King of Pirates was announced well over a year ago, but it isn’t until now that we’re starting to see content from the game. The scan above shows first screenshots (which are admittedly blurry and off-centered) and a bit of art, and direct-feed images will likely be published soon. King of Pirates will also be present at this year’s Jump Festa.


What’s this? Wii U sales on the North American Wii U eShop?! It’s true!

Earthbound creator Shigesato Itoi teased on Twitter today that there’s something related to the series (otherwise known as Mother) on the way. The catch? It isn’t Mother 4.

Itoi posted on Twitter:

“Since I’m allowed to drop it on you all now, I’ll just go ahead and say it. The ‘Mother re-release’ I’d mentioned a bit before, we’re making progress on that. …It’s not 4! We’re trying to get Mother working again right now. I still can’t mention any details, but I have to make clear that this isn’t ‘4’!”

One possible explanation for the tease: a 3DS Virtual Console release. That’s just a guess at this point, though.
