Nintendo Show 3D is no more. After around a year-and-a-half of episodes, the show is ending. The announcement was made at the end of the series’ final video that went live on the 3DS eShop earlier today. It’s unclear why exactly it’s ending, and the situation is especially peculiar when you consider that Nintendo Show 3D often topped the 3DS charts as the store’s most-popular video.

Thanks to Dusty51 and Jake for the tip.

And if there is somehow a new No More Heroes game, we all know that Suda51 promised it for the Wii U years ago. Again, all speculation at this point.

Nicalis tweeted earlier today that Cave Story has been approved in Europe. There’s no set release date yet, but one would think that its release is imminent.

The game will include the “Miiversketch” feature, a mode that requires players to quickly draw items on the GamePad from memory. Drawings will be added to a special Miiverse board once the designated time expires.

Nintendo demonstrated a couple of examples. In one instance, King Tut was drawn in a matter of 60 seconds. Other drawings involved a camel and a sloth.

Destructoid personally confirmed with Vigil co-founder Ryan Stefanelli that Crytek USA will bid on the Darksiders IP.

Stefanelli said:

“When the Darksiders IP goes up for auction, Crytek will be bidding for it. Not much more to say since the rest is left up to courts and legal shenanigans, but we’re all excited at the prospect.”

Yesterday, Crytek USA CEO David Adams posted a tweet containing the news. It was initially unclear, however, if Adams’ Twitter account was legitimate.
