As the brief opening movie explains, a cold case is when the trail of evidence in a crime investigation has gone cold. Chase: Cold Case Investigations ~Distant Memories~, aside from having a mouthful of a title, is a visual novel following two detectives working in the Tokyo Police Department. The setup is that the case of a five year old murder deemed an accident is reopened after an anonymous phone call to the Cold Case Unit.
Nintendo gives a peek inside its storage room, shows off a a working Famicom Disk System Disk Writer
On its Japanese website, Nintendo is giving fans a photo tour of sorts from its storage area. It’s here where some of the old consoles and peripherals are held.
One of the big items highlighted in Nintendo’s new post is a photo of a working Famicom Disk System Disk Writer. This was used many years ago to print games onto blank cartridges. Other than that, Nintendo opens a Famicom and the Famicom Disk System expansion, showing it all in mint condition.
We’ve attached the photos below.
Nintendo and Apple are pretty close now, especially given that Super Mario Running is debuting on iOS first. Tim Cook, Apple’s CEO, actually stopped by the big N’s headquarters today to give the mobile game a look. Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka – two of Nintendo’s biggest developers – were present.
Cook shared the photo on Twitter a short while ago:

A pair of DS titles are heading to the North American Wii U Virtual Console this week. As of tomorrow, Kirby Canvas Curse and Animal Crossing: Wild World will be available.
Below are overviews of each:
Kirby Canvas Curse
“When Kirby gets turned into a ball by an evil witch, your hand-drawn rainbow paths become the only way he can find power-ups and reach the gates in each world. Stun enemies, destroy barriers, and detonate bombs—and do much more—by using the stylus. Unlock special features by collecting medals in each stage and completing in-game tasks!”
Animal Crossing: Wild World
“Get ready to start a new life! Whether you want to decorate your home, catch bugs or fish, join in on special events, or just chat with the locals, there’s always plenty to do! Accessorize your life with over 600 new items. Design constellations, clothes, and flags. Take part in events as the seasons come and go!”
Nintendo’s website doesn’t list prices yet, but both should cost $9.99 each.
Next week, Kemco and Exe Create will be coming out with Hermit Saver as their latest RPG for the 3DS eShop. View the official trailer below.
