2015 Nintendo World Champion John Numbers held an AmA (Ask me Anything) on the Nintendo subreddit. Here are a couple choice quotes:

On meeting Shigeru Miyamoto:

I was definitely starstruck seeing the man in person. I was very excited to shake his hand, and receive his autograph. I took an opportunity off-mic to thank him for all of the good experiences I’ve had with Nintendo games growing up.

On the event being 50% contestants who qualified and 50% invitees:

I had no problem with the invitees showing up. The speedrunners are all talented gamers, and I can understand them being allowed to appear onstage. Egoraptor too, and he actually did a lot better than anyone was expecting(including Ego himself), so kudos to his good work too.

On whether he’s actually going to use his signed 3DS:

I’m still trying to figure that out. If I do ever end up using it I’ll definitely be getting a super protective case for it. Can’t let a national treasure like that be damaged.

Playtonic’s Yooka-Laylee Kickstarter will end in just 13 hours and on its final day, it also hit its final stretch goal. A total of £2 million has been donated by backers, which means that everyone who contributed money to the project will get the game’s eventual DLC for free.

Odds are you’ve already seen the Nintendo World Championships by now, but in case you haven’t or if you just want to check out a couple of the show’s highlights, Nintendo uploaded three videos to their Youtube channel: one general highlight video and two about Super Mario Maker. Check them out past the break:

The free updates for Splatoon just keep on coming despite E3 being in full swing. Tomorrow in Europe (and likely tonight in North America, if past updates are any indication), the L-3 Nozzlenose and Custom E-litre 3k will be added to Splatoon.

Earlier today we posted about two new screenshots of Shin Megami Tensei x Fire Emblem / Illusory Revelations #FE, one of which came from a developer blog post by director Mitsuru Hirata. Now, the folks over at Siliconera have translated that blog post. It’s fairly lengthy, so I’ve placed it after the break.

The Pokemon Company have published a new Japanese trailer for the upcoming 3DS game Pokemon Super Mystery Dungeon. It shares some scenes with the game’s reveal trailer shown during the latest Nintendo Direct, but has some new footage as well. Check it out below:
