GamesMaster spoke with Splatoon producer Hisashi Nogami in its latest issue for a brief interview. At one point, Nogami reflected on how there were some jitters within the team before launch, as they weren’t sure how the multiplayer-focused game would be received.

Nogami told the magazine:

“We’ve dealt with online multiplayer in a number of titles up until now, but this was the first time we’d taken up the challenge of releasing a package game where multiplayer was the main mode. We were not 100 percent sure about how a few sections would be received, and so we’re really happy to see them being well received not only by experienced online gamers, but by a really broad range of players including children and female players too; it’s a real confidence boost. If we have the chance in the future, I’d like to build on online gameplay even more.”

GamesMaster followed those comments by pressing Nogami on the possibility of Splatoon 2 happening one day. When asked, he responded with the following:

“We want to raise this new IP with care, so maybe we’ll get a chance to make it happen if players support us.”

Splatoon updates technically ended last month. But at the Splatoon Koshien 2016 finals a couple of weeks ago, Nogami hinted at possible new content for the shooter.

A new wave of Nintendo Selects will hit North American retailers on March 11, according to Video Games Plus. The lineup includes several Wii U/3DS titles, and surprisingly, some old Wii releases as well. Pikmin 3, Super Mario 3D World, Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D, and Super Mario All-Stars are just some of the included games.

For those that are unfamiliar, Nintendo Selects typically bring about lower prices for games. It looks like some older ones will be seeing reprints as well – notably Pikmin 3 and Super Mario All-Stars.

Video Games Plus lists each new Nintendo Select at $29.99 CDN. That should amount to $20 USD.

Nintendo has not yet officially announced this new batch of Nintendo Selects. Presumably though, we should be getting an announcement soon.

New information about Shadow Mewtwo in Pokken Tournament has emerged from this month’s issue of CoroCoro.

The magazine notes that Psywave attacks can be used in multiple ways. It can go on the offensive with Power and Technical moves that keep shifting in order to confuse the opponent. While Psywave is mainly a close combat move used for setting up combos, it can also be used as a vortex to suck in opponents. It can be used as a projectile, too.

The Twilight Princess HD Twitter page has given us another bit of insight from Malo. Here, he highlights Telma, the bar owner in Castle Town.

Here’s our translation:

“…It’s Malo. This is Miss Telma, the barkeeper of the bar in Castle Town… She’s a woman who’s very caring and broad-minded… The heroine for me is definitely Miss Telma…”
