The Kirby: Planet Robobot commercials continue, with a new one coming from the Play Nintendo YouTube page. Check it out below.

Update (6/8): Aaaand all of the listings are gone again. We’ll be ceasing our coverage of this until E3 next week!


Update (6/6): Runbow 3DS is back up on Amazon. The Wii U version is still missing. Also, the Tumblestone Xbox One page has now removed the Wii U boxart, so the mystery there continues.


Original (6/3): A couple of notable listings went up for physical indie titles on Amazon yesterday. The retailer listed Runbow for Wii U and 3DS, and had a Wii U boxart up for Tumblestone (which was on an Xbox One listing page, strangely).

All of these have since been pulled from Amazon. With Runbow, 13AM Games said that we’ll be hearing more about the game at E3. One of the artists behind Tumblestone also indicated that the developer’s title is indeed getting a retail release. This might have been a case of some misinformation floating around (13AM Games indicated as such) as well as some early listings that weren’t supposed to go live just yet.

Thanks to Denjin Getcha, we have a bunch of new footage from Taiko Drum Master: Dokodon! Mystery Adventure. Check out a full recording of their live stream below.

Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns can now be pre-loaded in Japan. It requires 5,393 blocks of free space, or 674MB.

Marvelous is also running a special discount in Japan. Between June 8 and July 6, the digital version’s asking price is 4,838 yen. It’ll go up to the standard 5,393 yen pricing after this.

Also, just like Story of Seasons: Trio of Towns, pre-loading for Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games for Wii U is live on the Japanese eShop. That one requires 2,863MB of free space.
