Rumor: Nintendo has ceased production of DS cartridges worldwide
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in DS, Rumors | 29 Comments
According to a tweet from Canadian retailer Video Games Plus, Nintendo has ceased production of DS cartridges. The retailer does promise its own set of exclusive restocks for the near future, however.
Video Games Plus sent out the following message a little while ago:
Bad News: Nintendo has discontinued production of DS carts worldwide Good News: VGP has a bunch of EXCLUSIVE DS GAME restocks coming in soon
— VGP Video Games Plus (@VideoGamesPlus_) April 3, 2016
Nintendo has not officially confirmed that it has stopped production of DS carts worldwide. But given the fact that Video Games Plus is a retailer, they could very well have this sort of information as its disposal.

Yoshinori Ono on other Street Fighter characters he’d like to see in Smash, Nintendo vs. Capcom talk
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Videos | 22 Comments
StreetPass UK spoke with Capcom’s Yoshinori Ono last month. During the chat, the Street Fighter producer was asked about other characters from the series he’d like to see in Smash. He also showed some interest in something like Nintendo vs. Capcom when asked about Smash Bros. characters that could be a good fit in Street Fighter.
Here’s the full interview:
Thanks to Jake for the tip.

A look at some Xenoblade Chronicles X concept art
Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 9 Comments
Towards the very end of last year, a special Xenoblade Chronicles X art book came out in Japan. This features over 300 pages of goodness showing characters, enemies, Dolls, and much more.
One section of the book is particularly interesting. This is the “Unidentified Material” portion that mainly highlights concepts with art that didn’t make it into the final game. Below, you can find some of these images along with translations for the different pages.
Page 1
Protagonist (name undecided)
A rough sketch of a young man in his late twenties is found! He ended up as “protagonist” since the name was undecided, but the personality feels different from the avatar of Xenoblade Chronicles X. So that means this character is…!?
Page 2
Father
Just introduced as “Father”, this rough sketch of a mysterious character has rough facial hair. The title probably doesn’t mean age[*], so is he someone’s father?
[* The used Japanese word may mean a father or an old man in general]Reina Sakuraba
This is a rough sketch of a beautiful character who has an aura of a heroine. One can imagine that she is related to Sakuraba Industries because of her surname…

Posted on 8 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 2 Comments
505 Games took to the official Terraria forums recently and provided an update about the game on both Wii U and 3DS.
The next Terraria console update is wrapping up, and could be ready around May. It’s expected that the 3DS patch will drop at around the same time. As for what the update entails, 505 Games noted the following:
3DS Update: will likely hit at a similar time frame as the console timing above. We have not shared what all we are including for this one – but the plan is for this to cover fixes to the most pressing issues as well as bringing the first post-launch new content to the 3DS version of Terraria! We will share more details at a later date.
There’s also some news about Terraria for Wii U. It sounds like this version of the game could come out at the end of May digitally (followed by the retail version).
505 said the following regarding Terraria on Nintendo’s console:
Wii U Terraria: This has taken longer than anticipated, however, we are on the brink of submission to Nintendo and this is expected to be available digitally at the end of May.
