Famitsu shares new Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition details
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
The latest issue of Famitsu has another update on Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition. Thanks to the magazine, we have several new details about the game.
Players will be able to “power up” and “change form” of Mario and friends in Toad houses, which are located on the world map. This requires a specific item obtained from a defeated enemy or from a question block. Not only does a form change alter the visuals of the character, but abilities are raised as well. Synthesizing two characters is also possible. One of the characters turns into experience points, while the other is lost in the process.
Bayonetta 2 director reiterates interest in continuing the franchise
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 29 Comments
Bayonetta 2 director Yusuke Hashimoto has once again expressed interest in returning to the series for another game. That news comes from the latest issue of GamesMaster, which features a brief interview with Hashimoto.
In one question, GamesMaster asks about game sequels he’d like to work on. Hashimoto pointed to Bayonetta and how he’d like to create Bayonetta 3 – or even a spin-off.
Hashimoto said:
A sequel to a Platinum title… I’d have to say Bayonetta 3. I have all kinds of ideas in my head for how to expand the world of Bayonetta in even more sequels, or maybe a spin-off!
This isn’t the first time Hashimoto has talked about making another Bayonetta-related title. Last June, before Bayonetta 2 even hit store shelves, he spoke about a desire to continue “nurturing” the IP. We’ve also heard from Hideki Kamiya (the director of Bayonetta 1) about wanting to make a spin-off for 3DS featuring Jeanne.

The Pinball Arcade’s Wii U version in doubt again
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Just a few days ago, we heard about FarSight Studios’ plan to bring The Pinball Arcade to New 3DS. But there is another Nintendo version that has long been in development – that is, the Wii U edition.
Some recent comments made by The Pinball Arcade lead designer Bobby King suggested that the Wii U version could still be on the way… but perhaps not. Check out this statement from The Pinball Arcade support team:
Right now we have no concrete plans to bring our game to the Wii U. It’s still in the cards but no definite groundwork has yet been laid out.
That doesn’t sound too encouraging, sadly!
Rumor: Rayman coming to Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS as DLC
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors, Wii U | 103 Comments
Are Nintendo and Bandai Namco working on another DLC character for Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS? That’s what the latest rumor suggests.
Rumors about Rayman appearing in Smash Bros. first appeared on 4chan, as several alleged images surfaced earlier today. That has now been followed up with a brief video – though Rayman still hasn’t been shown in battle.
I’ve been trying to take a “wait and see” approach with this round of speculation. Since the video above has surfaced, it does seem more likely that the rumor holds true. But again: nothing is confirmed. And as I always tend to say, maintain some skepticism unless Nintendo makes an announcement.

Nintendo TVii cancelled in Europe
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 14 Comments
Nintendo TVii is no longer happening in Europe. A message posted to the official Nintendo of Europe website confirms the cancellation.
In its notice, Nintendo cites the “extremely complex nature of localising multiple television services across a diverse range of countries with varied licensing systems” as the reason for not releasing the Wii U application in European territories.
Nintendo’s full message reads:
At Nintendo of Europe, we continue to challenge ourselves to develop a range of entertaining experiences for all to enjoy. Due to the extremely complex nature of localising multiple television services across a diverse range of countries with varied licensing systems, regrettably we have taken the decision not to launch the Nintendo TVii service within the European region. Although on this occasion we did not anticipate such challenges, we will always strive to develop a range of entertaining experiences for all our users to enjoy.
With this in mind, Nintendo of Europe has launched the Nintendo Anime Channel, a new video-on-demand service on Nintendo 3DS which offers users the chance to stream anime series from the likes of Pokémon, Kirby, and Inazuma Eleven. New content will be added regularly and access to this service is granted simply by downloading a free application from Nintendo eShop.
