Some stores combining Wii U/3DS sections into single Nintendo banner, new character renders
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 52 Comments
There’s been a lot of talk going around today about retailers in the U.S. combining their Wii U and 3DS shelf space into a single area. I don’t personally believe that it’s as big a deal as some are making it out to be (especially since stores like Walmart apparently started doing this a year ago) and I almost held off on posting this all all together, but I figured it was at least worth a quick mention. The point is that, in some stores, you may find all Nintendo products grouped together under a unifying classic red banner rather than separate Wii U and 3DS sections.
What I actually find more interesting is that banners are using images that seem to feature new renders of characters. I can’t say I recognize the Link art above, and the Pikachu image below may be new as well.

It’s Nintendo’s 126th birthday today! The company was established way back on September 23, 1889.
Nintendo has certainly come a long way since its early days of creating hanafuda playing cards. I can only imagine where the company will go from here. I’m sure there will be plenty of fun along the way!

Nintendo now has an official LINE account in Japan
Posted on 9 years ago by Matt(@OnePunchMaz) in General Nintendo, News | 3 Comments
Though not very widespread in the West, instant messaging service LINE is extremely popular in Japan. Nintendo has now opened up an official LINE account (@Nintendo) which you can use to “chat” with Toad. Naturally you shouldn’t expect actual responses to your questions – the account seems to use randomly generated phrases to reply.
Still, it might be interesting to see how Nintendo use this to possibly promote their upcoming mobile games.
