A pair of 3DS games have been discounted on GameStop. Code Name: S.T.E.A.M. can be had for just $10 while the Chibi-Robo: Zip-Lash amiibo bundle is down to $20. Both are pretty fair prices, I’d say!
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
n-Space, a developer with over 20 years of game developing experience, is shutting down.
The news was originally passed along by artist Ben Leary. He shared the following on Twitter yesterday:

n-Space hasn’t done too much with Nintendo platforms as of late, but the company’s work can be seen across several Nintendo platforms. The studio teamed up with the Big N on Geist, created the Call of Duty games on DS, made Heroes of Ruin on 3DS, and more.
Here’s a bit of a surprise: Mario Super Sluggers is coming to North America tomorrow as a Wii download for Wii U. This marks the game’s debut on the eShop in any region.
Here’s a brief overview:
“Rookies and veterans alike will be hittin’ it home in no time. Simply swing the Wii Remote controller like a bat, or use a pitching motion to test your strike power from the mound! Play ball with up to four players, and select from nine unique stadiums–everything from an ice-filled castle to an urban cityscape!”
Pricing for Mario Super Sluggers will be set at $19.99.
In the UK, the Fire Emblem Fates Special Edition will only be available at GAME. That information comes from the retailer’s product page located here. While that may seem like a downer, you might be able to secure a copy at stores outside of the UK since there is no exclusivity in other European territories.
Tachyon Project is a day away from launching on the European Wii U eShop, with a North American release coming later. Watch the first 19 minutes below.
Another hour of footage has come in for the indie game Slain! Check out the new video below.
Update: We’re also hearing that with today’s update, it’s possible to use a Nintendo Account and sign in with it from territories outside Japan.
Nintendo has brought out a new version of Miitomo in Japan. Version 1.1.0 should be live on iOS and Android.
As we mentioned before, this update introduces a number of new features. To recap, they are as follows:
– Added feature for making friends with friends of your friends
– Mutual friends will now appear in the list of suggested friends
– Added the “View online answers” button to the All Answers screen
– Changed hashtag and image for sharing an answer to the event version
– Fixed other issues
Miitomo is launching tomorrow outside of Japan.
Tachyon Project is due out in Europe tomorrow, with the North American release presumably following soon after. To download the game, you’ll need about 300MB of free space. That’ll probably dip a bit once actually installed.
Digital Foundry has returned with another game frame rate analysis. This time around, the outlet examines Pokken Tournament. The fighter is able to maintain 60 frames per second for the most part, though it does take a hit in resolution.
Digital Foundry notes that Pokken Tournament runs at 960×720, which is below 720p. This can impact backgrounds and what players see when characters are shown up close.
Take a look at the full analysis below.
