3DS

Update: Nintendo of America and NOE confirm the news as well. Summer release. It’s being rebuilt from the ground up for 3DS.

Donkey Kong Country Returns is coming to the 3DS. Just announced on the Japanese Nintendo Direct, the game will be released this summer. A 3D movie will be available on the Japanese eShop today. The game will be available on the Japanese eShop or at retail.



Nintendo and Capcom have teamed up for two Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate bundles in Europe. Each will include either a Wii U or 3DS and a copy of Ultimate on their respective platforms. The Circle Pad Pro will also be available on the same launch day.


Mario’s next sports title is 3DS-bound. Mario Golf is coming to the portable this summer. Camelot, as expected, is developing the title.


Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon isn’t the only Luigi game releasing this year. Nintendo has announced a new Mario & Luigi title for the 3DS, marking the series’ first appearance on the 3DS.

First footage is currently being shown on today’s Nintendo Direct. We’ll have it hear shortly.

The new Mario & Luigi title launches this summer.


Each presentation will begin at 9 AM ET / 6 AM PT. Runtimes are as follows:

North America – 37 minutes
Europe – likely around a half hour
Japan – 20 minutes – “Luigi special”


The Pokémon Company International has confirmed “Sylveon” as the English name of the new Eevee evolution featured in Pokemon X/Y. More details about the Pokemon and how it evolves from Eevee will be announced later in 2013. Take a look at the first screenshots of Sylveon above.


Nintendo’s YouTube channels have leaked out some (if not all) of the titles set to be featured during tomorrow’s North American Nintendo Direct.

The company’s 3DS channel lists three private videos, which are actually Fire Emblem: Awakening, LEGO City: Undercover – The Chase Begins, and Animal Crossing: New Leaf. Thumbnails of each trailer were located through a bit of detective work.

Over at the Nintendo Direct YouTube channel, the presentation in full is set to private. But thumbnails from this video were uncovered as well, showing Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon, Satoru Iwata dressed with a Luigi hat, and Reggie Fils-Aime.

Nothing was located in the Wii U channel, for those who may be wondering.

So keep those expectations in check. It doesn’t sound like we’ll be getting any major announcements like last time, though maybe there will still be a surprise or two. It’ll be interesting to see if Nintendo of Europe/Japan feature additional/different content. I can’t see the Japanese stream talking much about Animal Crossing or Fire Emblem, given that the two titles have been out for some time.
