Update: Bumped to the top. Added in Sunday’s updates.
Nintendo Badge Arcade has been receiving daily updates since heading to the 3DS eShop. Because it’s continually updated with content, we’re rounding up all of the additions and changes in a weekly post.
Here’s what’s on tap for the week of June 20:
June 20
– 5 Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D panels
– 6 original Zelda panels
– 4 Zelda: Tri Force Heroes panels
– 3 Zelda: Twilight Princess HD panels
– 2 Zelda: Wind Waker HD panels
– 3 Zelda icon panels
– 2 Zelda: A Link Between Worlds panels
– 4 Pokemon panels (1 day left)
– 1 Cat Mario Show panel (1 day left)
– 2 free plays
– The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds theme offer (available until 6/23)
Two more off-screen Zelda: Breath of the Wild clips have emerged. Both offer something that we haven’t really seen much of thus far. Below you can see the player picking up a rupee, and launching Link in the air with a catapult.
Earlier this month, Nintendo added in a new Link theme on My Nintendo. You can get a closer look at the reward in the video below.
Nostatic Software is bringing one of its prior releases to the Wii U eShop. Last week, the indie developer shared a photo of Block Zombies on the GamePad.
Here’s an overview of Block Zombies:
In a world gone wrong, one girl stands alone. Alone, but not unarmed!
Strange crystalline structures have turned the populace into mindless, zombie-like creatures.
Explore a variety of environments and upgrade your arsenal as you take on the zombies and blow them into their constituent blocky bits.
Fight the Zombies! Stop the Infection! Save the Day!
And a trailer:
Disney Infinity 3.0’s Finding Dory Play Set – the last one for the game – recently came out. A bunch of gameplay from the new package can be found below.
Following a day of intense battles, the latest North American Splatfest in Splatoon has ended. It’s now time to find out who prevailed: Team Early Bird or Team Night Owl.
Team Night Owl dominated in popularity (71 percent), and also had a slight majority in wins (51 percent). Thanks to that, they came out on top. The final score was 377 points for Team Night Owl and 323 points for Team Early Bird.
Nintendo and SEGA have formed a close relationship over the past several years through Sonic. The character appeared in Smash Bros., teamed up with Mario in multiple games based on the Olympics, and more.
Sonic Team head Takashi Iizuka spoke about Sonic’s link to Nintendo in this week’s issue of MCV. Here’s what he had to say about that:
“When SEGA stopped making hardware and just started doing software, the first platform that we released Sonic on was a Nintendo console. We felt from the very beginning, that the Nintendo platforms were where the passionate Sonic fans were. Historically that is where our relationship started with Nintendo. Unfortunately, the Wii U didn’t manage to get as many gamers on the hardware as we would have liked. That was unfortunate for Sonic because we didn’t get the mass of people to enjoy the content. But Nintendo has always been a great partner, we have Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games, Sonic in Super Smash Bros… we really appreciate the work that they do.”
