3DS

Update: Nintendo of America has confirmed a Nintendo Direct as well. You’ll be able to watch it here.

A new Nintendo Direct broadcast will air in just a couple of days. The presentation will focus entirely on the 3DS, it seems. If there’s any Wii U content, it’ll be minimal.

The Nintendo Direct will be streamed at 10 AM ET / 7 AM ET / 3 PM UK time. If Nintendo of America/Japan confirm similar presentations, we’ll be sure to let you know.

Batman: Arkham Origins Blackgate is running on a modified version of the Bluepoint Engine, the game’s developer has revealed. Armature Studio shared the tidbit on Twitter when asked by a fan a few days ago.

Bluepoint Engine has powered titles such as Blast Factor and God of War Collection. PlayStation All-Stars Battle Royale also takes advantage of the technology.

Majeso appears to be shipping Crash City Mayhem in North America, and the game could just be a few weeks away from launching.

We’ve come across a listing on GameFly that lists a plausible May 14 date. The retailer also posted the North American boxart for Crash City Mayhem. Take a look:

Crash City Mayhem originally launched in Japan in January 2012 as Runabout 3D. Ghostlight confirmed plans to distribute the title in Europe last July, but we haven’t heard anything since.

Two Level-5 3DS titles have received release dates from this month’s CoroCoro.

The Little Battlers W is due out in Japan on June 27. Pricing is set at 4,440 yen. Youkai Watch will be available on July 11 for 4,800 yen.

Level-5 will probably be making official release date announcements within the next few days.


Last week, rumors of a new Mewtwo-like Pokemon were finally confirmed. Original speculation indicated that this would be a new Mewtwo form rather than a brand new Pokemon, but the official announcement made this unclear.

Thanks to the latest issue of CoroCoro, we now have some clarity. The magazine confirms that Mewtwo will have a new form – yes, the Pokemon shown last week – and notes that its new shape has formed after being awakened.

During Nintendo Direct’s February broadcast, Nintendo teased an exclusive Animal Crossing: New Leaf feature for both North America and Europe. The company has now made the mystery inclusion public through the newly-translated Iwata Asks interview.

New Leaf allows players to collect houses through StreetPass and view them in the Happy Home Showcase. According to an editor’s note posted in the the Iwata Asks discussion, Nintendo plans to distribute its own homes in this area. Nothing mind-blowing, but a neat little feature for sure.
