At the American International Toy Fair held last month, USAopoly announced – among quite a number of other products – Monopoly: The Legend of Zelda and Monopoly: Pokemon. Both are due out this September for $45. Most details are being kept in the dark for now, though the version will carry the Kanto region theme.

Additionally, USAopology will be bringing out Connect 4: Super Mario this spring. Below is an official description of that product:

Moon Chronicles could eventually make its way to the Wii U, depending on how successful the 3DS version is.

Renegade Kid co-founder Jools Watsham told NintendoWorldReport that the studio has considered the shooter for Nintendo’s hardware, but it “would only happen if the 3DS version is a runaway hit”. The company would need to be able to “afford to invest in a complete visual upgrade to take advantage of the increased graphical power offered by the Wii U.”

Watsham’s comments in full:

Our thoughts have always been primarily on the 3DS version, but we have discussed a Wii U version. That is something that would only happen if the 3DS version is a runaway hit so we could afford to invest in a complete visual upgrade to take advantage of the increased graphical power offered by the Wii U.

A big week is in store for Watch Dogs, based on a tweet from product manager David Thériault.

Thériault posted the following on Twitter earlier today:

There’s been a lot of talk as of late that Ubisoft may finally be ready to announce a release date for Watch Dogs. Also, it’d be nice to get a new look at the game following Ubisoft’s silence since last year’s delay.

For a very brief period last year, Club Nintendo received a Luigi figurine reward. Although it costed 1,500 coins, it sold out within a matter of days.

Nintendo said it would begin sending out the Luigi figurines in March. That month is now here, and the items are starting to ship. If you ordered one, you should be seeing it in your mailbox soon!

Yanim Studio launched a Kickstarter campaign today for “Red Goddess”, a new action-adventure title “with distinctive atmosphere and gameplay.” Players will be experiencing the role of teen goddess Divine as they “explore her mind, deep inside the subconscious, and find fragments of her memory.”

The good news? Red Goddess has a Wii U stretch goal on Kickstarter. The bad news? It’s set at $400,000.

Yanim will have a lot of work ahead as it first attempts to raise $50,000 for the base goal prior to April 9.
