Nintendo says that these posters feature “special printing effects” – whatever that means!


No Wii U insight, but there are many Wii and 3DS games playable at the show. The 3DS XL is there as well. I think I even see a GameCube station in one of those photos…

Japanese Club Nintendo members can enter a raffle for a chance to win new Kirby rewards. A cushion, a pin set, a plush pouch, and a set of circular playing cards are among the prizes.

Basically, it works like this: register Kirby’s Epic Yarn, Kirby’s Return to Dream Land, and Kirby’s Dream Collection. You’ll automatically enter the raffle as soon as this is done. That’s it!

European publisher Ghostlight has a new 3DS game localization to announce. The company teased the unknown title on its blog today.

The only hint given is that it isn’t an RPG. Also, the game in question will be released this year.

Ghostlight wrote:

“In other news, we’re making excellent progress on Devil Survivor 2 (DS) and Devil Survivor Overclocked (3DS). They really are both excellent games so watch out for more news on these two over the next few weeks. I’ll also be announcing that Ghostlight has secured another Japanese 3DS game for release this year and before you start guessing, no, it’s not a JRPG this time!”

Hmm… I wonder if this could be Code of Princess. We know that it’s been picked up for Europe, but its publisher hasn’t been announced. Some may see Code of Princess as an RPG, but I’d say that it’s more of a beat-em-up.

Shigeru Miyamoto has a couple of top picks in terms of Nintendo franchises he’d like to see on Wii U.

One franchise Miyamoto would choose to bring to the new console is Metroid. While it’s not an indication that the series is confirmed for the system, he thinks “it’s very easy to imagine some interesting implementation for Wii U.”

Miyamoto commented on how the GamePad and gyro support “really gives you a lot of interesting opportunities for development”:

“With Metroid it’s very easy to imagine some interesting implementation for Wii U. I think that having another screen with the gyro built in really gives you a lot of interesting opportunities for development, and we can bring a lot of our games to life in a completely unique way with that.”

Miyamoto later said:

“I feel like the possibilities of the GamePad for Metroid could be really fantastic. There’s certainly a lot that you could do there for that game.”

A second series Miyamoto would like to see on Wii U, and perhaps above all else, is Star Fox. He didn’t go into detail beyond this sadly.
