Yoshi’s Woolly World heading to Japan in July
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 1 Comment
The Japanese release date for Yoshi’s Woolly World has leaked out ahead of today’s Nintendo Direct, which will begin in just a short while.
According to Amazon Japan, it’ll launch on July 16. Amazon actually lists July 15, though that’s for the downloadable version. The eShop edition of Nintendo’s games tend to arrive a couple of hours before midnight of a game’s release. That means we can assume that the “true” launch is slated for July 15.
Check out the Japanese Yoshi’s Woolly World boxart above, and screenshots below.

Update: No Wii U or Wii either – FIFA 16 won’t be on 3DS
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 33 Comments
Update (5/31): It shouldn’t come as a surprise, but there are no plans for FIFA 16 on Wii U. It won’t be on Wii either,.
FIFA games have been appearing on Nintendo’s portable systems for over a decade. However, with FIFA 16, the streak is coming to a close.
EA confirmed to Pocket Gamer that the latest entry won’t be on the 3DS (or PS Vita for that matter). FIFA 12 up through FIFA 15 all launched on the handheld.
EA didn’t say why it decided to stop supporting the 3DS when it comes to the FIFA franchise, but the company is likely opting to focus on the mobile release instead.
Unused text found in Smash Bros. Wii U relating to YouTube uploads
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Wii U | 5 Comments
The Cutting Room Floor is known for its ability to unearth data and information from games that wouldn’t be accessible under normal circumstances. In the case of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, the site has found several lines of unused text that points to an unused feature in which users could upload videos to YouTube.
Here’s the full lineup of text:
Convert the replay data into a video and post it? This requires a Google account.
(Note: This process may take longer than the duration of the replay.)
Cancel the conversion process?
Download?
Download complete. To see it, go to Í and then Í.
Download and save?
Replays you’ve downloaded can be found in the Vault.
By connecting to Nintendo Network, you can send your replay to friends or show it off to the world.
Whom do you want to share this with? Data will be sent to the following number of people: .
Is this OK?
Sent.
Mario Kart 8 lets players upload race highlights to YouTube, so I don’t see why Smash Bros. wouldn’t allow for the same thing. Is the text above from a scrapped feature? Or will the functionality be added in down the line via an update?

Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 22 Comments
Now that Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night has hit its Wii U stretch goal on Kickstarter, the team has opened up its campaign a bit more to Nintendo fans.
First, it’s possible to obtain a physical disc for Bloodstained’s Wii U version. Details can be found here.
Armature Studio, who will be handling the Wii U port, also shared information about the sort of features it hopes to implement. These include Pro Controller support, the ability to have the map on the GamePad while playing on the TV, drawing on/annotating the map, off-TV play, Miiverse integration, and an element in which you can have your Mii featured in the game.
Armature is also seeking feedback from fans. You can share input on the official Kickstarter page here.
