James Montagna, who previously brought Dot Arcade to the Wii U eShop, has another game coming to the system soon. Dodge Club Party could be out in North America as early as March for $1.99.

Here’s a brief overview of the game:

“Dodge Club Party on Wii U is a frantic multiplayer free-for-all in an impressively micro 16×16 pixel arena! Gather your friends and dodge the fireball together! Will you mischievously sabotage other players to be the last one standing? Or perhaps you can all work as a team for the highest score of the night! Once the fireball is loose, anything goes!”

Dodge Club Party will also feature a 5-player multiplayer mode that takes advantage of the Wii U GamePad.

We’re just two weeks away from Fire Emblem Fates’ North American release. With the game being so close, Nintendo has now started pre-loading on the 3DS eShop. You can purchase and download most of Fates now, with only a small update required on launch day to begin playing.

Birthright and Conquest can both be pre-loaded. However, you should make sure not to purchase both. As Nintendo explains on the eShop page:

“Please make sure not to purchase both Birthright and Conquest at full price on Nintendo eShop. To purchase second path at a discounted price, please select the Explore Fates option that appears at the beginning of Chapter Six, or purchase a download code at retail to redeem within the in-game shop Dragon’s Gate.”

Thanks to Brian for the tip.

Three more Twilight Princess HD tweets have hit the Japanese Zelda Twitter page. Malo once again provides the information, and today he focuses on some of the game’s new features.

Below are the translations:

“…It’s Malo. The information about the world I live in and the new features added this time have come… You can also look thoroughly at Wolf Link’s amiibo, so I guess I shall go [see it] after closing up my shop…

…It’s Malo. The stamps that can be used in Miiverse are sleeping inside dungeons and all over the field… There are also Hyrule alphabet stamps, so please do find them…

…It’s Malo. So with the GamePad screen, you can freely shift the items, huh… It can also be changed to showing maps that also show the destination point, so the screen at your hand will be of much help in both fields and dungeons…”

Cheesemeister3k has translated one more excerpt from the Q&A portion of Nintendo’s latest financial results briefing. When asked about his strategy as president, Tatsumi Kimishima said:

Kimishima: Yes, when I became President, I said that it was my role to continue the strategy established under the prior management. From this point, we need young people to come in as a new generation and give lots of new ideas. It’s important to create an organization in which they can thrive. To do so, we’ve established a system in which many people with potential can play active roles. It may be hard to see from outside the company, but our organization has changed greatly. We also want more game developers to become known, so we’ll be sending more out to be public-facing. As for strategy, our hardware/software game business is central, but we’re integrating smart device activities into our actual business, and will derive synergies between them. My Nintendo is an important part of that. We want to create connections with customers by having them become My Nintendo members. Also, although QOL wasn’t asked about we’re not at the stage for the sleep and fatigue [sensor] to become a product, so it won’t be released (as a product) by March. We do, however, think that we can do something in the area of QOL, so we will continue to consider expanding into this field.
