Nicalis has announced plans to publish a student-made game at iDÉAME today. The company intends to distribute, market, and sell the title on the Wii U eShop next year once it’s ported over. Sounds like a neat initiative on the part of Nicalis!

Coaster Crazy, originally released for iOS, will be making its way to the Wii U eShop. Frontier Developments announced the new version at iDÉAME V.

Details shared thus far include:

• Use the Wii U Gamepad to control everything, mainly using the touch screen (but most of the actions can also be done pressing buttons).
• Off-TV, no Multiplayer

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.

It’s not directly related to Nintendo, but I’m guessing
it’s on your guys’ mind either which way.

Author: Austin

NintendoEverything is, quite obviously, a Nintendo-centric website. We deal in the happenings over at the Big N– occasionally branching out and discussing things that are going on industry-wide– but by and large we are happy to keep concerned only with the things that our favorite developer and publisher does. It’s more than enough to keep someone busy for months on end after all, and usually the topics that are being discussed on a grander scale (downloadable content, violence in video games, etc) don’t affect “us” too much, because Nintendo is usually “behind the times” when it comes to keeping up with trends.

Ah, but today, something has come up that I think is worth discussing despite that fact: This idea of “always-online”. This concept that my console, game, or PC must be connected to the internet at all times in order to play the games I want to play, or use the services I want to use. There are two arguments being made:

1) “Always-online is the future. It’s an advancement in technology that we have to get with in order for the gaming industry to move forward.”

2) “But what if I don’t have a stable internet connection? It’s ridiculous that I wouldn’t be able to play games because of technical hiccups.”

Personally, I think both of these arguments are a load of things-that-are-bad-arguments.

Okay, time for a bit more of an informal post than I’d usually put together:

I just opened up the week one discussion thread of Super Mario RPG: Legend of the Seven Stars for those who are planning on participating in this week’s NintendoEverything Book Club (for Video Games!) discussion. It can be found by clicking right here.

You do have to make an account with NintendoEverything in order to partake in this half of the discussion, but I’d make the case that it’s worth the effort! It means you can comment on news stories every day as well instead of having opinions that you keep bundled up inside yourself, AND you can take part in our (hopefully) intelligent discussions of video games every week with the NEBC!

You have until the podcast’s recording (usually Friday or Saturday) if you want to send in your thoughts on the game to [email protected], but you can take as long as you’d like if you only plan to follow along and discuss in the forum. The deadline is merely so we have time to screen all of the submissions before sitting down to record on podcast day. This week all of us will be getting from the beginning of the game to the place where we obtain the first “star piece”. You’ll know what that means when you get a ways into the game, but I’m guessing we’re looking at a small 2-hour time commitment this time around.

If you need more info on what exactly the NEBC is or how to participate (as well as other information you may want), please click here.

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.
