This week’s Nintendo Minute is now up on Nintendo’s YouTube page. In today’s episode, Kit and Krysta get ready for Evo 2016 by catching up with Smash Bros. players Nairo and VoiD as well as D1 from Twitch. Watch the full video below.
Pokemon GO arrived in 26 new countries earlier today… and then the servers proceeded to go down. Users have been experiencing issues for the past few hours.
On the bright side, Niantic is aware of issues surrounding Pokemon GO, and is working to restore service. That was passed along through the game’s official Twitter account just a few moments ago. Niantic also said that another update will be shared “soon.”
Here’s the official message:
Trainers! We have been working to fix the #PokemonGO server issues. Thank you for your patience. We'll post an update soon.

Evo 2016 day two is about to begin. Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, Smash Bros. Melee, and Pokken Tournament will all be represented at the tournament. Head past the break to watch today’s matches as they happen.
This month’s review scores are in from EDGE #296. The full listing is as follows:

Monster Hunter Generations – 8
Umbrella Corps – 3
Star Ocean: Integrity and Faithlessness – 5
Mighty No. 9 – 4
Inside – 9
Furi – 6
Trials of the Blood Dragon – 3
You’ll notice that with the pictured attached above, Zelda: Breath of the Wild has a big feature in the latest issue of EDGE. It’s unclear if there’s anything new or just an article based on the game’s E3 appearance (likely the latter), but it’s nice to see in any case!
EnjoyUp’s Hurry Up! Bird Hunter was one of the new Wii U eShop releases in Europe this week. The video below has some footage of the game.
Paper Mario: Color Splash was featured on Nintendo’s stage at Hyper Japan Festival just a short while ago. We have the recording in full below.

Over on Facebook, Mastiff published a new teaser video for Gurumin 3D: A Monstrous Adventure. Watch it below.
Note: Mastiff says the video is a bit stretched and mottled from the original capture. When playing on 3DS, the gameplay should be crisper.
Nintendo shared a new Japanese video today promoting Miitomo in Japan. We’ve gone ahead and posted it below.
