During Unite Tokyo, it was announced that Unity would be heading to New 3DS. It’s now been revealed that the engine will be available for use starting today. Just like Wii U, Unity comes free of charge on New 3DS.

Unity has already been working with developers to port some of their games to the New 3DS. You may recall that Wind Up Knight 2 went on sale towards the end of last year in Japan.

Unity actually supports the original 3DS as well, though with a bit of a caveat. It’s possible to “generate ROM images which are compatible with the original 3DS, and there are certainly some types of game which will run perfectly well on it, but for the majority of games we strongly recommend targeting the New Nintendo 3DS for maximum gorgeousness.”

Update: In an article this week, Polygon also claims to have received confirmation about the petting removal from Nintendo (thanks for the tip, Jake).

A few days ago, news surfaced about Nintendo removing the petting mini-game from Fire Emblem Fates in the west. That information came from Kotaku, who received the information from the company. Since other well-known outlets were only citing Kotaku as their source, some wondered if the site had been misinformed or shared misinformation. As it turns out, what we heard originally is absolutely true.

A comment is making the rounds from Rich George, a director of Golin for Nintendo. For those that are unaware, Golin handles all PR for the Big N in the United States. George was able to reconfirm that Fire Emblem Fates’ petting mini-game has indeed been removed in the west.

After several pieces of concept art shared throughout the week, the latest Zelda: Twilight Princess HD message added to the series’ Twitter account is a bit random. But hey, it does come with a neat GIF!

Here’s the full translation:

“…It’s Malo. Today a so-called designer comes to the village to hold a special lecture… I see, he’s a dextrous guy… If I feel like it, I’ll ask him to renew the signboard for my shop.”

For those that are confused, this seems to be more like a demonstration as to how the designer drew the illustration, as shown in the tweet’s GIF.

Midnight Status is in the process of wrapping up Swap Fire, the indie’s debut project. This is a new first-person shooter slated for the Wii U eShop.

Here’s a brief overview:

“Shooting your opponent opens up a wormhole which swaps your positions. Oust him off the edge in Drop Zone or dominate the map in Control Point. Sharpen your skills in Story Mode or go for gold in Soccer. Whatever your goal, be ever mindful of your spacetime…”

Swap Fire’s controls are certainly unique. The game only uses the Wii Remote, with players holding it horizontally.

Regarding the controls, Midnight Status has this to say:

“Wait a second. An FPS with just a Wii remote? That’s CRAZY.

Here’s the thing: our main goal is to create an awesome/fun couch multiplayer. By now, the Wii U has about a thousand different types of controllers.

We wanted to keep it simple and FAIR with the one type of controller that everybody has, the Wii remote.

While we understand that these controls seem crazy for an FPS, we are confident that they’re fun and easy to use after just a minute of playing.”

Swap Fire is heading towards the end of development. Currently, the team hopes to have it ready sometime by summer.
