Original (6/19): Petite Games is continuing its string of Wii U releases with Laser Blaster. Sometime this summer, it’ll be heading to the eShop. Actual details have not been made known just yet, but information is “coming soon”.
A few years ago, Disney came out with a new Mickey Mouse short that has the famous character making his way through Tokyo. For a brief couple of moments, there’s a scene that pays homage to Mario with classic sound effects and all.
Game Informer decided to ask Shigeru Miyamoto about the short at E3 last month. He hadn’t seen it, nor did he know about its existence at all. After looking at the video, he did say, “Is copyright an issue for them to use our sounds? [Laughs] It’s very flattering. We finally got a cameo together.”
Ask Game Informer said that this meant Mickey Mouse could be used in one of his games, Miyamoto shook his head and responded, “They are very strict. [Laughs].”
We’ve posted the full Mickey Mouse short below for those that are interested. The Mario homage comes in at the 2:25 mark.
On Miiverse, Nostatic Software mentioned that an update is planned for PixelMaker. Users will have access to more options for inserting text into images, such as additional fonts, configurable text, and the ability to outline text.
Here’s the notice from Miiverse:
A release date for the update wasn’t mentioned, but it should be coming soon.
Gamer “Requag” has taken on the task of recreating Pokemon FireRed in Minecraft. It runs through a virtual Game Boy Advance by using structure blocks, which are designed for map makers.
The project isn’t finished just yet. Functions like combat and dialogue aren’t included at this time, but they should be added in later on.
Here’s a look at the progress thus far:
To test out Pokemon FireRed in Minecraft, players need version 1.10 of the game.
New screenshots from Quest of Dungeons are in that specifically show off the 3DS version. We have the full set below.
Two commercials are in for Aikatsu Stars! First Appeal, the Japanese free-to-play eShop game that will proceed the full title Aikatsu Stars! My Special Appeal. Both can be seen below.
Teku Studios has prepared a new making-of video for Candle video that shows how the team created the game’s graphics in a handmade, traditional way. Watch it below.
Yesterday, Aksys Games revealed at Anime Expo that the company is localizing Chase: Cold Case Investigations. That wasn’t the only 3DS announcement made at the panel though. Aksys is also planning on bringing over the sequel to Ninja Usagimaru: The Gem of Blessings.
The first Ninja Usagimaru launched in North America and Europe last year. It has players going through various levels and rescuing villagers in various levels by overcoming traps and gimmicks. The new game builds on the foundation of the original.
Here’s a Japanese trailer for the game:
The new Ninja Usagimaru will be released on the eShop this fall.
Thanks to Jose for the tip.
More off-screen Sonic Boom: Fire & Ice footage has emerged. In addition to showing more of the Ice World, we also get a look at the opening. View the video below.
Red Column has determined that 3Souls – Episode 1: Nelesa will release in Europe on July 28. North America will follow “a few weeks later”.
The first episode will be priced at €3.60 / £3.20 / $3.90. Additional episodes (2 and 3) will have lower prices.
3Souls makes use of the GamePad for gameplay, and a co-op mode incorporates the use of a Wii Remote or Wii U Pro Controller.
A new trailer for 3Souls – Episode 1: Nelesa can be found below.
