Nintendo looking to release 5 mobile titles by March 2017, first one reconfirmed for this year
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 4 Comments
Nintendo president Satoru Iwata shared a brief update about the company’s mobile plans during today’s financial results briefing.
According to Iwata, Nintendo wants to have five mobile games out by March 2017. This may seem like a small number, but the Big N wants them to become hits. Additionally, given the business, Nintendo doesn’t believe their plans are half-hearted at all.
It won’t be too long before we see Nintendo’s first, true effort for smart devices. The goal is to bring out the first mobile title this year.

Anima: Gate of Memories enters beta, new screenshots
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Screenshots, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
The developers behind Anima: Gate of Memories confirmed late last month that the game has finally entered beta. Although it can be played from start to finish, Anima requires lots of polish, the addition of story cut-scenes, and bug corrections.
That’s not all on Anima: Gate of Memories. The team announced that Badland Games is handling the title’s distribution. I’m not entirely sure how/if the news applies to the Wii U version, so I’ll just mention that off-hand.

Splatoon’s “Color Lock” feature should help color-blind gamers
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 5 Comments
Splatoon Global Testfire hit the eShop today, though you can’t do much with it at present. As it’s an online-only demo, you can only experience what Nintendo is offering during select hours on Friday and Saturday. You can at least poke through Splatoon’s entire digital manual, and some users have done just that, which has resulted in the discovery of an interesting option in the final game.
Splatoon will come with a “Color Lock” option that lets players choose from a few pre-set color patterns. It’s unclear what these options are currently, but the manual says it’s “for the aid of players who have difficulty distinguishing certain colors.” Good on Nintendo for including this feature!
