Last year, Nintendo offered digital-only rewards on Club Nintendo for those who reached Elite Status (Platinum/Gold Status). This was quite a big change since, in the past, we saw gifts like a figurine, Majora’s Mask soundtrack, and more.

It’s looking like the 2015 Elite Status rewards will once again be digital-only. With the closure of Club Nintendo on the horizon, I suppose it’s not entirely surprising.

Check out this blurb from the official Club Nintendo discontinuation notice:

In order to reach Elite Status, you must earn 300 Coins (for Gold Status) or 600 Coins (for Platinum Status) between July 1, 2014 and March 31, 2015. Members who reach Elite Status will be able to choose a downloadable game from a wide selection of Nintendo 3DS and Wii U titles. Your free Elite Status gift will be available between April 1 and April 30, 2015. A list of the Elite Status 2015 gifts will be posted here once announced.

Does the image above look familiar? It should. We posted something like it yesterday. There is now one major change though: the text on top says “Games coming for Nintendo 3DS” as opposed to “Games coming in 2015 on Nintendo 3DS”.

If you missed out on our original story, the image comes from a Nintendo of Australia email, which was reissued today since “there was an error in the listed release dates of Nintendo 3DS titles.” Unfortunately, that means Fire Emblem isn’t confirmed for a 2015 launch in the west after all. I’d still say it’s very possible that it happens, but we no longer have a “confirmation”.

Nintendo will be appearing at the first PAX South event in San Antonio, Texas later this week, the company announced today.

Attendees will be able to go hands on with the New 3DS XL before it launches on February 13. Additionally, Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D, Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate, and Super Smash Bros. for 3DS will be playable.

Nintendo is celebrating the upcoming launch of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D with a “72-Hour Mask Challenge”. This asks fans to create their own personalized masks. More information will be published on Nintendo of America’s Twitter account.

Also tying in to promote Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D, fans will be able to take photos with a real-life replica of the Majora’s Mask and receive paper versions to wear around the convention (while supplies last). Those who come dressed in costumes inspired by The Legend of Zelda will be able to bypass lines to get hands-on time with the 3DS game.

PAX South runs between January 23 and January 25. Head past the break for today’s complete announcement.

505 Games appears to be bringing Terraria to Nintendo platforms, based on GameFly listings. The retailer has Terraria listed for both Wii U and 3DS.

GameFly lists an October 31 release date for both versions. However, this is likely a placeholder.

Terraria was once thought to be out of the question for Wii U and 3DS. I wonder what changed!

In the recent Bravely Second live-stream we learned that Edea will be returning in the upcoming title, Bravely Second.

Now in this week’s issue of Famitsu we see a glimpse of what she will look like as well as some additional details about how she has evolved.

She appears to have grown up slightly as the artwork is showing her as being a little older.

Edea is now the leader of the Imperial Guard Knights, and will now be one of the main characters.

It is unknown at this time if she will be a completely playable character this time, she is said to be returning to “judge” the Asterisk holders from the previous game.

Famitsu also revealed that there will be a new “Barter Sub Scenario System”.

There will be additional information about the Patissier job in next week’s issue.
