Nintendo TVii still hasn’t arrived in Europe. It’s still coming, though.

Speaking about the service during the European Nintendo Direct a couple of days ago, Satoru Iwata said the company is looking to make it available “as soon as possible”. Iwata also thanked Wii U owners for their patience.

As the wait for Nintendo TVii continues, the console’s Netflix app will be released to additional countries in Europe.

When Smash Bros. 4 was announced, Satoru Iwata revealed that separate versions would be released for the Wii U and 3DS. Iwata confirmed the company’s intentions to show the games at this year’s E3 during yesterday’s Nintendo Direct, but since then, director Masahiro Sakurai has confirmed that both versions will be at the expo.

Sakurai wrote on Twitter:

“Wii U and 3DS versions — I would like to show you both. Other games have had visuals shown, but you still have to wait for Smash Bros. But we’ll be able to release something better.”

Along with the quotes above, Sakurai apologized for the long wait for the new Smash Bros.

Disney Interactive will be releasing Disney Infinity games on a regular basis – each year, in fact. Activision has gotten into the same habit with its Skylanders franchise.

While speaking with VideoGamer, producer John Vignocchi discussed how yearly releases will be handled:

“With Infinity we’re looking at releasing versions that come out each year and those will feature all of the content [for] the year. One of the reasons why we did the figures was that future versions of Infinity will still respect all of those characters. So when we release a future version of Infinity, although we won’t have a Play Set that necessarily goes with the characters, the characters will still be able to play inside of the Toy Box, and we’ll add new features to future versions of Infinity as well.”

Fortunately, any character made for a Disney Infinity sequel will work with all previous games, according to Vignocchi.
