Capcom is running a winter sale on the North American Wii U and 3DS eShops (Europe as well), but there are a ton of other discounts on both digital stores. Legend of Kay Anniversary, Runbow, SteamWorld Dig and SteamWorld Heist, Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures, and Lord of Magna are just a few of the included games.
We’ve rounded up some of the more notable sales across both platforms. The full list can be seen below.
Several new games out came out this week on the Wii U and 3DS eShops. If you’re interested in checking out what’s new in screenshot form, take a look at the gallery below.
This week’s episode of Nintendo Minute has gone live. In today’s video, Kit and Krysta finish their discussion on the end of the year awards, which include Best Digital Game, Favorite Character, and their overall Game of the Year. Watch the full episode below.
We first heard about Piggyback’s plans for a Zelda: Breath of the Wild guide yesterday. The company has now posted another message on Twitter, giving us a much clearer image. Additionally, we have confirmation that three editions are planned: “Deluxe”, “Collector”, and “Regular”.
If nothing else, hopefully the guide news is a sign that Zelda: Breath of the Wild is launching sooner rather than later. Despite the rumors of a summer release, having it ready at Switch’s launch would be fantastic.
While Bottlerocket Entertainment was negotiating with Warner Bros. on a contract for a new Watchmen game many years ago, Brash Entertainment swooped in and offered to have the studio work on a title based on The Flash. Bottlerocket accepted, and shifted its resources. Work began on an open world game featuring The Flash in 2007, which included plans for a Wii version.
Bottlerocket had some ambitious plans in store for The Flash: The Fastest Man Alive. The character would have been a rookie of sorts, as he gets to grips with his abilities and foes. Players would have been able to cycle through different speed levels, perform tricks in the air, grind off rails, and even run off the side of buildings to access new areas of the open world. The team was also planning a feature so that The Flash could plow through objects after reaching a certain speed. When battling enemies, players would need to tap the appropriate buttons floating above them to execute a quick attack, and combos were also involved.
Nintendo is back with more concept art from The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. This time, we have a good look at Link’s cold weather tunic. Check it out above.
Cypronia has prepared a trailer for the Switch version of Cube Life: Island Survival. Take a look at it below.
Niantic has announced a new event for Pokemon GO to celebrate the holidays.
First, between December 25 and January 3, players will have a greater chance of finding Eggs that hatch Togepi, Pichu, and other recently found Pokemon from the Johto region. Special Pikachu wearing festive hats will also be staying around longer, as they’ll be more easily encountered during the holiday event.
If that wasn’t enough, beginning on December 30 through January 8, players will be more likely to encounter the first Pokemon and their Evolutions. This specifically applies to Bulbasaur, Ivysaur, and Venusaur, as well as Charmander, Charmeleon, and Charizard, plus Squirtle, Wartortle, and Blastoise. Lure Modules will also last for 60 minutes instead of 30 minutes.
Continue on below for the full announcement from Niantic.
