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.
A physical sticker book based on Nintendo Badge Arcade has just been released in Japan. The 32-page book features 301 stickers of popular badges from the likes of Mario, Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, Splatoon, Animal Crossing, Nikki, Rusty’s Real Deal Baseball, and more.
This is up on Amazon Japan right now here for 648 yen. It’ll take 2-4 weeks for shipping though.
Here’s a look at some of the stickers:
According to a listing on Nintendo’s website, Lovely Planet is making its way to Wii U next week. This will be a Tuesday release in North America – April 5.
Here’s a description of the game:
With boots of speed on your feet, an infinite supply of bullets for your semi-automatic and the ability to jump over twice your own height, you’re well equipped to go up against any enemy on your quest to reach Lovely Planet! Balance between jumping around dodging bullets and taking aim for a better shot at your enemies, don’t waste time camping at cover spots and waiting for enemies to pop out – artfully evade the onslaught of bullets and defeat all baddies that stand in your way!
Lovely Planet will be priced at $9.99. But since it was included in the Nindies@Home program last year, those who downloaded the demo should be able to save 15 percent.
Thanks to MrValtor for the tip.

Nintendo has come out with a brief new trailer for Star Fox Zero. You can find it below.
Nintendo is calling this a trailer, but it’s only 30 seconds long. Maybe it’ll be a commercial instead? We’ll see!
