It’s highly probable that we’ll be seeing the N64 edition of Mario Golf on the North American Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow. The ESRB has rated the game, which is a very strong sign of an imminent eShop release.

Last week, the ESRB rated Sin & Punishment as well as Sin & Punishment: Star Successor for Wii U. Both titles ended up on the eShop just a couple of days later.

We have the official word on the 30th Anniversary Mario – Modern Color amiibo. In the United States, the only way to purchase the figure at launch is by obtaining the Super Mario Mario Deluxe Set. That’s according to a message on the North American amiibo website.

It’s a bit of a bummer, but it sounds like it will only be a matter of time before this 8-bit Mario amiibo will be widely available. If you want the figure immediately, importing may be your only option!

Additional information about Ace Attorney 6 has been translated from the pages of this week’s Famitsu. You’ll find the details rounded up below.

– Once again, the game is set in a foreign country which Phoenix visits “for a certain goal”
– The old Wright luck kicks in and he finds himself wrapped up in a certain case when his tour guide is arrested
– Phoenix goes to see the trial
– When there, he sees there’s no defense attorney and the judge is relying on things like an “oracle of spirits” to hand down a guilty verdict immediately
– Phoenix objects and takes the defense’s bench
– In the game is the mysterious, strong-willed woman in the art
– This woman is neither a witness nor a prosecutor nor a judge
– She’s this game’s “key person” like Athena in AA5
– Note that it does not say she’s Phoenix’s assistant, just reuses the “key person” term
– The “water mirror” in the courtroom plays a part in a new system they’re keeping under wraps
– The magazine also seems to suggest there may be other small changes from the usual courtroom antics
– This new system will be playable at TGS 2015
– In this country, there are prosecutors, but no defense attorneys
– Defendants must use a “certain object” to defend themselves
– The game’s theme is a “courtroom revolution”
– The team felt Phoenix was in a position where he didn’t really have anyone who could match up to him in Japan, so that was part of the reason they moved him into the wider world
– They also hope that trials in a court where the usual “rules” don’t play will help give a sense of urgency to the game that they couldn’t get in just a plain Japanese trial
– Devs have heard complaints about Ace Attorney 5 being too easy due to the many hints characters gave
– With this game, they’re aiming to let the player enable/disable hints on their own, and to avoid direct clues like in AA5
– Development is still fairly early on
– The team wants to make a game to surpass the previous entries, and to “betray the player’s expectations – in a good way!”

The good news is that the eShop release is still planned – you’ll just need to wait longer than expected to play it. Space Hulk is now planned for a Christmas launch on Wii U.
