Not one, but two James Bond games are on the way.

System 3 has first announced James Pond: Codename Robocod – a remake of the original. It’s due out early next year on a whole bunch of platforms, including the Wii U and 3DS.

On consoles and handhelds, Codename Robocod will be a re-imagining of the original. You can expect overhauled visuals and audio “built from the ground up for each format”.

In other news, the promised Kickstarter for a brand new James Pond has launched. You can find it here. The team is looking to raise £100,000, and systems are included as stretch goals.

Along with today’s screenshot, Sakurai passed along the following message on Miiverse:

“Pardon us for a sec! Hop!”


Scribblenauts Unmasked has been receiving a great deal of attention on Wii U, but it’s easy forget that the game is also in development for the 3DS. Both versions are similar, though there will be a few differences between the two.

On 3DS, Scribblenauts Unmasked supports a special StreetPass feature. Senior producer Caleb Arseneaux revealed to us that players will be able to unlock special costumes, which give Maxwell super powers.

According to Arseneaux:

“3DS has a unique StreetPass feature which allows you to unlock special costumes for Maxwell when you use StreetPass. I won’t give anything away, but these costumes give Maxwell super powers just like the characters in the game.”


Today’s news of former Nintendo president Hiroshi Yamauchi’s passing was recognized across the industry. Rare, Capcom UK, Microsoft’s Major Nelson, and plenty of others shared a few words on Twitter in honor of his memory.

Plenty of comments were made outside of the gaming scene as well. The Seattle Mariners (previously owned by Yamauchi, now owned by Nintendo of America) published a statement, and Zelda Williams (Robin Williams’ daughter, named after Nintendo’s legendary series) left a message on her Twitter account as well.
