Nintendo released a new video today showcasing a few European digital game highlights from November 2016. You can watch it below.
Much like Pikachu and Eevee, Sonic the Hedgehog now has his own plush from Build-A-Bear Workshop. The official website has it listed for $35. Note that this is an online exclusive bundle. It contains the 17-inch Sonic plush, gold ring accessory, and an exclusive print created by Sonic Team.
That’s not all though. Build-A-Bear is also offering a pre-stuffed, 13-inch Miles “Tails” Prower doll for $15. You can also nab a T-shirt wearable by any Build-A-Bear doll and featuring Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles sells for $7 at retail. Last but not least, a digital sound clip playing the “Special Stage” theme from Sonic the Hedgehog 3 is being sold for $7.
Stores will begin carrying the Sonic-related merchandise on December 3. A closer look at the goodies can be found below.
The Alliance Alive will release in Japan on March 30, FuRyu revealed during a live stream event in Japan today. The game will cost 6,280 yen.

Super Mario Maker for 3DS received its first update, but following some maintenance several hours ago, a new patch is up for the Wii U version as well. Version 1.45 is now live. It’s small in nature, as Nintendo says the following about it: “A number of issues have been fixed to make for a pleasant playing experience.”
Both Europe and Japan have gotten new My Nintendo rewards. For Europe, the rewards are as follows:
– 30% off Affordable Space Adventures (Wii U) – 400 Platinum Coins
– 30% off Metroid Prime Trilogy (Wii U) – 40 Gold Coins
– 30% off Pullblox (3DS) – 150 Platinum Coins
– 30% off Fallblox (3DS) – 180 Platinum Coins
– 25% off SteamWorld Heist (3DS) – 30 Gold Coins
Japan has gotten a new 3DS theme for the Legend of Zelda’s 30th anniversary (300 Platinum Coins), as well as 3 videos of The Legend of Zelda Orchestra recording various songs. These are downloads for the 3DS, priced at 100 Platinum Coins each, and feature the Main Theme, Ballad of the Goddess, and the Fairy Fountain.
The My Nintendo page update has featured a few changes. For starters, you can set a User ID, which is a unique name that will allow for easier logins to My Nintendo. Since these are unique, we recommend setting one up, just in case you don’t want your name taken. To get one, go to your Account Settings and choose edit, then go to the User ID option on the left side. Also, unlike Nintendo Network IDs, you can actually change your My Nintendo User ID at any time.
Second, child accounts are now available. These will allow children (between 13 and 17 years old) to use Nintendo Account services. Note: To activate these, you will need to make a small transaction ($0.50 in the US) to verify consent.
Maintenance will be conducted on the Nintendo Network ID system later today. Users may experience issues logging in through web services that make use of the functionality while it’s taking place.
Here’s the full schedule based on each region:
– 12 PM PT – 4 PM PT
– 3 PM ET – 7 PM ET
– 8 PM in the UK – 12 AM in the UK
– 9 PM in Europe – 1 AM in Europe
