FCC filing points to new Nintendo accessory that could support NFC on both 3DS and mobile
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, Mobile, News | 9 Comments
Nintendo seems to be working on some sort of new Bluetooth accessory, judging my a new filing with the Federal Communications Commission. It looks fairly similar to the 3DS NFC accessory, but this is an entirely new device (CTR-013). It also supports Bluetooth whereas the 3DS device only has an IR port.
One very strong possibility is that Nintendo is preparing an NFC accessory which will work with smart devices (in addition to 3DS, as the CTR product number appears to be a part of the 3DS line). That would pave the wave for amiibo support on mobile. Of course, it’s only speculation for now.
Nintendo skipping corporate strategy meeting for Q2 earnings
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 84 Comments
All eyes will be on Nintendo when the Japanese market closes on October 26. The company is expected to share its second-quarter earnings on that day.
The Wall Street Journal reached out to Nintendo, and it’s worth noting that a spokesperson said no meeting is planned to brief media/analysts on its upcoming strategy. Previously, this is where Nintendo announced Miitomo.
Nintendo president Tatsumi Kimishima will nonetheless meet with the press next Wednesday and analysts the following day. While we’re unlikely to see any news about NX in an online presentation within the next few days, it’s possible that something will be said next week about how the platform will be unveiled. A Nintendo spokesman also reiterated that more on NX is coming by the end of this year.
Michel Ancel talks about what happened with Beyond Good & Evil 2 nearly a decade ago
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 9 Comments
Over on his Instagram page, Beyond Good & Evil creator Michel Ancel offered new information as to what happened with the series’ second entry back in 2008.
At that time, the new Beyond Good & Evil “was playable with many prototypes.” Unfortunately, Ubisoft ran into many technical problems. The team ended up working on Rayman Origins (and later Rayman Legends) while the Beyond Good & Evil project was put to the side. Ancel pointed to planet exploration, space travel, and cities as elements that were intended for the original Beyond Good & Evil, and were planned for the follow-up.
Here’s the full Instagram post:

Monster Hunter Stories came to Japan on October 8. Capcom now intends to release a soundtrack based on the game, which is set for November 9 with a 3,000 yen price point. It has a cover jacket that’s the same as the game’s package illustration, where the protagonist is riding on a Rathalos.
Capcom’s soundtrack will include two discs. Additionally, all copies feature a full-color booklet. It also comes with a QR code that unlocks a usable in-game item.
