some early Famitsu scans, we now know who the rival prosecutor in the upcoming Ace Attorney 6 will be. The character’s gender, by the way, is not 100% clear at the moment. Both the text and the picture are somewhat ambiguous. The folks over at Court-Records have also provided the following translated tidbit from Famitsu:
The Funeral Prosecutor – Nayuta Samadhi
International prosecutor and an eminent monk in the Kingdom of Kurain with a devout belief in [her] religion. She believes that convicting the guilty in court means salvation for their victims. Has a soft demeanor, but has a sharp tongue.
“Let’s judge upon the guilty and guide the spirits of their victims to the afterlife”Objection: “Satora”

Rumor: Star Fox Zero facing development issues over the game’s motion controls
Posted on 8 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in News, Rumors | 145 Comments
Some rumors regarding Star Fox Zero’s development have been floating around the internet lately, but since there was no credible source attached, we haven’t reported on them. This has now changed since Liam Robertson has weighed in on the rumors – he has an excellent track record and has proven to be a reliable source, making these rumors a lot more credible. Furthermore, Nintendo Life has followed up with Robertson and got some additional confirmation and comments from him.
It seems that Star Fox Zero’s motion controls are causing some issues and might lead to the game not passing Nintendo of Europe’s Quality Assurance check. Robertson says that the Nintendo of Europe QA team is “concerned” about players’ reactions to the game’s fairly unusual and complex Gamepad motion controls. He also revealed to Nintendo Life that the team who was in charge of Mario Kart 8’s fairly unpopular Battle Mode (which didn’t feature dedicated courses, but rather took place on the regular race tracks) is in charge of Star Fox Zero’s multiplayer. According to Robertson’s sources, the whole project feels “disjointed”. Because of these issues, another release date delay is supposedly possible.
As always, take rumors like this with a grain of salt, even though we’re dealing with a reputable source here. Either way, we should hopefully hear official news about the game soon. Right now, it’s still scheduled to be released in April – if Nintendo decides to stick to that release date, they will likely start promoting the game soon. If a delay does indeed happen, it would also be in Nintendo’s best interest to announce it as early as possible. We will keep you posted.
