Tomorrow’s North American Virtual Console titles are now confirmed. On Wii U, we’ll be getting Metroid Prime: Hunters. Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie’s Double Trouble is due out for New 3DS.
Here’s an overview of Metroid Prime: Hunters:
A ferocious race, now extinct, has left behind relics of its once-powerful warrior culture. Now six other fierce bounty hunters from across the galaxy will challenge Samus in a race to claim these relics in hopes of harnessing their power for themselves.
And Donkey Kong Country 3:
Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong have gone missing! As Dixie Kong checks in with the rest of the family, she gets stuck with babysitting duties! But that won’t stop her from going on her next adventure!
Play as Dixie Kong or Kiddy Kong solo, against a friend, or with a friend! Take advantage of each of their unique abilities as they throw each other into action in over 40 levels. There are plenty of collectibles—including Bear Coins, which grant access to the services of the Brothers Bear, and Banana Birds, which Wrinkly Kong has a deep fondness for. You can also call on Funky Kong to build some wild vehicles for you to try to get to places that seem far out of reach. Not to mention there are animal friends to fight at your side! The final showdown takes place in a cliff-top laboratory at the End of the World. Things could get seriously ugly, so you’d better be ready!
Pricing for Metroid Prime: Hunters is set at $9.99. Donkey Kong Country 3: Dixie’s Double Trouble will set you back $7.99.
Earlier today, Nintendo officially announced its partnership. Footwear will begin to arrive in US stores on Friday as well as other international retailers throughout the month.
At first, it seemed that the collaboration would only extend to sneakers. However, Nintendo and Vans have quite a bit more in store, as confirmed in the announcement. The two sides are teaming up for co-branded tees, backpacks, bags, socks and hats.
We now have images for the various items below. If that’s not enough, you can find even more images here.
Evo 2016 is on track to host the biggest Smash Bros. tournament ever with its upcoming Super Smash Bros. for Wii U event. That news was publicized on the official Twitter account earlier today through the following note:
Evo has just broken yet another record! Super Smash Bros. for WiiU is officially the biggest smash tournament ever! https://t.co/4kBRLyj2OC

Over 1,900 people have already signed up for the Smash Bros. Wii U tournament at Evo 2016. Participants still have around a month to register.

Even though Phoenix Wright: Ace Attorney – Spirit of Justice is just a few days away from launching in Japan, Famitsu does have some additional information to share. This week’s issue sheds light on the Apollo vs. Phoenix face-off as well as the DLC episode.
First, when it comes to the Apollo and Phoenix’s battle, a certain piece of evidence causes the two characters to clash. Blackquill is called as a witness in a trial (unknown if these two incidents are one and the same). After finding the spectator’s seats too “boring”, he hops behind the defense’s desk to act as support.
Famitsu also details the DLC episode Turnabout Across Time. Here’s the rundown on that:
– Larry introduces Phoenix to his bride-to-be, Shizuku Ootsube
– Shizuku: a maid working in the Haguruma household
– Shizuku claims that just after she was married, she was attacked and nearly killed, only to travel back in time at the critical moment
– She now finds herself the suspect instead
– Shizuku also says Larry’s got his head screwed on backwards as usual – she’s getting married to a man named Raito, the blue-haired mechanic
– Phoenix and Maya meet both Raito and Edgeworth when they head to the scene to investigate
– They soon find themselves going up against Edgeworth in court
Manaphy is now available as the latest distribution in Pokemon X, Y, Omega Ruby, and Alpha Sapphire. You can watch a trailer for the event below.
