A few weeks ago, Amazon put up a few interesting listings from Nighthawk Interactive. The retailer listed retail versions of Runbow as well as Tumblestone. Runbow’s physical release was confirmed during E3, and we now have confirmation on Tumblestone as well.

Tumblestone will be out on store shelves for Wii U on August 30 for $24.99. If you can’t wait until then, you can pick up the game from the eShop starting on July 12.

Here’s a trailer for the retail version:

Each year, titles shown at E3 are nominated for the Game Critics Awards. Judges consist of representatives from major global media outlets that cover the gaming business, including GameSpot, Game Informer, TIME, and much more.

As for this year’s nominees, Zelda: Breath of the Wild is included in a few categories. It’s being considered for “Best of Show”, “Best Console Game”, and “Best Action/Adventure Game”. LEGO Dimensions, LEGO Star Wars: The Force Awakens, and Skylanders Imaginators also have a chance to win “Best Family Game”.

You can find the full lineup of categories and nominees here.

This week’s Famitsu scans are now available. Highlighted games include Aikatsu Stars! My Special Appeal, Culdcept Revolt, Pokemon, Puzzle & Dragons X, and Zero Time Dilemma. Scans of each can be found in the gallery below.

Update: Here’s some footage:

As unfortunate as it is, Chinese companies creating blatant ripoffs of Nintendo products is nothing out of the ordinary. But the newest mobile game may take the cake as the worst offender yet.

In the attached gallery, we have a look at Sepia Go!, one of the newest titles from China. It should only take a second to realize that what we have here is something that is attempting to mimic Splatoon in every way – from the art to the characters to the gameplay. Nintendo should be none to happy with these sorts of things floating around out there.

Thanks to Stephen Lv for originally pointing this out to us.
