Nintendo will be carrying out a bit of maintenance on Wii Sports Club tomorrow. Between 6:15 AM PT and 7:00 AM PT, online play, rankings, and other online aspects will be unavailable.

Could this have something to do with tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct? Perhaps Wii Sports Club will be receiving golf!

Namco Bandai trademarks “Lost Land Adventure”

Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 1 Comment

Namco Bandai has registered a new trademark for “Lost Land Adventure”. The name was filed in the US database for use with video games.

Siliconera speculates that the filing could be One Piece-related. Perhaps this is a sign of One Piece: Unlimited World Red localization?

Nintendo has announced a Nintendo Direct presentation for both North America, Europe, and Japan. The presentation will be held at 9 AM ET / 6 AM PT.

According to the Big N, Wii U and 3DS titles due out by spring 2014 will be showcased. That likely means we’ll be seeing more of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Kirby Triple Deluxe, and more.

Mega Man is celebrating his 26th birthday today. The series’ very first game launched in Japan way back on December 17, 1987 for the Famicom. Mega Man has had a rough going these past few years, but we still love the Blue Bomber!
