Koei Tecmo is bringing two more games to the 3DS. Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2 as well as Nobunaga’s Ambition DS are planned for the platform. Both games require some explanation.

Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2, despite the name, is a remake of Romance of the Three Kingdoms III – a game from the PC/Mega Drive/Super NES era. It features new scenarios, 100 new military commanders, and an editor that allows players to edit commanders and cities.

Nobunaga’s Ambition DS is a remake of the eighth title in the series, Nobunaga’s Ambition: Tales of the Storms. It’ll come with two new scenarios, 100 additional commanders, an easier-to-play interface, and eight more save slots. Making matters more confusing, the 3DS version will be called “Nobunaga’s Ambition 2”.

Koei Tecmo is bringing Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2 and Nobunaga’s Ambition 2 to Japan on August 6. A Premium Box for Nobunaga’s Ambition 2 features the game, a soundtrack CD (26 tracks,) original micro-fiber cloth pouch, and special stickers for 6,800 yen plus tax. There’s also a Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2 Premium Box planned, which includes the soundtrack CD, micro-fiber pouch, and a 30th anniversary sticker set. Consumers can purchase a twin pack containing both games for 8,800 yen, and also includes a pack of 12 poster cards for Romance of the Three Kingdoms 2.

The Splatoon hype continues as Inside-Games just announced via Twitter that plushies based off of the squids in Splatoon are heading to Japan in late July.

These awesome plushies will come in orange and green and will be both be priced at 2,800 yen.

As someone who’s excited for Splatoon beyond comprehension, and wants as much Splatoon merchandise as possible, this is really exciting to see. Let’s hope these make their way to the west and we see even more plushies later down the line! Maybe some Inklings and Octolings too? Let’s just hope these are ink-free.

Splatoon releases on May 29th, 2015

Last year, Mega64 worked with Nintendo for the company’s E3 2014 video. It turns out that the same can be said of this year’s version as well.

Mega64 has now uploaded the official video to its YouTube channel, and the description states that they “helped behind the scenes in making Nintendo’s E3 2015 announcement video.”

Mega64 also wrote on its website:

You may have noticed that Nintendo released a brand new video today promoting their plans for E3 2015! And in case you’re wondering… yes, the Mega64 crew did help in creating the video (as if you couldn’t tell by the sound of my gnarled singing voice). While we weren’t really in spotlight of this piece, we still worked behind the scenes to bring Nintendo’s big announcements to life.

I’m a tiny bit surprised! Since the Mega64 logo didn’t pop up at the end of the video Nintendo uploaded yesterday, I assumed that they were’t involved. Guess I was wrong!
