Assassination Classroom: Assassin Training Plan is in development for 3DS, Bandai Namco announced today.

Players become students of Class 3-E in the game. They’ll be spending time in school from entrance to graduation while attending school events, trying to kill Koro-sensei, and taking tests. It’ll be possible to train with Nagisa Shiota, take on missions with Karma Akabane, and enjoy communication among classmates.

Assassination Classroom: Assassin Training Plan is due out in Japan on March 24 for 5,700 yen. First-print copies will come with four 3DS themes and an in-game item.

You can view the first screenshots from Assassination Classroom: Assassin Training Plan below. Access the official site here.

Liam Robertson has once again uncovered something quite interesting. In a report published on NintendoLife, he writes that, according to one his sources, a free-to-play amiibo game is currently in the works. The developer for this is Nintendo Software Technology, who recently made Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars and in the past were responsible for games such as Metroid Prime Hunters and Wave Race: Blue Storm.

Apparently the game is planned for a US release in early 2016 – initially it would be free for anyone who owns a compatible amiibo, though this is apparently only a special promotion for the game’s launch. Once that promotion is over, customers will supposedly have to pay to play the game. Nintendo of Europe apparently plans to release the game later on in 2016 for free.

Additionally, Robertson states that, according to his source, there are plans for Nintendo Software Technology to become a mobile-only developer, presumably once development on the free-to-play amiibo game is finished. However, this is apparently only a proposal at the moment and not a final decision.

As always with reports like this, take them with a grain of salt – Liam Robertson has been quite accurate with his reports in the past, however there’s always the possibility of things falling through at the last minute or other internal developments leading to the project not being completed after all.

Let’s Talk #33: What do you want to see from next week’s Smash Bros. presentation?

On Tuesday, Nintendo will be holding another Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS presentation. We know that this will be the final broadcast for these Smash Bros. titles, and we’ll be hearing more about Cloud. Nintendo has teased other information for the event, and we’ll almost certainly hear about the Smash Ballot. It should be pretty big given that this is the final Smash Bros. presentation!

So what are your last minute hopes for the stream? Is there any character you’re particularly pulling for? Is there a new stage you’d like to be added? Sound off in the comments below!

Highlights from last week’s topic: What are you playing? – December 2015

Lots of site stuff to talk about again. Please bear with me!

New site functionality

This post has been a looooong time coming. Since we put up the new version of Nintendo Everything towards the end of October, we’ve been working hard to bring in additional functionality/features as well as improvements. That’s finally been done, which is great, since this all nearly killed me. Let me talk about what’s new!
