There’s something a bit concerning with Bravely Default: Flying Fairy. It appears that the game won’t transfer over any DLC when starting a new game.
A note from Square Enix reads:
“If you start your game from ‘New Game’, the acquired reward items will be deleted along with your play data.
Furthermore, the items you have received once cannot be resent, so items you acquired in the past will not be usable. Please keep that in mind if you play a game from ‘New Game’.”
Players can acquire Bravely Default items in a few ways, as long as they belong to the Square Enix Members program.
One code is provided with the game itself and provides a new outfit. Another comes with the official soundtrack, which also offers a unique outfit. Famitsu had a code for an axe while Dengeki hosted an online survey that handed out a spear once completed.
This isn’t traditional DLC – you’re not really buying it from the eShop – but it is still bewildering. I really have no idea why Square Enix couldn’t make it so players could transfer these items over to a new game, honestly.
A new variant of the Wii U Pro Controller has popped up on EB Games’ Australia website. An unofficial – meaning third-party – controller is in the works, and it’s styled much like a SNES controller.
The product can currently be pre-ordered for $48 AUD. In Australia, Nintendo’s own Pro Controller will sell for roughly $30 more.
Product Overview
In “Disney Epic Mickey: Power Of Illusion,” gamers will play as Mickey Mouse as he infiltrates the Castle of Illusion on a quest to put an end to the evil witch Mizrabel’s diabolical intentions. Players will be taken on an all-new adventure made specifically for the Nintendo 3DS where, “Reality Is What You Paint Of It.” Created by critically acclaimed video game developer DreamRift, under the direction of Disney Interactive’s Junction Point, “Disney Epic Mickey: Power Of Illusion” furthers the Wasteland saga by taking players on a completely new story and adventure.Paying tribute to the classic Sega Genesis title “Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse,” “Disney Epic Mickey: Power of Illusion” focuses on the fabled Castle of Illusion, which has fallen into Wasteland, an alternate world filled with 80 years of forgotten Disney characters and theme park attractions – and now forgotten video games. The evil witch Mizrabel, villainess from the classic “Castle of Illusion Starring Mickey Mouse,” finds herself an unwilling inhabitant of Wasteland, and unleashes a plot to escape using the Castle of Illusion to imprison and drain the cartoon essence from currently famous Toons. Players will take on the role of Mickey Mouse as he utilizes his magical brush to wield paint and thinner to confront Mizrabel and save the Toons.
Animal rights group PETA kicked off a parody against Pokemon (specifically Black/White 2) last week, complete with a playable Flash game. The organization was targeting the popular franchise because it promotes animal cruelty and linked abused animals to the Pokemon in the game.
“Pokémon are treated as unfeeling objects and used for such things as human entertainment and as subjects in experiments. The way that Pokémon are stuffed into pokéballs is similar to how circuses chain elephants inside railroad cars and let them out only to perform confusing and often painful tricks that were taught using sharp steel-tipped bullhooks and electric shock prods.”
So how does Nintendo feel about the situation? The company sent out a terse statement a few days ago:
“Nintendo and The Pokémon Company take the inappropriate use of our products and intellectual property seriously.”

A few stores will be hosting midnight launches for the Wii U next month (yes, it really is just a month away!). That includes Walmart, which is confirmed by a new internal sheet from the retailer. You should be able to grab the console at 12:00 AM as long as you have a pre-order.
The same sheet also points out that Wii U stock should arrive well before the Wii U’s launch in most cases. This is something that you’d expect, but outlets could begin to receive systems as early as November 14, and no later than November 16. Sorry though – that doesn’t mean you can get the Wii U early!
