Just like in Europe, North America will be receiving a collector’s edition for Bravely Second. This includes a 250-page art book plus a ten-song soundtrack. You’ll naturally get the game as well!

Last week, a Bravely Second demo was announced for Europe. Nintendo gave the same treatment to North American fans today, confirming that the download is planned for the states as well. This will be a 10-hour demo in which bonuses will carry over to the full game.

During a Nintendo press event that is currently ongoing, several RPGs were showcased. One of these was Dragon Quest VII.

According to Nintendo, Dragon Quest VII is “basically a brand new game” on 3DS. It’ll feature entirely new writing for its western release. Additionally, random encounters have been removed, and you’ll see enemies on the map. A story summary feature and StreetPass feature that lets you gain tablets will also be included.

The same presenter also mentioned that Dragon Quest VIII will have a top-notch localization.

GameXplain has posted another video with 30 minutes of footage from Minecraft: Story Mode – Episode 1’s Wii U build. Check it out below.

Circle Entertainment posted two concrete pieces of news on its Twitter account today. One concerns a title we haven’t heard before, while the other is about a release in one particular region.

Toy Defense is now confirmed to be coming to 3DS. It’s already done, and it’ll be launching soon. This is likely the tower defense game that hit mobile platforms several months ago.

Circle Entertainment also confirmed today that The Legend of Dark Witch 2 is approved in Europe, and should be available next month. It’s accompanied by several 3DS themes.

Lastly, we also have a small tease Circle Entertainment. The publisher mentioned is will release a “Japanese adventure story game”, which is already approved by Nintendo in North America.

Minecraft: Story Mode – Episode 1 is finally hitting the eShop on Thursday. View some footage from the Wii U download below.

Update (1/19): Bumped to the top. This is now at a bigger discount – $16 instead of $7.


Original (1/16): Prima’s guide for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD can now be pre-ordered on Amazon. You can reserve the collector’s edition here, and standard version here. If you pre-order the first one, you can save $7.

Our Canadian friends can pre-order here. If you’re in the UK, visit this link. There don’t appear to be any savings, however.

Here’s a look at the standard guide’s cover by the way:

Temple of Yog will be receiving a healthy number of updates. Along with additional Epochs featuring new content, CHUDCHUD Industries has already wrapped up a patch that will bring the game up to version 1.1.

What’s included in the update, you ask? More quests, a new enemy type, improved AI, and other fixes/additions are planned. Version 1.1 has already been submitted for Nintendo’s approval, and should be out during the middle of February.

Head past the break for a full rundown of the upcoming update.

Aperion Cyberstorm is going to support a whole bunch of controllers. The Wii Balance Board might be the only exception, which I don’t believe players will be displeased about!

Speaking with Nintendo Life, developer aPriori Digital went over the different control options included in Aperion Cyberstorm. One of these is simply using the Wii Remote for “something like a golf grip.”

Here’s the full explanation from aPriori:

Regarding controllers, we’ve tried to support every official option as far as possible — sorry, no balance board…

As we said last year, the game will support a Wii Remote without an attached Nunchuk. We figured there are a lot lying around or cheap to buy, so getting five players together should be simpler than other options. When we got down to it, we realised the logistics of mapping a twin stick shooter to that device.
