Metroid Prime: Federation Force was originally scheduled for late spring. The extra development time is being used to improve game balance.
EnjoyUp Games and Software Scribes recently announced Sssnakes for the 3DS eShop. Today, the two sides confirmed that the game will be available in Europe on April 28 for €1.99.
Here’s a new trailer:
A new Japanese trailer for the upcoming 3DS title Zero Time Dilemma has made its way online. The trailer highlights each of the characters trapped in the puzzles. Check it out below:
Emily Rogers posted a new article regarding Nintendo’s software plans for NX. You can read the full piece here, but we did want to highlight some of what was written on the site.
This is all unconfirmed of course, but here’s a look at the main points:
– The big fundamental focal point (and overall goal) behind NX is to vastly increase the software output from Nintendo’s first party teams and studios.
– To accomplish this, the entire process of how Nintendo develops and produces software has gone through radical changes.
– There is a new strategy that was put in place to create and release first party software at a faster rate.
– Multiple unannounced Wii U projects were moved over to NX.
– The NX could potentially see the highest output of first party software in the company’s history. (I’m talking about the entire lifespan of NX. Not just one or two years.)
Rogers also writes that “the NX’s software output will blow away the Wii U’s software output” and within a year, “will build a larger library of games than Wii U produced in three or four years.”
Additionally, Rogers stresses that some games won’t necessarily avoid delays, and it’s possible that there will still be gaps between releases. Nintendo may also choose to save game announcements for different events, meaning we may not see the full slate at E3 or even by launch.
After an incredibly long wait, Pinball Arcade is finally coming to the North American Wii U eShop this week. You’ll be able to download it for free (spend money on tables) starting on Thursday.
The official game page on Nintendo’s website says that regular updates are planned, which will add the likes of Star Trek: The Next Generation, Terminator 2: Judgement Day, Twilight Zone, Creature from the Black Lagoon, Monster Bash, Medieval Madness, Funhouse, Attack from Mars, Circus Voltaire, and Big Shot. Pinball Arcade will also feature online tournaments and more modes “to challenge yourself and compete against your friends.”
In Japan, Game Freak has filed for a couple of interesting trademarks. The Pokemon developer registered the names “Solgaleo” as well as “Lunaala”. Folks are now speculating that these two could be the mascot starters in Pokemon Sun/Moon.
A trademark for “Gigareki” was also registered separately, but it’s not entirely clear what the name is for at present.
While it’s unknown if any of these trademarks are actually tied into Pokemon Sun/Moon, the possibility is certainly there. We can look forward to receiving official information on the two games within the next few weeks.
RCMADIAX is continuing development on Wii U games. The indie developer has announced several titles as of late, and one more has now been added to the mix: Invanoid.
Invanoid is described as an “invaders/brick blaster combo” that “combines fun animations with endless high score gameplay.” It’s targeted for launch in June.

The newest version of Miitomo can now be downloaded. Version 1.1.3 went live on iOS tonight, and hit Android a few days ago.
Miitomo version 1.1.3 implements “speed optimizations for some processes.” Nintendo says that bug fixes have been added in as well.
A second Japanese commercial for Kirby: Planet Robobot is now online. You can give it a watch below.
