Nintendo began distributing codes for a Zelda: Tri Force Heroes demo in Japan earlier today. You can only play the core levels at specific times and days, but you can mess around in the lobby a tiny bit. You can see that in the video below.

The latest update on Stella Glow introduces us to the The Knights of Regnant.

First, take a look at the new trailer below:

And here are the latest details:

When you’re just a lowly villager about to be obliterated at the hands of Hilda, Witch of Destruction, and moments before your certain demise you get saved at the last second by the knights of the land, you tend to feel indebted to those knights and do whatever it takes to join their ranks.

Well, that’s what Stella Glow’s protagonist, Alto does at least! And good for him too, since the Regnant Knights’ 9th Regiment are some of the baddest mofos around and fully capable of stopping Hilda and her Harbingers. I mean, look at Archibald. You don’t say stuff like this if you can’t back it up:

Archibald, Klaus, and Rusty make up your fellow squadmates who will help recruit other Witches and stop Hilda. Oh, and don’t forget, they’re also people you can form bonds with during Free Time (bromances, even)!

Stella Glow arrives in North America on November 17.

Prismic Studios recently took the project “Gnomes vs. Fairies” to Kickstarter in hopes of securing funds for its final round of development. Founder Dano Kablamo has since shared confirmation that the game is targeting Wii U.

Gnomes vs. Fairies is described as “a single-player, high fantasy, action-adventure game”. Additionally, it features “movement similar to Mario 64 and inventory ranking system inspired by Legend of Zelda”.

Here’s the official overview:

You are the last free Gnome and it’s all up to you. Forget everything you learned about fairies from your storybooks, these fairies are nasty, sneaky, and mean, and they will stop at nothing to enslave your people. If you fail, the Gnomes will be no more!

It’s time to buckle your boots, wield your sword, and tromp far away from your familiar garden. The fairies are coming! Take on slithering cobras, mushroom monsters, Kittybats and Gorphs to prove yourself worthy to face the Fairy King and his 5 evil daughters. Journey to worlds most gnomes only dream about to free your brothers and sisters from their cages and rank up your powers for a five-gnome spree of magic and mayhem.

It’s the Gnomes vs the malicious Fairy King and his hordes of nasty minions. You stand alone, swords in hand, the last hope for all of the Gnome-kin.

You can find Gnomes vs. Fairies on Kickstarter here. The campaign needs to hit $30,000 within the next ten days to secure funding. Kablamo hopes to still bring his title to the Wii U eShop if the Kickstarter fails, but it’ll be much more difficult to do so.

The first Yo-kai Watch game is heading to North America next month. But of course, Japan already received the sequel long ago, which is actually comprised of three different versions.

Level-5 is now thinking about how to approach Yo-kai Watch 2’s western release. Speaking with Nintendo World Report at the New York Comic-Con, chief operating officer Yukari Hayakawa said:

“One is called Ganzo, Honke, and Shinuchi so there’s actually three titles and we are still kind of, we haven’t made the decision on which one to release in the U.S., whether it’s all three or just one, whether it’s all physical or digital.”

Hayakawa also said that amiibo support for the Yo-kai Watch series is a possibility.
