Ahead of launch next month, Nintendo opened the teaser site for Paper Mario: Color Splash. You can visit it here. For now the page has a couple of videos, some screenshots, and a bit of information, but the full-blown site should eventually offer much more.
In a recent issue of Japanese magazine Nintendo Dream, producer Yosuke Hayashi was asked about the inclusion of Marin in Hyrule Warriors and Hyrule Warriors Legends. The character made it in as part of the Link’s Awakening DLC Pack.
Hayashi touched on why Marin uses a bell, her appearance, and movements. Head past the break for our full translation.

At the Tokyo Game Show today, SEGA announced the next game being added to SEGA 3D Fukkoku Archives 3: Final Stage. Thunder Force III, originally released in 1990 for the SEGA Genesis, will be a part of the collection.
SEGA also said that it has acquired the rights to Technosoft’s IPs. The latter company crated Thunder Force III.
We’ve included an extended debut trailer for SEGA 3D Fukkoku Archives 3: Final Stage showing Thunder Force III. Additionally, we have a bit of separate footage from that title plus 3D Turbo Outrun captured during SEGA’s TGS stage show.
The DSi Shop is on its way out. As previously mentioned, users will be unable to add DSi Points after September 30, and you’ll be unable to purchase titles after March 31.
At least in Japan, Nintendo is going to be refunding unused points. Between April 3, 2017 and September 29, 2017, Nintendo will be offering customers three different options:
1. Convert to eShop balance for 3DS / Wii U
2. Transfer money to the user’s specified bank account
3. Receive cash from convenience stores like Lawson
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.
Pokemon GO Plus is quickly becoming a hot commodity. And in Japan, consumers may soon find it nearly impossible to get their hands on the accessory. Nintendo just put out a notice stating that Pokemon GO Plus’ next shipment in the country isn’t expected until early November.
It’s unclear what the situation is outside of Japan. However, it wouldn’t be surprising to hear that additional Pokemon GO Plus shipments won’t be available in the west until later in the year as well.
This week’s episode of Nintendo Minute has gone live. In today’s video, Kit and Krysta go over five things on their minds, with 60 seconds for each topic. View the full episode below.
Dragon Ball: Fusions might be Bandai Namco’s worst-kept secret at the moment. Even though it was largely thought that the game would be heading west following a leak from a classification in Brazil, extremely strong evidence has appeared which further backs up that initial finding.
GameStop stores are now taking pre-orders for Dragon Ball: Fusions under the SKU 133501. It looks to be a $30 game, similar to that of last year’s Dragon Ball Z: Extreme Butoden. If we weren’t getting Fusions in North America (and Europe), it probably wouldn’t be in GameStop’s system – and up for pre-order.
Bandai Namco may have an official announcement to make about Dragon Ball: Fusions in the coming days.
More and more shows have been popping up on the content distribution platform Steam as of late. The Adventures of Super Mario Bros. 3 is the latest, and a bunch of episodes from the old television series can now be purchased and viewed.
If you’d like to give it a look, head on over to the official page here. Episodes cost $2 each. Alternatively, you can pick up a 13 episode bundle for just under $18.
