Explore Luigi’s Imagination in a Hilarious Nintendo 3DS Adventure

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– The Year of Luigi is going strong, and the celebration of the 30th anniversary of everyone’s favorite younger brother continues with Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, available exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS system on Aug. 11. Mario & Luigi: Dream Team puts players inside the head of Luigi … literally! In the game, players journey into the imaginative dreams of Luigi to help save Pi’illo Island from a mysterious villain. Using the touch screen on the Nintendo 3DS system, players can manipulate a sleeping Luigi to make fantastical things happen in the dream world, such as altering the dream world environment and growing Luigi to gargantuan size. In his dreams, Luigi also has amazing powers called Luiginary Attacks, such as spawning hundreds of Luigis to form towers, giant hammers and wrecking balls to do battle with a host of nightmares.


Teyon will be discounting Groove Heaven on the 3DS eShop next week. Starting on August 15, you’ll be able to pick up the game for $2.99 / €2.99. The sale will last for a full month.

Update 3: With more scans coming in, we’ve removed the rumor tag and are classifying this as official news.

Update 2: More details:

– MBlaziken has Speed Boost
– MLucario has Adaptability
– MMawile has Huge Power
– MAbsol has Magic Bounce
– MAmpharos is Electric/Dragon and has Mold Breaker
– Mawile is also re-typed Steel/Fairy
– Dedenne is an Antennae Pokemon, knows Pick-Up or Cheek Pouches
– Horubii is a Digging Pokemon, knows Pick-Up or Cheek Pouches
– Koruni: gym leader who holds the key to Mega Evolutions
– Torchic being distributed with Mega Stone allowing it to become Mega Blaziken, October 12-January 15th via WiFi

Update: Assuming this is the real deal, the new Mewtwo form is a part of the “Mega” category. Blaziken, Absol, Lucario, Ampharos, and Mawile have these forms as well.

Gogoat’s pre-evolution is said to be Meekuru. CoroCoro, supposedly, also reveals the electric/fairy-type Dedenne and the normal rabbit “Horubii”.

Apparent scans from the latest issue of CoroCoro have started to leak, showing “Mega” forms of existing Pokemon as well as a few more brand new creatures. Leaks have just started to take place, so stay tuned for details…

Attracting people’s attention isn’t so easy these days, Nintendo president Satoru Iwata believes. More information is circulating than ever before, which places a limit on the ability to pay attention.

Iwata told Toyo Keizai:

What I feel most now is that getting the attention of customers in video games is much more difficult than before. With all of the information that people have access to now, the ability to pay attention is limited. These big differences occur, whether we like it or not.


Let’s take a look at the original piece of artwork for Zelda: A Link Between Worlds:

And here’s the latest image sent out by Nintendo today:

See any differences? Link certain looks different, as does his shield and background wall somewhat.

What do you prefer? The original drawing or the latest design?

Along with Zelda: Wind Waker HD, series producer Eiji Aonuma spoke about Zelda: A Link Between Worlds in a Miiverse post. Aonuma discussed the two worlds and kingdoms in the game as well as the item shop that will have more importance than ever before.

Nintendo has filed a lawsuit against HackYourConsole.com, it was announced today. This is yet another step in the company’s battle against piracy.

HackYourConsole sells unauthorized Nintendo titles as well as devices/services that circumvent security implemented in Wii and DS systems. The person in charge of the site additionally modifies Wii consoles to allow the play of illegal software for a certain fee.

HackYourConsole also intended to distribute 3DS Gateway cards (which act similarly to R4 devices) to more easily pave the way for illegally downloaded games. Nintendo noted in its announcement, “Game copying devices, such as the R4, severely undermine the sales of video games created by thousands of developers.”
