Nintendo presents: New Style Boutique – free
Zen Studios has shared pricing information for Zen Pinball 2’s extra content.
When it hits the Wii U eShop, the base game will be free to all users. However, in order to receive a more in-depth experience – with additional tables – you’ll need to folk over a few bucks.
Individual tables will cost $3, according to a representative speaking on Zen Studios’ forums. 4-packs will be priced at $10. These prices are the same on other platforms.
Look out for Zen Pinball 2’s release on the Wii U eShop in the near future.
Pokemon X/Y were revealed just a few weeks ago, but there are already tons of fan-made art pieces located across the Internet. Below are just a few:
Thanks to Abe for the tip.
Datel Japan will be releasing a cooling fan accessory for the Wii U in just a couple of days. It’s coming out on January 22 for 1,200 yen. Consumers can choose between black and white color variations.
The add-on latches on to the back-part of the console through a USB port. Wii U owners may find use in the cooling fan if they are concerned about the system overheating.
Rumor: Nintendo to let indie devs make games without office space
In order to become an indie developer on Nintendo platforms, certain requirements must be met. For instance, a dev must maintain a dedicated business place. Studios can’t receive kits without meeting this criteria.
Interestingly, it seems that Nintendo could be abandoning the requirement.
Take a look at this tweet from Nintendo of America’s Dan Adelman:
@daxhalo @spiltmilkstudio Ask me again in a couple weeks. 😉

The tweet above coupled together with others rumor suggest that Nintendo may allow indie devs to make titles for its platforms without having an office space. That would only lead to a better situation for fans – it means more games!
