Nintendo is bringing the 3DS game Teddy Together to Europe next month. A listing has now gone up on the Nintendo UK site, confirming the file size. It’ll be 3074 blocks / 384.25MB.
Update: We now have the official announcement with actual details.
First, an overview:
Times have changed in the land known as the Oasis of the Harvest Goddess. Many people used to live in Skytree Village, and the land was lush and green. However, the power of the Harvest Goddess gradually began to wane, and the land became parched and dry.
It’s up to you revive the seven Skytrees in order to give the Harvest Goddess her power back, and, in turn, bring life back to this desolate land!
Natsume says that Harvest Moon: Skytree Village will include new characters, but with some returning faces. It’ll also offer a new art style, new character models, and more.
When it comes to features, the game will have new crops and flowers, new fishing mechanics, and the option to play as a boy or a girl. Natsume is also packing in “user-friendly tutorials” so that “players will immediately be able to jump into the thick of things, customizing their farm by raising and lowering the land, creating rivers, ponds, and more.” That’s in addition to upgraded tools to “assist farmers in shaping the land more efficiently”.
We’ve posted the official announcement after the break.
Harvest Moon: Skytree Village is in development for 3DS, Natsume announced today. The title will be playable at E3 2016 later this month.
Natsume just shared the news on Twitter with the following message:

We don’t have any additional details at the moment, but we’ll let you know if/when we hear anything else.
With Kick & Fennick arriving on the Wii U eShop tomorrow, footage of the title is starting to come in. Here’s a video with 12 minutes of gameplay:
Nintendo may only have one game on display at this year’s E3, but the company still has one of the biggest booth spaces on the show floor. The expo’s final floor plans went up today, showing Nintendo has three different sections, and apparently the theater as well.
Other publishers like Capcom and Warner Bros. will also be present at E3 later this month. We have a look at the West Hall and South Hall plans in this post.
My Nintendo added a trio of Miitomo rewards in all regions earlier today. And in Europe, a couple of extra prizes were added.
If you have a European My Nintendo account, you can spend Gold Points on Xenoblade Chronicles X and Xenoblade Chronicles 3D. The two discounts require 140 and 110 points respectively.

It’s been announced that the Vans x Nintendo collection will launch this Friday in the United States. At other international retailers, the footwear will be available throughout the month.
Here’s what you can look forward to in terms of shoes:
The Vans x Nintendo Classic footwear assortment kicks off with four variations of the Authentic silhouette. Travel to the Mushroom Kingdom for the first colorway, the Super Mario Bros. Tie-Dye, which showcases an all-over character print of Mario alongside several “power-ups” and the villainous Goomba over an 8-bit tie-dye pattern. A second color-up features the original damsel in distress, Princess Peach, awaiting rescue from her brave hero. Duck Hunt comes to life atop a digi-camo backdrop featuring the hunting dog and flying duck, and the final execution of the Authentic is an ode to Donkey Kong and incorporates imagery from its first level to present the title character in a unique floral arrangement. Vans’ iconic lace-free silhouette, the Classic Slip-On, appears in the sneaker lineup with graphics and quotes from The Legend of Zelda. A Sidestriped trio of the Sk8-Hi, Old Skool and Sk8-Hi Slim for women pay homage to the NES with prints and colors inspired by the console. Lace-up styles are trimmed with special details, including Nintendo game logos on the tongue label and NES controller lace caplets. For the greatest feature, kick up your heels to reveal Vans iconic waffle sole printed with ‘Game Over!’
Sneaker styles for youth and toddler fits will also be distributed at retailers. These include “patterns designed just for kids with characters from Mario Kart and Super Mario across the Sk8-Hi Zip, Classic Slip-on and Authentic.”
Interestingly, the Vans x Nintendo collaboration also extends into apparel and accessory items. Consumers can pick up tees, backpacks, bags, socks and hats “in prints that tie back to the Classic footwear.”

The latest trailer for Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE puts the focus on the RPG’s story. You can see the new video below.
Following recent leaks, Activision has made the next entry in the Skylanders series official. Skylanders Imaginators will launch on October 16 for Wii U and other platforms. Unlike past years, there’s no sign of Wii and 3DS versions.
Details that we heard about yesterday were spot on. Skylanders Imaginators will let players make their own Skylanders for the first time, there will be a new elementally-aligned toy type called the Creation Crystal, and Skylanders Senseis are being introduced.
You can find the first Skylanders Imaginators below. We’ve also included the official announcement with more details after the break.
The Squid Sisters will be live in concert at Japan Expo in July. That’s not the only Nintendo-related event planned for the show, however.
Junichi Masuda, director of the Pokemon games, will have a Master Class on July 7 pertaining to the series’ 20th anniversary. That’s the only bit of information released thus far, but we should be hearing more in the coming weeks.
