Kirby’s Blowout Blast was absent from E3, but the game is still on the way – and it’s arriving very soon. Nintendo just put out a new trailer that reveals a July 4 release date.

Here’s the video in question:

Kirby’s Blowout Blast hasn’t been dated for the west yet. However, we wouldn’t be surprised to see it releasing next week in North America and Europe as well.

SteamWorld Dig 2 planned for late summer / early fall

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News, Switch eShop | 7 Comments

Image & Form announced SteamWorld Dig 2 earlier this year. The game is “pretty much finished now,” but the studio will be taking “a few more months to polish the game to the level you all expect.” It’s now planned for late summer / early fall.

Image & Form wrote on its blog today:

“When we plan the release for any SteamWorld game, we always want to finish as soon as possible so everyone can play and and have fun with it. But at the same time we want to create something new. It’s hard to estimate how long that’s going to take and at what point whatever we consider to be new is done. More often than not problems take a lot longer to tackle than anticipated. These extra months will take pressure off our team and give us enough time to give you the game you deserve.
We’re going on vacation now, and will reveal the final release date some time after that. And then we’ll talk price, too.”

Finally, SteamWorld Dig 2 isn’t coming to Wii U, but it sounds like Image & Form will be supporting 3DS:

“Even though we love Wii U and had great success on the console, there’s no denying that Nintendo Switch has firmly taken its place by now. For that simple reason, we will no longer make new Wii U games. Nintendo 3DS and PlayStation Vita are still important to us. We won’t talk more about portable versions today, but rest assured we have not forgotten where we came from.”

Final wave of new badges in Nintendo Badge Arcade added, last message and credits

Posted on 6 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 14 Comments

It’s the end of an era for Nintendo Badge Arcade as the final wave of new badges were added in today. The app will still continue, but the age of new content is over. Old badges will be recycled going forward.

As someone who has been covering Nintendo Badge Arcade since the beginning, it’s a bit bad. But on the bright side, Nintendo went out with a bang. A last message was shared – posted in the video below – that showcases the different staff who contributed to the app.

To mark the end of Nintendo Badge Arcade, two free plays will be given out next week each day.
