Nintendo teasing secret Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS character in World Hobby Fair flyer?
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors, Wii U | 63 Comments
Super Smash Bros. for 3DS is making its playable debut in Japan this weekend. The game is appearing at the World Hobby Fair, which ends tomorrow.
One attendee picked up the flyer above that seems to hint at another secret character in Smash Bros. for Wii U/3DS. Notice the question mark next to the Mii fighter on the top right.
With the World Hobby Fair ending tomorrow, could we be getting another character reveal? If nothing else, it could be a sign that someone new will be confirmed in the somewhat near future.

Rumor has it that Nintendo has started to sell Super Mario 3D World in a red case, much like Mario Kart 8. The shot above was taken at one Target store in North America. Is anyone else seeing the same sort of thing?

Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, Rumors | 2 Comments
A “Mario White Edition 3DS XL” seems to be releasing in North America, based on a new listing on Play-Asia. The system is listed for a July release with a $299 price point. New Super Mario Bros. 2 is included in the package, as is – strangely – Pro Evolution Soccer 2011.
The design above may look familiar to some of you. It was one of three unique systems released by iQue in China back in December 2012.

Nintendo 3DS Guide: Louvre has also been available on the eShop. Alternatively, you could buy the software by actually visiting the museum.
A listing on Amazon France now suggests that Nintendo 3DS Guide: Louvre is seeing a widespread retail release in Europe. As is listed on the site, you’ll apparently be able to purchase the game on July 4 for €14.99.

Sguerra Design’s title Drible Button Football might be coming to Wii U. The game has only been announced for mobile devices thus far, but it’s been rated for Nintendo’s console (as well as PS4, Xbox One, PS Vita, PC, and Mac) in Brazil. We’ll see how things develop.
Europe getting Bayonetta 1 disc with Bayonetta 2 retail release?
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U | 7 Comments
There’s been a bit of confusion surrounding how Nintendo will be distributing Bayonetta 1 when Bayonetta 2 releases. We initially heard that this offer would only be available with retail copies in the states, though it was later clarified that the eShop release is also included.
And yesterday, Nintendo revealed that Bayonetta 2 would indeed ship with a separate disc in Japan. This seems to be the case in Europe as well.
Check out this excerpt from Amazon UK’s Bayonetta 2 listing:
Bayonetta comes packed in with the purchase of every retail packaged version of Bayonetta 2.
At this point, I have no clue what’s happening. Hopefully Nintendo will make things absolutely clear soon.

Word on the street is that Splatoon will include voice chat functionality. That information apparently comes from a Nintendo representative, but hasn’t been officially confirmed just yet. Still encouraging to hear in any case!

Rumor: Canada not getting Pokemon Omega Ruby / Alpha Sapphire with the US release
Posted on 10 years ago by Jarop(@gamrah) in 3DS, News, Rumors | 7 Comments
A user over on NeoGAF has noticed some obscure wording in a couple of the press releases for the upcoming Pokemon titles pertaining to the release of the game in the United States and Canada. The Canadian ORAS site has a listing of November 2014 vs. the US site which has a concrete November 21st release. Additionally, many of the press releases regarding the release have specified that release date is coming to the United States against the usual inclusion of the region. Check out the posts below and let us know what you think:

In the press releases I’ve got, they have rather emphasised the date as being for the US
Tuesdays:
E3 has begun and The Pokémon Company International just announced that Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, which both take place in the beautiful Hoenn region, are launching in the United States on November 21, 2014.
Wednesdays:
Sableye is a Pokémon that was first discovered in the Hoenn region, which is now confirmed as the location for Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire, both launching for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems in the United States on November 21, 2014.
Todays:
The Pokémon Company International and Nintendo announced more details today about the new Pokémon Omega Ruby and Pokémon Alpha Sapphire video games, launching in the United States November 21, 2014, for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems.
Many people thought this was an error, but my friend at PLDH got this response from TPCi earlier today
So it’s worrying. It appears Canada and Europe are excluded from the worldwide launch.
Call of Duty: Advanced Warfare has an E3 listing for Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Jarop(@gamrah) in News, Rumors, Wii U | 3 Comments
For those worried about the state of Call of Duty on Nintendo platforms, it seems Sledgehammer is looking to bring the latest iteration to Wii U, at least according to their E3 listing. The series’ has never done well on Nintendo hardware traditionally but this move shows that it appears to still be a viable move for whatever reason. We will know if this rumor holds true when E3 rolls around.
Oxygen Media astroturfing Fit Music for Wii U on Miiverse?
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Rumors, Wii U eShop | 10 Comments
Fit Music for Wii U arrived on the North American Wii U eShop this Thursday. Unfortunately, it’s not very good.
Oxygen Media might be making things worse for themselves by astroturfing on Miiverse. At this point, many believe that the company is promoting Fit Music for Wii U in a secretive way and trying to marketing the game virally.
Check out the above comment for example. That comes from Mario Spiniello… who just so happens to be “a multimedia specialist” for Oxygen Media. There are sadly plenty of similar comments like this, most of which come from Italy – where the company is based.
I can’t see this ending well!
