Tesco cancels Devilish Brain Training pre-orders – “supplier no longer publishing the game”
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 7 Comments
Brain Age: Concentration Training came out in Japan almost four years ago. In North America, the title arrived in 2013. But in Europe – where it was to be known as Dr Kawashima’s Devilish Brain Training – it has still yet to launch.
Dr Kawashima’s Devilish Brain Training has been continuously listed for Europe in Nintendo’s release schedules. However, there’s been no official word on when it will be distributed across PAL regions. Given that, perhaps this latest news shouldn’t come as a big surprise.
Tesco Direct has started cancelling pre-orders for Dr Kawashima’s Devilish Brain Training. Why, you ask? The retailer states in emails sent to consumers that this is due to “the supplier no longer publishing the game”.
Here’s the full email:
Dr Kawashima’s Devilish Brain Training was last planned for April 2013 in Europe. Nintendo ended up delaying it to “optimise the best possible launch timing of this title within the European market.”
RCMADIAX looking to focus on fewer games, move away from multiple releases each year
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
RCMADIAX has made over a dozen games for Wii U starting with BLOK DROP U back in 2014. But going forward, the indie developer will be looking to focus on quality over quantity.
In an interview with Nintendo Life, RCMADIAX’s Michael Aschenbrener mentioned that he’d like to launch only a game or two each year. He hopes to start this with his next release, Super Robo Mouse. If successful, we won’t see RCMADIAX’s next game until around 2018 or 2019.
Aschenbrener’s words in full:
“Ideally I would love to develop just a single project at a time – releasing maybe once per year or two. This is the goal starting with SUPER ROBO MOUSE, and should it prove successful, you would likely not see my next release until 2018/2019.”

Zelda: Twilight Princess HD tweet (2/15/16)
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
Another new Twilight Princess HD tweet has been posted on the series’ Japanese Twitter page. Today, “Malo” talks about the Zora tribe and shows off some art.
Here’s our translation:
“…It’s Malo. This is the battle mask worn by the Zora tribe… but there are more variations than I thought. Were they in bad terms against the Goron tribe in the past…? Many of them were used specifically for raids, but on the contrary I think they look more conspicuous…”
Nintendo shares new statement about Fire Emblem Fates’ petting mini-game
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 121 Comments
Nintendo has issued a new statement regarding the petting mini-game in Fire Emblem Fates. Here it is in full:
“In certain circumstances, S-Level characters are able to wake up their spouses by blowing into the microphone or by tapping the screen to touch their hair, face or shoulder. These randomly triggered events are unrelated to the mini-game in the Japanese version.”
This statement essentially confirms what we heard from GameSpot last week. Fire Emblem Fates’ petting mini-game is indeed cut in the western version. However, it’s possible to wake up spouses by tapping the screen or blowing into the 3DS’ microphone – that’s it. There’s nothing extra beyond this in the overseas release.

No current plans for Pokken Tournament DLC
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 31 Comments
Pokken Tournament’s main lineup of content won’t be expanded – at least right out of the gate. It’s been said that there are currently no plans to release more Pokemon or stages via downloadable content. Will that change at any point in the future? That remains to be seen.
