Nintendo has issued its latest update for the 3DS family of systems. As of today, all owners can download version 11.13.0-45.
Like previous system upgrades, today’s update isn’t overly significant. However, it’s slightly different from the standard stability patches we’ve seen over the past few years. Nintendo says that version 11.13.0-45 addresses an issue in which StreetPass would not work in some cases.

Sam Raimi worked on a trio of Spider-Man movies before Sony moved on with The Amazing Spider-Man. However, there were originally talks of a fourth film happening. That prompted Eurocom to work on a prototype for a game based on Spider-Man 4, which ultimately never saw the day of light.
Gaming Alexandria and Hard4Games have now shared some of the first footage specifically from the Wii version. Since development was never finished, the prototype only contains two incomplete stages, lacks detail, and has debug features. Still, it’s an interesting look at what could have been.
Here’s the full video as posted by Hard4Games:

Shovel Knight has been on just about every platform you can imagine. That includes Switch, a system that Nintendo came out with long after the game’s release. Despite that, it’s been doing pretty well on the platform.
During an interview with Destructoid, Yacht Club Games’ Sean Velasco and David D’Angelo mentioned that Switch accounts for “25% of total sales on all platforms,” which the team feels is “wild”. Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove is said to be selling “decently” on all platforms overall.

GameDaily recently caught up with former Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime. Reggie retired from the company earlier this year after more than fifteen years with the company.
Reggie had some interesting things to say during the interview, and spoke about his decision to retire, his relationship with the late Nintendo president and CEO Satoru Iwata, and how the company wanted to shake up the industry with Wii and DS rather than going with “more horsepower and more accurate visual representation.”
We’ve rounded up these comments from GameDaily’s interview below. You can find the full discussion here.

CrossCode, a 2D action-RPG, was announced for Switch at the start of this year. The original plan was to have the game ready by the end of 2019. Radical Fish Games has now officially confirmed a delay, and we also have an update from Deck13 – the studio handling the Switch port.
In its status report, Deck13 mentioned that it “underestimated the amount of work a bit”. The team also had to consider performance after translating the original HTML5 code.
