Sonic Boom coming to Japan after all
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii U | 0 comments
A few months ago, SEGA said that Sonic Boom wouldn’t be coming to Japan. Those plans have since changed.
The latest Famitsu leaks reveal that Sonic Boom is indeed heading to Japan… as “Sonic Toon”. Both versions – Wii U and 3DS – will be available sometime this winter.
Player finds new Super Mario Bros. infinite lives glitch
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 4 Comments
Super Mario Bros. has been around for nearly thirty years. At this point, most would have expected that the game’s major glitches and infinite lives tricks would have been discovered. But apparently not!
As shown in the video above, one player has seemingly managed to uncover a new glitch leading to a constant stream of 1-ups.
Here’s how the technique is described:
First, you must first take player one’s Mario to the second level of the game and throw away your first life. With Luigi taking over, player two must traverse all the way to World 5-2 and find the hidden beanstalk block halfway through the stage. Once there, Luigi must start climbing the vines, however, he must await – and take on the chin – an incoming projectile from one of the Hammer Bros. Upon being hit, once player one resumes control of Mario, the beanstalk from World 5-2 will start growing in World 1-2, providing all you need to infinitely kick shells for unlimited bonuses.

Armillo might be hitting the European Wii U eShop on July 3
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
It’s been a long wait for Armillo, but the game is almost ready for release. It may only be a couple of weeks away – at least in Europe – based on a new listing on the eShop.
If the Wii U eShop is correct, Armillo will launch in Europe on July 3. One would also think that the North American launch would take place at around the same time.
