Last year, winterworks brought Bloo Kid 2 to 3DS. That might have seemed a bit strange to some given how the original game never came out on Nintendo platforms. However, this will be changing at some point in the future.
On Twitter, winterworks announced that we’ll be seeing the first Blood Kid game on the 3DS eShop. There’s no word on a release date yet, but it will have updated visuals.
winterworks’ tweet is as follows:
We'll be doing Bloo Kid 1 for #3DS, with updated gfx. May come to other platforms as well. #indiedev #gamersunite pic.twitter.com/R5pKUa2qV9

Since September of last year, indie developer Lake Lodge Games has been working on Sushi Princess. We now have confirmation that it will be on Wii U.
We don’t have too much to go on, but Sushi Princess is a 2D platformer. The ultimate goal will be to help the main character save the princess from the evil emperor.
Here’s the latest development video for Sushi Princess:
You can keep track of Sushi Princess’ progress on the Tumblr page here.
Update: Bumped to the top. Here’s another comparison between Star Fox 64, Star Fox 64 3D, and Star Fox Zero:
Nintendo Life has put together a new Star Fox Zero / Star Fox 64 / Star Fox SNES Corneria comparison based on the latest footage from the Wii U game. View the video below.
Epic Dumpster Bear is one of a few games we’ll be seeing on the Wii U eShop this week. In the video below, you can get a look at some footage.
The Star Fox Zero Collector’s Edition guide will come with a 35″ by 22.5″ full-color exclusive double-sided poster. Prima provided a first look at the goodie today, which is shown above.
You can get your hands on the Star Fox Zero Collector’s Edition guide – along with the game itself – on April 22. It’s just over $10 off on Amazon at the moment.
Nintendo filed a Japanese patent a couple of years ago under the name “Information processing system, information processing program, information processing method and imaging device”. However, it was only just published yesterday. Essentially, it involves a device that features object detection using cameras and mirrors, and could theoretically be used as a controller, a projector, and more.
The patent is admittedly a bit convoluted and may make more sense to those who are familiar with the technical side of things. Still, you can find more information here if you’re interested.
A new 7th Dragon III Code: VFD trailer has gone live highlighting the RPG’s character creation elements.
In the game, players can build each of the nine characters in their party from scratch based on 96 appearance variations and 40 voice options. There are also eight character classes to choose from, which are as follows:
- Samurai – The class that loves swords, blades, and anything with a sharp edge.
- Agent – The class that shoots and hacks with extreme prejudice.
- God Hand – The class that heals allies and bruises enemies with nasty hooks and uppercuts.
- Duelist – The class that uses magical cards to summon supernatural beings into battle.
- Rune Knight – The class that deals devastating damage with magical short swords.
- Fortuner – The class that can cast useful debuff effects.
- Mage – The class that can unleash the full power of mana.
- Banisher – The class that likes to smash.

Update: Bumped to the top with two more scans. Everything has now been collected in the following gallery:
Note: Mimi’s full name is Mimi Nanano, and the Perceive feature returns.
Earlier today, Famitsu revealed that Trucy Wright and Ema Skye will both be returning in Ace Attorney 6. A new scan of the latter character has now leaked from the magazine. You’ll find it above.
On the page, it’s written: “The day I can openly use my scientific investigation goods has finally arrived!”. Her armband also has an abbreviation of Forensic Investigation.
Trucy Wright will be voiced by Chieko Higuchi in Ace Attorney 6. Marina Inoue is behind Ema’s voice.
