The latest episode of Nintendo’s Japanese show Nyannyan Neko Mario Time has now gone live. We’ve included it below.

Earlier today, we had heard that Wii U production had ended in Japan. It turns out that this isn’t just limited to that country though. In a statement, Nintendo of America says: “Wii U production has ended globally.”

So the Wii U has come into an end everywhere. I guess it makes sense for Nintendo to fully move on to Switch around the world.

Super Mario Run never allowed for true Family Sharing similar to other downloads on iOS. However, players did find a useful workaround last month. With the latest Super Mario Run update, however, it’s been entirely disabled.

Super Mario Run is now entirely downloaded to the device where it originated from. Unfortunately, that means it can’t be shared with family (or anyone else).

Harvest Moon: Skytree Village has received another new patch. Upon updating your game, it’ll be at version 2.00.

Natsume says of the patch:

*The Harvest God and the Harvest Goddess have gotten together and used their magical power to ease the severity of all storms and other conditions which are damaging to crops.
*If you haven’t already grabbed Patch 1.02, all of the changes from the previous patch are now rolled into Patch 2.00 – just one download needed for all the fixes.

Amazon is now taking pre-orders for the standalone Poochy amiibo. Get it here. If you’ve already reserved the Poochy & Yoshi’s Woolly World amiibo bundle, then this probably won’t be of huge interest.

Several new Fire Emblem Heroes previews popped up today. The Verge, GamesBeat, IGN, Polygon, and GameXplain each had impressions with new details. NeoGAF’s Nirolak was kind enough to round up all of the information.

Read the full summary below. While a few of the tidbits were covered in a post earlier today, we’re including them here as well to have one all-encompassing post.

NIS America is holding its annual press event next month. Numerous announcements are always made here. In 2015 for instance, the publisher revealed the localization of Rodea: The Sky Soldier for Wii U and 3DS.

There wasn’t much news at last year’s event, but that could be changing this time around. An invitation notice from NISA suggests that 3DS will be included in the lineup of announcements.


The 2017 NIS America press event will take place on February 17. If any Nintendo-related announcements are made, we’ll be sure to let you know.

Pokemon GO has surpassed $1 billion in worldwide gross revenue on the App Store and Google Play, Sensor Tower reports. It has become the fastest mobile game to reach the milstone.

Clash Royale is the next closest game to hit $1 billion in revenue. While Pokemon GO reached that mark in about seven months, Clash Royale generated approximately $550 million worldwide in the same timeframe.
