Freedom Planet was originally going to land on the Wii U eShop today. The game suffered a delay, but it sounds like it was a very minor one as it’s now rescheduled for release next week.

Developer Stevie DiDuro announced on Twitter that Freedom Planet is coming to Wii U on August 13. That’s next Thursday, so the title was only pushed back a few days.

Chris Pranger, who works at Nintendo Treehouse, appeared on the latest episode of the Part-Time Gamer podcast. Pranger shared a few interesting details about his position his position as well as working at the company as a whole.

You’ll find a summary of information from the podcast below. For the full discussion, visit this link.

– Nintendo’s media policy has recently changed regarding employees being more open about talking about their work but not spoilers or anything
– He is the voice of the first level boss in Star Fox Zero; also working on the game
– Talks about NOA using employees as voiceovers for fun and cheap work
– Nintendo has a game library where employees can check out games for all systems in order to be well-versed in gaming; this is how he played Bioshock Infinite
– Sakurai kills himself for his games; he is very sensitive to fan feedback
– Localization costs a ton of money and often the vocal minority of fans who want a game localized isn’t a large enough consumer base to justify the localization costs
– The original Xenoblade is an example he gives of this
– Nintendo of Europe ate the cost on that project

Back in June, the UK Super Mario Maker website stated that the game would come packed with 100 pre-made courses. This mention was soon removed from the official page.

The same Super Mario Maker site has been updated once again, and the blurb now mentions something slightly different. It says that the title “will feature dozens of sample courses that are directly playable, and can help to inspire players in creating their own.”

I suppose it’s still possible that Super Mario Maker contains 100 courses. The wording is unclear though – that’s for sure. There’s a chance that we won’t know of the final level count until around launch time.

Splatoon will be undergoing a bit of maintenance on Wednesday. That makes sense, given that the big update is scheduled to arrive on the same day.

Splatoon’s online functions will be down starting at 5:50 PM PT / 8:50 PM ET. Everything will return at 7 PM PT / 10 PM ET. That’s probably when the update will launch!
