Miitopia, Nintendo’s Mii-themed RPG, has just been released in Japan, but a Western release date is not yet in sight. However, we have possibly just gotten the first hint of the game being localized. User tonyh24613 on Twitter posted a screenshot of a loading screen in Miitomo, which mentions Miitopia. However, the user’s country was set to Japan, which might be the reason why he saw that loading screen, but it’s nonetheless noteworthy that Miitopia is being acknowledged in English by Nintendo.
Have you seen this loading screen yourself? Please tell us in the comments below.

The long-discussed Nintendo additions to Universal Studios are starting to show, as Super Nintendo World has been announced for Universal Studios Japan. Universal Studios Japan also issued a PR statement detailing a bit about the park, such as expected revenue, costs, and location. It also notes that the park is scheduled to open before the 2020 Tokyo Olympics. It does not go in-depth on the types of rides or attractions. Go beyond the jump for the full PR statement:
Skylanders Academy premiered on Netflix back in October. After the show appeared, it came as somewhat as a surprise that Crash Bandicoot was in, and even had his own voice.
GameSpot caught up with Skylanders Academy showrunner Eric Rogers to talk about giving the character a voice. He also touched on the mixed reaction and why the news of Crash’s involvement wasn’t talked up beforehand.
Head past the break for Rogers’ comments. Read GameSpot’s full interview here for other topics, including what’s in store for season two of Skylanders Academy.
Petite Games’ eShop efforts have only focused on Wii U, but the indie developer is about ready to release something new on 3DS. Hit Ninja will be available in North America on December 22.

Although Hit Ninja is without a European release date, it’s coming to PAL regions early in 2017.
Mario is here to stay. As Nintendo’s biggest franchise – and one of the biggest in general – there are plenty of additional adventures in store for the future. Shigeru Miyamoto is unsure about where Mario will be taken down the road, though technology will play an important role.
Miyamoto was asked about where he sees the future of Mario going during the Super Mario Run event at the Apple Store a few days ago. He reflected on a poll conducted after Super Mario Bros. launched, and how Mario was more popular than Mickey Mouse. Miyamoto realized at the time that “Mickey Mouse was a character that had evolved with the evolution of cinema and animation, and so it was then when I felt that if I want Mario to continue to survive as a character, then Mario needs to evolve with technology and video games.” And so Mario’s future will depend on the technology Miyamoto stumbles upon in the future.
