Nintendo may have DLC planned for The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes. Unused text – spotted by The Cutting Room Floor – suggests that Drablands could be adding at least one new area. Also found are five blank entries in the costume name file labelled sys_costume_dlc_02 to sys_costume_dlc_06.

Regarding the unused lines, they all come from The Great Tripini NPC. He mentions having to pay in order to access new areas in some of his dialogue.

If you’re interested in reading up on the full unused text, head past the break.

SmileBASIC launched in Japan last year, and in North America last week. Europe is one major region that does not yet have the application though.

There’s good news and bad news. Developer SmileBoom is looking into the possibility of bringing SmileBASIC to Europe, but there’s nothing concrete just yet.

The company wrote on the official website for the 3DS download:

“As soon as we announced the release date of SmileBASIC we are getting lots of e-mails asking the release in European regions. We are considering the European release aggressively and will make an announcement once we made a decision.”

Prima has been publishing guides for a number of Nintendo games as of late, and that will be continuing with Yo-kai Watch. A listing on Amazon gives us an idea as to what we can expect from it:

Find hidden Yo-kai: With the power of the Yo-kai Watch, find and befriend more than 200 hidden Yo-kai and call upon their powers when you need their help.

Critical skills and strengths: Each Yo-kai has its own unique skills and strengths. Use strategy to assemble your team to address different problems and fight evil Yo-kai.

Upgrade strategies: Make your Yo-kai Watch more powerful and upgrade your Yo-kai while playing through the story.

Defeat evil: Assemble the best team of six Yo-kai in your watch to defeat evil and help people in need.

Free mobile-friendly eGuide! Includes a code to access the eGuide, a digital version of the complete strategy guide optimized for a second-screen experience.

The one strange thing here is that the Yo-kai Watch guide apparently won’t be available until December 7. That’s odd since the game itself launches about a month earlier!

The Toys “R” Us catalog reveals stock numbers for three amiibo due out next month. The Mii Fighters 3-pack, Villager (restock), and Mega Yarn Yoshi should be in good supply for the most part.

Stores will be receiving a minimum of 64 units for the Mii Fighters and Villager. There will also be 18 Mega Yarn Yoshis at each Toys “R” Us location, which isn’t quite as high as the other two, but certainly nothing to snuff at. These numbers should make up for their exclusivity somewhat!
