Following Freedom Planet’s final delay, GalaxyTrail said that a new date wouldn’t be announced until all bugs and issues were ironed out. The game did finally make its way to the North American Wii U eShop on Thursday, but some players are unfortunately encountering a notable problem. During a particular cut-scene, a bug pops up that can cause the Wii U to freeze.
GalaxyTrail said on Miiverse a few days ago that they’re aware of a problem. There’s no timetable for it yet, but a patch is already planned. GalaxyTrail also shared some temporary solutions.
Here’s the full Miiverse post:

Miyamoto and Tezuka on the struggle of balancing games for advanced players and beginners
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 39 Comments
Last month’s issue of GamesTM has a lengthy interview with Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka. As you would expect, the discussion is largely focused on the Super Mario Bros. series.
A few interesting comments came about when Miyamoto and Tezuka were asked if they ever made any choices that they were concerned about being controversial. Miyamoto started things off, and spoke about how it’s difficult catering to both advanced players and beginners.
He said:
“For me one of the things was maybe the gap between the really advanced players and the first-time players. The difficulty balance is always something that I hear frustrations about from the public, whichever way we decide to go. We always have the testing team test our game, but whatever they say is really fun, the first-time players might consider to be very difficult. One of the things I do sometimes at the later phases of development is go in and hear the testing team’s requests and actually pull that away and lower the barrier or change what it is they want. Sometimes I even hear from the testing team, ‘You’re destroying the fun’, but on the other hand, the flipside is you hear the first-time players saying ‘If I can’t clear a level it’s not fun for me. If I can’t complete a game it’s not fun for me’. The more years that have passed, the gap between advanced and first-time players has become wider.”

[Let’s Talk] What are you playing? – October 2015

Let’s Talk #26: What are you playing? – October 2015
A new month is here! I’d love to know what everybody has been playing as of late, or intends to play in the weeks ahead.
I’ve been focusing on two main games really: Super Mario Maker and Ys: Memories of Celceta. Ys has been getting most of my time, but I’ve still been playing Super Mario Maker regularly. It’s fun to just boot up the game and mess around with a few levels. I’m not at all creative myself, yet I’m still finding a ton of enjoyment with it.
But what about you guys? What’s everyone playing these days?
Highlights from last week’s topic: Nintendo and movies

I think an animated Mario would be great. We never got a proper one, I think everyone would love to finally see that.
Kira – HylianKeyblade
I think a Zelda movie done by Studio Ghibli could be really interesting and there would probably be a lot of high quality work there ^^. Of course the Zelda movie then have to be in a anime format and I think the Zelda series can suit a anime look pretty well :-).
I do think Nintendo should start making movies more or at least anime/animation series to attract a new young audience like Pokémon and Youkai Watch have accomplished. Also I think it could be pretty cool to see Nintendo characters come to life through animation again ^^. (If done right).
amiibo for Mii Fighters are Toys “R” Us exclusive in North America
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 8 Comments
Although some amiibo are losing their retailer exclusivity in North America, a new set of upcoming figures will be sold at just one store. It turns out that the amiibo for the Mii Fighters will be distributed at only Toys “R” Us. That information is based on the image above, which is a photo snapped from a display.
All of the Mii Fighters are scheduled for November 1. You’d have to think that after a few months have passed, the amiibo will be available at other retailers as well.
