Even though Wii U isn’t in the spotlight these days, the system’s eShop has been seeing a consistent stream of Virtual Console titles. Bomberman ’93 should be another game that will be appearing soon. It has been rated by the ESRB, suggesting that a release is on the horizon.
Usually it takes a few weeks for games to show up once they’ve been rated. We’ll probably be seeing Bomberman ’93 within the next month or two.
Update (10/14): Amazon now has this for $6 off. It’s also up on Amazon Canada now and has been discounted by $21.60. The book is up on Amazon UK as well.
Original (10/3): Dark Horse is partnering with Square Enix to release the Final Fantasy Ultimania Archive. The first volume is scheduled for Summer 2018, though Amazon specifically lists it for June.
Final Fantasy Ultimania Archive Volume 1 looks to cover the first six entries in the Final Fantasy series. It contains concept art, process pieces, and notes from the original artists and designers in over 300 pages.
A box image has surfaced for the Z-Power Ring. On the packaging, we’re able to see that Mimikium Z will be present in Pokemon Ultra Sun and Pokemon Ultra Moon. That tells us that Mimikyu will have a Z-Move in the two games.
Unfortunately, that’s all we have to go on currently. No specifics on the actual move just yet.
The Wall Street Journal published a rather interesting article yesterday. The publication talked about mature / risqué games on Switch, and how Nintendo is very open to having these types of games on the console. Although the full piece is behind a paywall, we do have some excerpts.
The Nintendo Treehouse Log saw a flurry of activitiy this past week. Four separate entries were published on the Tumblr page. Pokemon Ultra Sun/Ultra Moon, Super Mario Odyssey, Monster Hunter Stories, and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim alll received some love.
Each one of these blogs updates cover various topics about the games. With Skyrim for example, Nintendo talks about comparisons to Zelda: Breath of the Wild and more.
We’ve included excerpts from the different posts with links to each below.
Amazon Japan has posted the Japanese boxart for Gear.Club Unlimited, attached above.
Here’s the western version for comparison:
We also have some new screenshots from of Gear.Club Unlimited, including actual gameplay images. Get a look at those below.
More and more ads for Super Mario Odyssey have been appearing in Japan during the lead up to the launch. Another billboard located in Shibuya is shown above.
We’ve seen a couple of other billboards over the past few weeks as well. One featured Mario in Shiveria, and another involved Steam Gardens.
