Tiny Galaxy won’t be out on the Wii U eShop until next week, but the game’s file size has already come in. You’ll need 123 MB free in order to download the game. Definitely not a huge title, but not the smallest eShop download either!

Amazon is now taking pre-orders for Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets, which was announced for 3DS yesterday. Put in a reservation here.

Amazon lists a $29.99 price point, and that should be final. There’s also a November 3 release date that appears to be more tentative than final, though it could be accurate.

One other thing to mention: Amazon’s listing says that it’s the “Standard Edition”. Does that mean we’ll be seeing a limited edition of Gravity Falls: Legend of the Gnome Gemulets? Only time will tell!

The Play Nintendo YouTube account is kicking off a new Splatoon-centric series called “Splatoon Splatter Center”. The first episode, focusing on multiplayer, can be seen below.

Although it should hardly come as a surprise, Natsume has officially confirmed plans to release Harvest Moon: More Friends of Mineral Town on the Wii U Virtual Console. The original Friends of Mineral Town hit the North American eShop last June.

Natsume previously said in April that it had eight GBA games planned for the Wii U Virtual Console. Friends of Mineral Town and its sequel were practically shoo-ins once that statement was made.

ZaciSa’s Last Stand is receiving a third update in the very near future. ZeNfA Productions submitted the patch to Nintendo, and it’s estimated for release in early August. That applies to all regions.

Below are the official notes for ZaciSa’s Last Stand:

  • The game has been improved upon to allow for even smoother experience. Even more crazy moments, like multiple Tesla Coils and Triple Enemy spawns barely lag at all.
  • The maps: PING 1.5+, BLOK DROP U & Pollux System all have their starting money increased to allow for a better experience.
  • Bot Changes:
    • Tesla Coil now has slightly increased power.
    • Drone now has slightly increased power.
  • Bot Upgrades: Costs for upgrades are at a lower rate to allow for more upgrades. This only effects late stage upgrades, early level upgrades are still the same.
  • Game Over Changes
    • Money no longer provides as big of bonus to your score as it used to.
    • Max score bonus from leftover money is now capped as well.
    • Outstanding loans no longer hurt your final score as much either.
    • These changes provide some fairness to the game scores.

ZaciSa’s Last Stand originally launched last July. Since then, the game has been updated with improvements and new features.

Interested in taking another look at Super Mario Maker or Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer? Nintendo UK has you covered!

On its official Twitter account, Nintendo UK announced that both titles will be featured as part of a live stream taking place tomorrow. It’s unclear when this will be happening, but you’ll want to keep an eye on the Twitch page here.


Minecraft has graces most gaming systems, but it has yet to arrive on Nintendo platforms. That doesn’t mean developer Mojang is against the idea though.

“If I had my way, we’d be on everything,” COO Vu Bui told MCV. “We want to continue to be available to all players, and that means being on new platforms because everyone uses something different.”

MCV specifically asked if a Nintendo version of Minecraft could be possible. Regarding this, Bui said: “I’ve never heard a reason why we haven’t ended up on Wii U or 3DS. It just hasn’t happened yet.”

So how about it: is Minecraft something you guys would like to see on Wii U and 3DS?
