Update: Other Wii download listings on the server include The Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword, Super Paper Mario, Metroid: Other M, Wario Land: Shake It, and Mario Strikers Charged.

Yesterday we made mention of a listing found within Nintendo’s servers for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD. It was unclear at the time just how valid that speculation was, but additional evidence has emerged to support the original rumors. Just to be clear, the official description in Nintendo’s database is “The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD” – note the “HD” on the end. But naturally we don’t know what will come from that listing at this time.

Another item found within the same server is for Super Mario Galaxy. Unlike Twilight Princess, this does lacks the “HD” term at the end. It’s listed twice – once for Japan, and again for Europe. Super Mario Galaxy is already out on the Japanese Wii U eShop, but today’s findings could be a sign of an upcoming European release.

Note that even though these listings were absolutely uncovered on Nintendo’s servers, we’re still marking these posts as rumors. It’s always best to maintain some skepticism without an official confirmation!

We’ve all been waiting quite awhile for the announcement of Nintendo’s debut mobile game. The company said it was “making announcement plans” in August, and an insider recently indicated that news would be coming soon.

There’s still no date yet when it comes to the reveal of the mobile title. Still, DeNA West chief executive officer Shintaro Asako officially went on record at GamesBeat 2015 today and said, “Soon, we should be able to announce the game.”

Asako also reiterated previous statements. As mentioned before, five Nintendo and DeNA games are coming between now and March 2017.

Asako added:

“I can’t say too much about the Nintendo deal. But it’s a really exciting initiative. It’s a really long-term initiative.”

Despite the introduction of LEGO Dimensions, Warner Bros. Interactive has no plans to stop creating one-off LEGO games.

LEGO Marvel’s Avengers game director Arthur Parsons told Polygon:

“One million percent this is not the last Lego standalone game. The first day Lego Dimensions was announced internally, we were told there will be a standalone video games alongside Lego Dimensions. People love Lego video games and we will continue to make Lego video games.”

LEGO games have a tendency to tease future entries. As an example, LEGO Marvel Super Heroes teased LEGO Batman 3 in the post-credits. LEGO Batman 3 hinted at LEGO Marvel’s Avengers. Unsurprisingly, the latter title has a tease as well.

“There’s a tease at the end of this one too,” Parsons noted. “But you’ll have to play it to find out what it is.”

Update 3: Bumped to the top again. You can now have Falco shipped to your home.

Update 2: Bumped to the top. Pre-orders are now officially open, though note that you can only order one from your local store.

Update: This is now confirmed. You will be able to pre-order Falco here (should be live soon).

Best Buy appears to have snagged yet another exclusive amiibo. By searching for Falco on the store’s website, you’ll notice that an image shows saying that this figure is only available from the retailer.

We haven’t received an official confirmation about this, so it’s possible that the listing was made an error. That being said, it does currently look like you’ll only be able to purchase the Falco amiibo from Best Buy if you’re in the United States.

Some news came in earlier today about David Production working on the Monster Hunter Stories anime. That information came from a recent interview with Fuji TV president Chihiro Kameyama.

In the interview, Kameyama mentioned that the Monster Hunter Stories anime is planned as both a broadcast and an anime business, which includes products, distribution and licensing. He also indicated that there might be plans to bring it overseas. There’s interest in having the series be a business much like how Yu-Gi-Oh! and Naruto are big businesses for TV Tokyo.

If the anime does make it over, that would also likely mean that we’ll be seeing the game here as well. We’ll just have to wait until next year to learn more about the situation.
