Kirby Triple Deluxe, Mario & Luigi: Dream Team Nintendo Selects now available at retailers
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 1 Comment
A couple of weeks ago, Nintendo made a few announcements about 3DS. This included two additions to the Nintendo Selects line: Kirby Triple Deluxe and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team.
Nintendo never actually gave a concrete date for the new Nintendo Selects, only opting for a vague “mid-February” timeframe. That being said, retailers are now selling both games. Best Buy and GameStop may have had them as early as last week, but we can confirm that Amazon only began selling them directly today.
The Nintendo Selects versions of Kirby Triple Deluxe and Mario & Luigi: Dream Team can be found at the links below:

The fourth Pokemon Global Mission for Pokemon Sun/Moon has been announced. When it begins on February 28, players will be asked to earn Battle Points from the Battle Tree.
Also, as previously mentioned, the third Pokemon Global Mission ended successfully. The final count for trades made at the Pokemon Global Trade Station came in at over 4.1 million, meaning 2,000 FC, or 4,000 FC if the game is connected to the Global Link, will be handed out. The Friend Ball and Rare Candy event distribution is planned for later this month and will be given through Serial Code on the Global Link.

THQ Nordic says Darksiders Warmastered Edition hasn’t been cancelled for Wii U
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 25 Comments
Darksiders Warmastered Edition made it out on various platforms last November. Unfortunately, the Wii U version still hasn’t launched, and publisher THQ Nordic has been keeping quiet about the situation in recent weeks.
On the bright side, Darksiders Warmastered Edition is still on track for Wii U. THQ Nordic told one fan on Twitter that it hasn’t been cancelled.
@WiiU_PRO @darksiders No, we have not.
— THQNordic (@THQNordic) February 6, 2017
THQ Nordic explained to us last year that “optimizing the game for the Wii U is still a tough task.” The team “made the call of releasing it properly and the only conclusion was to delay it.”
