It was clear that Metroid Prime: Federation Force would have some sort of amiibo support thanks to the game’s boxart. Nintendo has now shared first details about what’s actually included.

In Metroid Prime: Federation Force, you can scan different amiibo to add a paint job to your Mech in Blast Ball matches. You can see what Mario and Bowser bring to the table in this post.

Samus and Zero Suit Samus also have a specific use. You can tape either of the two for “helpful in-game upgrades.”

Here’s a new Japanese video showing off Samus and Zero Suit Samus amiibo support in Federation Force:

Later this year, Natsume will be bringing out Harvest Moon: Skytree Village. It’s the second game in the series following the split with Marvelous over the Bokujo Monogatari titles, which Natsume previously localized. Harvest Moon now refers to the games that Natsume makes internally.

Polygon spoke with Natsume vice president of operations Graham Markay about Skytree Valley at E3 last week and the franchise as a whole. He commented on how the series is constantly evolving, the divide with Story of Seasons, and more.

Head past the break for some of Markay’s responses. You can read Polygon’s full article here.

Initially, River City: Tokyo Rumble was only going to be distributed as a digital title. But while an eShop release is still planned, Natsume vice president of operations Graham Markay has now confirmed to Polygon that a limited edition physical release is in the works as well.

Markay told the site:

“[Tokyo Rumble] was going to be digital-only. You don’t have to sell to retail or try to explain or try to get the physical product placed on store shelves [with online exclusive releases]. That gives you the ability to take a few more chances.”

“When we announced [Tokyo Rumble], there was an outcry of, ‘It better be physical.’ So we’re going to do a limited edition physical release.”

River City: Tokyo Rumble is scheduled for release this year.
