Find Nogami and Eguchi’s answers below. A second portion of the interview is on the way, so look for that soon as well.

Pirate Pop Plus will launch for Wii U and New 3DS on October 20, 13AM Games announced today. The game will cost $4.99, and cross-buy will be supported. If you purchase one version, you’ll get the other at no extra cost.

Pirate Pop Plus is an 8-bit action game with Game Boy-era graphics. It’ll offer a “touch of Buster Bros (Pang Adventures), a bevy of weapons and power ups, and gravity-altering mechanics”. The main mechanic involves building chains and combos to achieve high scores while battling the Bubble Pirate and having to work through gravity that can turn you upside down or side to side at a moment’s notice.

View the launch trailer for Pirate Pop Plus below.

Nintendo is preparing a brand new Animal Crossing: New Leaf update for the fall. It’s a significant one, as numerous features will be added. The primary addition is amiibo functionality, as you’ll be able to unlock new content by scanning figures and cards.

Another new feature was revealed on the Japanese Animal Crossing Twitter account tonight. After applying the patch, you’ll be able to take photos with what Nintendo is calling the “amiibo camera”. Unfortunately, that’s all we really know about it currently.
