Yes, you read that right: The Voice, based on the popular show of the same name, is being released on Wii, and not Wii U, in the UK this November (though you can obviously still play it on your Wii U thanks to the system’s Wii backwards compatibility).
The game will feature several modes taken from the TV show and a selection of 30 songs, including “Ruby” by Kaiser Chiefs, “Don’t Stop Me Now” by Queen, “Kiss Me” by Olly Murs and “Karma Charmeleon” by Culture Club.
The game will be available as either a stand-alone package with just the game for £34.99 or bundled with 2 microphones for £44.99.
Finally, take a look at the video below, which shows off some of the songs:
Zelda: Symphony of the Goddesses: Master Quest, the current rendition of the Legend of Zelda concert tour, is currently touring across Europe, but will return to North America starting in November. This has been known for a while, but Jason Michael Paul Entertainment, Inc., who organize the concerts, sent out a press release today that confirms more tour dates and some more details about the show itself. Check out the updated schedule here to see if the concert tour is coming to a city near you. The full press release is past the break.
NintenDaan recorded 15 minutes worth of footage of Ninja Pizza Girl, which will be released today on the Wii U eShop. Take a look:
Two days ago, we reported on the file size of the upcoming Pokemon Sun & Moon demo, which is about 400 MB or 3100 blocks. However, the official Japanese website for Sun & Moon, which is where that info came from, also revealed the file size for the full game via a warning that having both the demo and the full game downloaded would exceed the capacity of the standard-issue 4 GB SD card. The full game will take up 3.2 GB or about 26,200 blocks on your 3DS’ SD card. For comparison, Pokemon X & Y take up 1.7 GB and Pokemon Omega Ruby & Alpha Sapphire take up 1.8 GB. Quite the jump up – the increased graphical detail in the overworld likely contributed a lot to that.
Overall, this makes Pokemon Sun & Moon the 4th largest game on the 3DS, behind Bravely Default, Bravely Second and Xenoblade Chronicles 3D.
Capcom has released another Monster Hunter Stories video going over the various aspects of the game, this time showing off the different monster abilities. It shows how the different monsters provide abilities for exploration outside of combat (such as swimming, flying, or stealth), as well as their in-combat options. Watch the video below:
Nielsen is continuing its annual tradition of providing a look at the most anticipated games of the holiday season. The company’s results are based on games scheduled between October and the end of the year.
On Wii U, Paper Mario: Color Splash is ranked highly, which makes sense as there’s not much else to look forward to. Pokemon Sun/Moon, Mario Party: Star Rush, and Disney Magical World 2 are the anticipated 3DS titles.
As for how Nielsen collects its data, the company says:
“Nielsen Game Rank represents the overall anticipation level among gamers on each platform, based on a combination of several key measures (including awareness, purchase interest, consumer rating and others). The percent value shown reflects how strong the overall anticipation level is for the title, relative to the pre-release anticipation levels of all previous titles that released on the platform(s). Values shown for multi-platform titles are averages of the values from each release platform. Titles included are those being released between Oct. 1, 2016 – Dec. 31, 2016, that have a Game Rank of 75% or higher. Data was collected by surveying 6,000 gamers age 7 to 54 between Aug. 21, 2016 – Sept. 24, 2016.”
Update: Along with today’s news, Bandai Namco confirmed that a download code for Mighty Action X will be included with all copies. This is set in the world of Kamen Rider Ex-Aid.
Bandai Namco has prepared a new five-minute trailer for its Japanese game All Kamen Rider: Rider Revolution. Give it a look below.
Niantic is giving Pokemon GO players a sneak peek of a new feature on the way. Sometime soon, functionality will be introduced “which grants a catch bonus when you earn medals based on catching certain types of Pokemon”.
With bonuses, you’ll have a better chance of capturing Pokemon with a related type. As one example, catching Fire-type Pokemon will be easier as you reach a higher tier for the Kindler Medal. Tiers can be increased by catching many Pokemon of the same type.
Here’s the full explanation and some screenshots of the upcoming feature:
We’ve been wondering when Corpse Party would be releasing in the west ever since the localization announcement in April. XSEED originally targeted a summer launch window in North America, but the season passed by without any news.
The most recent date we heard was October 4 from various retailers. Well, Amazon, Best Buy, GameStop, and GameFly have updated their listings again, and now point to October 25.
The good news? That may be final. For one thing, Corpse Party is now actually listed on the eShop, and carries an October 25 release date. We also heard a couple of weeks ago that the game had appeared on the European eShop with a similar date.
Hopefully XSEED will come forward with an official date soon. Marvelous also has to officially confirm Corpse Party for Europe, as the only “announcement” we have to go by is the eShop listing.
On Wii U, Mario vs. Donkey Kong 2 is this week’s Virtual Console game. And on 3DS, we’ll be getting Mega Man X2.
Nintendo’s website provides the following description:
Fresh from defeating Sigma and his Mavericks, Mega Man X tracks down the remaining rogue Reploids to an abandoned factory where they are continuing their rebellion. While Mega Man X is kept busy by eight all-new Mavericks, a new threat plots to resurrect a secret weapon that is all too familiar!
Now, guide Mega Man X through eight stages in his search to destroy the remaining Mavericks, gain their powers, and uncover the secret entity guiding them all. Also, pilot powerful new vehicles like the mobile attack cycle, and with help from the good Dr. Light, discover incredible new abilities hidden in capsules buried throughout the world. Only then will X will be ready to face his destiny as a Maverick Hunter!
Mega Man X2 will cost $7.99.
