It’s been a five-year wait for Go! Go! Kokopolo 3D, but the game is nearly here. Circle Entertainment shared some news on Twitter today that the downloadable 3DS game will arrive between February and March.
You can access the official site here. We’ll let you know as soon as we have a release date.
Update: Added in details about Nintendo’s expanded online network and library called Network Extension (NEX).
Original: Earlier today, a new thread popped up in the Switch section of Reddit with very interesting information and images about Nintendo’s new hardware. Someone seemingly managed to get a hold of several files, in-development images, and new shots of Switch (when it was known as NX) revealing additional information about the system, including specs. While some of the content might be outdated, there’s no question that a good deal here is still relevant and applies to Switch’s retail version.
There are three files online at the moment. We have an NX overview, system features guide, and SDev Kit quick start document.
Reddit user dreamsomebody compiled the following information based on what’s surfaced:
SEGA hasn’t had much to say about Project Sonic 2017 since the original announcement last July, but we are finally receiving an update soon. A Sonic panel will be hosted at SXSW 2017 next month, and a “new reveal” is planned for the game as well as Sonic Mania. An “exclusive behind-the-scenes look” is promised for both titles.
Sonic Team’s Takashi Iizuka will be on hand for the panel along with SEGA’s Aaron Webber and Mike Pollock plus voice actor Roger Craig Smith. Surprises are also teased.
The Sonic SXSW 2017 panel will be hosted on March 16 for about an hour beginning at 3 PM PT / 6 PM ET / 11 PM in the UK / 12 AM (March 17) in Europe.
A panel for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild will be held at GDC 2017, Nintendo announced today. Game director Hidemaro Fujibayashi, art director Satoru Takizawa, and technical director Takuhiro Dohta will be on hand for the panel, named “Change and Constant – Breaking Conventions with The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild”. The event “will provide an in-depth look at how these convention-breaking changes were implemented.”
Nintendo will host the panel between 11 AM to 12:30 PM local time on March 1 at the Moscone Center. It doesn’t sound like a live stream will be offered, but it will be shown on the GDC Vault site the following week.
