The Dr. Mario amiibo may have some sort of functionality within Splatoon. Nintendo’s website lists the figure as being compatible.

There are two possibilities here: either the listing is a mistake, or the Dr. Mario will in fact work with Splatoon. We should know soon enough!

Layton 7 was first announced in 2013. At the time, it was slated for 3DS in addition to mobile platforms.

Layton 7 finally resurfaced today at Level-5 Vision 2015, but as a much different title. It’s now all about cards, a plot in which players must locate vampires among a crowd, and a 3DS is no longer planned. That being said, a Nintendo version hasn’t been ruled out.

Level-5 CEO Akihiro Hino has said that he would like to bring Layton 7 to Wii U. Whether that interest pans out remains to be seen.
