New, comprehensive online service offers fast, efficient and accessible repairs and information

23rd April 2012– Nintendo UK has launched the Official Nintendo Customer Support Centre, a comprehensive service offering answers to any questions Nintendo fans have about Wii™, Nintendo DS™ or Nintendo 3DS™ consoles, games or accessories as well as a fast, reliable repair service. Gamers can then get on with the more important activity – playing games.

Customers taking advantage of the repair service are offered an initial inspection free of charge, which includes free shipping for their console or accessories. There are no obligations, however if customers do choose to have equipment repaired, they will receive their products back within seven days. Where products are still under warranty, repairs are free, and are returned complete with a new one-year warranty, also free of charge.



We’ll be hearing about the next Call of Duty title in less than two weeks. The official website for the franchise has been updated, teasing a May 1 unveiling. Some sort of video – most likely an announcement trailer or commercial – will air during the first round of the NBA playoffs a week from Tuesday.


Capcom’s Hironobu Takeshita, the producer of Zack & Wiki: Quest for Barbaros’ Treasure, has strong interest in making a sequel.

Takeshita was quizzed about the possibility of a follow-up in an interview with Nintendo Power. Additionally, he was asked if there has been any consideration as to how a second game would play like on the 3DS.

Takeshita told the magazine:

“I have a great deal of interest in doing a sequel. It’s one of several IPs that I want to return to. As for Nintendo 3DS…it would be fun if people could play and solve puzzles together.”

Zack & Wiki was a critical hit, but it was not a financially successful game for Capcom. As a result, the company has been hesitant to revisit the IP.



Missed the Japanese Nintendo Direct that was shown a few hours ago? No worries! You catch watch the full presentation in the video above.


Kirby turns 20 this year. Unlike Metroid, Nintendo hasn’t forgotten about the character’s birthday.

On the latest Japanese Nintendo Direct, Satoru Iwata announced that the company will celebrate by releasing “memorial versions” of classic Kirby titles on Wii. This will begin in the summer. Club Nintendo products will be made available as well in Japan.

It’s the 21st in Japan, so we’ll stick with that date! The presentation should begin in 15 minutes.

Keep tabs on the site once it has begun. Trailers, news, and other content can be found here.



IGN appears to have obtained a promotional box for Call of Duty: Black Ops 2. A retailer employee sent in the photo above to the site, which will be placed in stores soon.

The box looks exactly the same as the rumored poster image found earlier this week. I suppose we’ll be getting something for Black Ops 2 on May 2 after all…

This is rather odd. Nintendo of Japan is getting a Nintendo Direct with their president. So is Europe. North America, though? Nothing!

However, Nintendo of America will be providing updates on something at 11:30 PM EST. There will be news tonight and through the weekend.

IGN’s Rich George tweeted:

“Nintendo: ‘While there will not be a video specific to North America, we will be revealing info this evening and through the weekend.’ …That is shortened from NOA statement. Because… Twitter. But the gist is – no video but an announcement and some via Nintendo social.”
