Numerous toys based on the Scribblenauts Unmasked game are on the way.

A photo shared on an official Twitter account shows some of the toys, along with a tease that states how they’re “coming soon”.

It’s currently unclear as to when consumers will be able to get their hands on any of the upcoming Scribblenauts Unmasked toys.

A new Ace Attorney game could very well be in the cards. Motohide Eshiro, producer of the sub-series’ two games, is very interested in making a third.

Eshiro told Siliconera that he “would love to do another one”. Scenario writer Tsuyoshi Yamazaki would also likely be interested in contributing. Making Ace Attorney Investigations 3 is simply “a matter of securing the appropriate personnel within Capcom and getting everything planned”. While he can’t promise anything, he’s going to try and look into that in the future.

“As far as a continuation of the Investigations series goes, I would love to do another one, personally, and I know [scenario director] Mr. Yamazaki would also be interested in getting something like that spun up. It would be a matter of securing the appropriate personnel within Capcom and getting everything planned, so I intend to try to do something with that in the future, but I can’t make any promises.”

Even though Super Smash Bros. has been around since the N64 era, Nintendo is just now bringing the franchise to a portable. In addition to Wii U, a unique version of the series’ next entry will be released for the 3DS.

But has creator Masahiro Sakurai considered making Smash Bros. for a Nintendo handheld in the past? As it turns out, the answer is yes.

Sakurai told GamesTM this month that he “thought about it”, but “we purely didn’t have the opportunity, it just never came up.” He also explained that it may not have been possible to realize Smash Bros. on any Nintendo handheld before the GBA.

“It’s not that I haven’t wanted to – I thought about it, I did. To be honest, we purely didn’t have the opportunity, it just never came up. And also, to speak freely, if you look at a handheld device preceding anything before the GBA, I don’t know that it would have the capabilities to fully realize Smash Bros.”

Thanks to joclo for sending this information our way.

All three major console manufacturers have approached TowerFall creator Matt Thorson, including Nintendo. The Big N talked to Thorson at this year’s E3.

Thorson told Polygon:

“Everyone has approached me. At E3, Nintendo talked to me. Sony came to my house. Microsoft has been emailing me. There’s a lot of demand for the game. I just want as many people to play it as possible.”

TowerFall was originally released for Ouya, and is now coming to PC. Maybe we’ll see it on the eShop one day…

Nintendo is giving fans an opportunity to go hands on with Pikmin 3 this weekend. Over 250 GameStop locations will have an early demo, and those who pre-order a digital copy at the retailer will receive access one day early.

Pikmin 3 isn’t the only title that will be on display at GameStop’s preview, it would seem. Nintendo has sent out a tweet stating that the company “might even give you a sneak peek at an upcoming 3DS game”.

Zelda: A Link Between Worlds? Mario & Luigi: Dream Team? Pokemon X/Y? Place your guess!

Video game composer Nobuo Uematsu was at Comic-Con this week, and Siliconera took the opportunity to ask him if he’s working on anything with Hironobu Sakaguchi. His response was interesting, to say the least.

“Well, you know, quite recently we’ve been talking together quite often.”

The last time Uematsu and Sakaguchi worked on something major together was, of course, The Last Story. Wouldn’t it be nice if the two were developing a follow-up for Wii U?

Update (7/19): Down to $117 now. If you already pre-ordered, you should automatically receive the lower price.

The Legend of Zelda Box Set: Prima Official Game Guide will be releasing in November, according to a listing on Amazon.com.

This will be an extremely limited release – it will only be printed once, and will then be gone forever.

Now, let’s go over what the package contains: six hardcover collector’s editions for Ocarina of Time 3D (in hard cover and exclusive to the box set), Spirit Tracks, Phantom Hourglass, Wind Waker, Twilight Princess, and Skyward Sword (revised and expanded by over 100 pages). All guides will feature gilded edges, and will come in a unique Zelda-themed box held together by an embedded magnetic clasp.

The last two items could be the most interesting for fans: a numbered certificate of authenticity signed by Eiji Aonuma and a 2-sided laser etched metallic bookmark.

You can order pre-order The Legend of Zelda Box Set: Prima Official Game Guide here. Amazon has it for $153, which is $27 less than the retail price. It officially launches on November 26.
