Paper Mario: Color Splash pre-load live in North America
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 3 Comments
If you have a North American Wii U console, Paper Mario: Color Splash can now be pre-loaded from the eShop. Nintendo is letting users buy the game and download most of its data ahead of time. When Paper Mario: Color Splash arrives on October 7, only a small update will be needed to begin playing.
I’m wary of eShop listings since then turn out to be a bit inaccurate, but it’s estimated that Paper Mario: Color Splash takes up around 9GB. We also have some screenshots from the listing below.

Latest Nintendo patent involves projection that can correct itself to the user’s perspective
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 11 Comments
Several months ago, Nintendo filed a patent for a projection system / projector device / image capturing device and program. Today, it was finally made public.
Essentially, the patent involves a projection that can correct itself to the user’s perspective. Here’s the abstract:
“The present invention implements a projection system which appropriately corrects geometric distortion of a projected image even when an object to be projected has an arbitrary three-dimensional shape and a user’s point of view is not fixed. A projection unit (3) of a projector device 100 projects a first adjustment test image. A three-dimensional shape measurement unit (4) measures a three-dimensional shape of the object to be projected. An image capturing device (200) captures the first adjustment test image projected by the projection unit (3), and acquires a first adjustment captured image. A projected image adjustment unit (1) executes: (1) first adjustment processing for, on the basis of the first adjustment captured image acquired by the image capturing device (200), correcting the image such that geometric image distortion is reduced at an image capturing point at which the first adjustment captured image was captured; and (2) second adjustment processing for, on the basis of a state when the image adjusted by the first adjustment processing was projected by the projection unit (3), correcting the image such that geometric image distortion is reduced.”
And some images from the filing:
If you’d like to investigate the patent further, you can view it online here. As always though, patents aren’t necessarily confirmed to be something that Nintendo will use in its products.
Thanks to KniteBlargh for the tip.

Ubisoft: “Nintendo has learned from the Wii U” with NX
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch, Wii U | 105 Comments
Continuing on from his comments yesterday, Yves Guillemot has again spoken about NX. IGN put up more comments from the Ubisoft CEO, most notably of which has him saying that “Nintendo has learned from the Wii U” with its new system.
Guillemot said the following when asked if he views the NX as a step back towards the Wii’s more inclusive approach:
“It’s difficult to answer that [before NX is revealed]. What we see is that Nintendo has learned from the Wii U. All publishers learn from what they do, and then come with something new and more attractive, which I think is the case here.”
Guillemot went on to praise NX’s interface and how the system “will be easy to use for all gamers”:

It’s rare that we make a post about new 3DS themes in North America as they’re typically covered in our Nintendo Download post, but we are making one exception today. That’s because four Sonic themes are out now, and one is even free.
The theme pictured above, which is based on Sonic’s 25th anniversary, won’t cost you even a single penny. In addition to that, SEGA prepared the Sonic series: Boom Style, Sonic series: Classic Style, and Sonic series: Sonic Style themes. Each one costs $2, though you can also pick up a bundle of all three for $5.
Here’s a look at the non-anniversary themes:
