Famitsu sent Nintendo a few questions about the newly-announced Super NES Classic Edition / Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Famicom. The publication was able to get a couple of answers from the company about its new hardware.
First, Famitsu asked how the games were chosen for the Super NES Classic Edition overseas and the Nintendo Classic Mini: Super Famicom in Japan. Nintendo explained:
“It depends on the game’s popularity, whether people were familiar with it, and number of units sold. We carefully hand picked each title to ensure the game lineup appealed to a large audience, so it makes the SNES Classic an easy purchase.”
Following its release on Wii U earlier this year, Vaccine has now debuted on Switch in Japan. View some footage below.
NIS America has prepared a new trailer for Culdcept Revolt under the name “The Way to Win”. Watch the video below.
Earlier today, Koei Tecmo offered a first look at the special versions of Fire Emblem Warriors for Japan. Fans will be able to pick up a Premium Box and Treasure Box for the game.
The packaging for the Premium Box appears to have accidentally revealed two new characters for Fire Emblem Warriors. Sprites for male Robin and Lissa were spotted on the official packaging. Worth noting, Famitsu edited its article and removed the box from the image.
D4 Enterprise is putting up two new TurboGrafx-16 games on the North American Wii U Virtual Console this week. Bonk 3: Bonk’s Big Adventure and Devil’s Crush are both slated for tomorrow.
Here’s an overview of Bonk 3:
It’s up to Bonk once again to thwart the plans of the relentless, evil King Drool. There are seven rounds scattered throughout the Dinosaur Kingdom, each one filled with fun contraptions and comical enemies. Grab a Flower Copter or exchange 16 Smileys at the end of each round to play up to eight different bonus stages. Or you can change the size of Bonk by grabbing the new red or blue candy items. Depending on the situation, you can change your size to bonk your way through a dead end or to get a hard-to-reach item. And if that’s not enough, you can grab a friend and put your heads together to defeat King Drool in the new 2-player mode!
And Devil Crush:
Shoot the ball onto the board with the Devil Shooter, then use flippers and nudging to keep it in play and rack up a high score. Complete certain conditions to play up to 6 different bonus stages. Get a “Perfect Clear” on those to earn a huge amount of points! The game’s ominous theme is enhanced by its enemies–wandering skeleton knights, sorcerers, and even a giant face that changes from a goddess to a sinister serpent!
Bonk 3 and Devil Crush are priced at $5.99 each.

This week’s Famitsu scans are now available. Highlights include Namco Museum, The Snack World, Layton’s Mystery Journey, and Splatoon 2. Scans of all games are below.
The first DLC pack for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is just on the horizon. Nintendo will be distributing The Master Trials on Friday.
Nintendo’s Japanese website now shows how much space is needed for the DLC. On Switch, The Master Trials is a 456MB download. The Wii U version requires 3.7GB of free space.
It’s unclear why The Master Trials is such a bigger download on Wii U. It’s just a theory, but Switch might be able to handle more advanced file compression.
