Yesterday, Mighty No. 9 publisher Deep Silver announced that the title would be receiving a collector’s edition. Gamers can purchase the “Signature Edition“, which comes with a physical copy, new DLC, a foil signature and a posable Beck statue.

I’d been trying to find out if the package would be available on Wii U, but hadn’t received any sort of response. Although we now finally have an answer, it’s unfortunately not good news. Deep Silver has confirmed via Twitter that the Mighty No. 9 Signature Edition is only on the PlayStation 4 and Xbox One.

Update: The OlliOlli update should also be available in North America (thanks omartin94). I wouldn’t be surprised if the same goes for Titan Attacks as well.

Curve Digital has released updates for the 3DS edition of OlliOlli and Titan Attacks in Europe (18 blocks each). Both titles have received patches bringing them up to version 1.1

We’re not quite sure what these updates do at present, but they’re likely bug fixes. If anyone can confirm that the patches are live in North America, that’d be swell!

Reddit user ZoomBoppo has expended a huge amount of effort into finding the “secrets” within amiibo. After going through the figures’ code in-depth, he was able to determine some potentially interesting findings.

Here’s a quick roundup:

– It’s very likely ZSS and Dr. Mario will work the same as Samus and Mario respectively in games like Mario Kart 8 and Ace Combat, with Dr. Mario being usable in Mario Party 10.
– There may be a Rosalina amiibo without Luma, likely for the Super Mario series.
– Space is reserved for every Pokemon, which could mean anything.
– Mii Fighters are coming.
– It’s likely there are 2 more Mario-series amiibo yet to be announced.
– There are two amiibo series in limbo. They could either be YWW and AC, or two completely unannounced ones.

If you’d like to take a peak at the huge amount of work that went into these findings, you can check out the Reddit page here. Just keep in mind that nothing is confirmed until Nintendo makes announcements.

Is this the end of Nintendo Video in North America? That’s a very strong possibility given a new message distributed by SpotPass today.

In the message, Nintendo states that Nintendo Video content is moving to the eShop. You’ll be able to watch past shows by visiting the digital store.

Nintendo Video hasn’t seen much promotion in recent months, so it’d hardly be a surprise to see it come to a close. I hate to say it, but there’s not much need for the app at present.

Thanks to DJMusicClues for the tip.

Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories isn’t the only new title Natsume is planning for Wii U. Today, the company announced that “Ninja Strike” is also in development for the platform (presumably via the eShop).

Here’s the official overview:

Run, fly, and slash enemies to get the stolen treasures back! Be sure to check out this high-speed, action-packed, side-scrolling title in Natsume’s Ninja series! Whether you go with strength or triple jumping, there is a ninja for you! Choose from 5 different ninjas, each with their own special characteristics. You’ll face much more than just run-of-the-mill henchmen! Use your hard-earned coins to level up a variety of skills that will help you get further and make you tougher! Pick the skills that best fit your playing style! How far can you go?

Natsume previously brought Ninja Strike to iOS. On Wii U, this appears to be a completely brand new game, though we’ve attached an image from the mobile version above.

Ninja Strike will be featured at E3 2015 later this month.
