Splatoon’s latest update is now available for download. Version 2.4.0 can be obtained by starting up the game or by letting your Wii U download it automatically. 393MB of free space is required for the update.
If you missed yesterday’s post, we’re sharing the patch notes once again. You can read them in full after the break.
Nintendo has added in yet another Event Course and costume in Super Mario Maker. Players can begin taking on the “Nintendo Badge Arcade” level, which nets them an arcade bunny costume once finished.
Here’s a trailer for the costume:
And the Nintendo Badge Arcade course description:
“Hey there! Welcome to the Nintendo Badge Arcade! It’s the place to be if you want to play crane games and catch badges you can use to jazz up your HOME Menu.
…HUH?! The arcade got turned into a Mario course?! Ooh. I hope the boss approved this, or I’m gonna be in big trouble!”
Renegade Kid co-founder recently made some comments in which he said sales have been disappointing for Xeodrifter and Moon Chronicles on the 3DS eShop. Unfortunately for the developer, it also appears that Dementium Remastered is off to a slow start.
In an interview with We Got This Covered, Watsham said that the game’s sales “have been very low so far.” He added that they’ve been “Much lower than I expected.”
Watsham’s words in full:
“The sales of Dementium Remastered have been very low so far. Much lower than I expected. My expectations were based on how our other games have sold, and as such were already quite conservative. I am very surprised that they are lower than my conservative projections. We will still continue with releasing the game in Europe and also release Dementium II Remastered, but the sales results definitely make us pause with future development on 3DS beyond Mutant Mudds Super Challenge and Treasurenauts, which is very unfortunate. In an ideal world, I would love to continue developing games for 3DS. It is my personal favorite console to play games on, but if we can’t generate enough revenue from our games to cover the cost of 4 people with no office space, then something must change.”
Yet another Composition Mode video has come online for Tadpole Treble. Watch it below, which celebrates Star Wars: The Force Awakens.

Polarium Advance was one of the new games added to the European Wii U Virtual Console last week. Several minutes of footage is in the video below.
Natsume posted the first official gameplay video from Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories on its Facebook page today. Although it’s specifically from the iOS build, the footage gives us an idea as to what we can expect from the Wii U version. Take a look at the video below.
Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories (iOS)
Hello, everyone! This is Taka, the producer of Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories, a new Harvest Moon game coming to iOS soon as well as Android, Wii U, and PC in 2016. We know fans were very excited by our reveal of our first screenshots for the mobile versions, and we're excited to bring you a new treat today. To show you how Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories looks in action, we've made a little video for you of the iOS version. But let me step aside and have Mike (that is what I named him, but you can name your character whatever you want) take over…—–Hey there, everyone! Mike here! I thought it might be cool to show you my average day here in Chestnut Town, so let's get right to it.I start the day off by taking care of my pets. I have two: a bobcat and a dog. I still dunno how I was able to train that bobcat, but hey, it hasn't tried to eat me yet! I make sure to feed them both before I leave for the day.After leaving the house, it's time to take care of my crops! Luckily, Brutus has upgraded several of my tools, so watering is a cinch! It looks like there's some spinach that's ready to be harvested today. Perfect timing! I also take this time to clear my land of any stray rocks or weeds that may have popped up overnight.Next, it's time to take care of my animals. First, I clean up the barn using my pitchfork. I can use the compost I clean up as fertilizer, though, so it's not as bad as you might think. Some of my animals need cleaning as well, so I take the time to do that too. Normally, I would also milk and sheer any animals that need it, but it doesn't seem like they do today. Naturally, before I leave, I make sure to leave feed in their feedbox, as they're quite hungry in the morning!After that, it's off to my chicken coop. Just like my barn, I clean it up using my pitchfork. You might not think it to look at them, but chickens need to be loved and held, so I take the time to do that before gathering the eggs they've laid. Just like the animals in my barn, my chickens are hungry in the morning, so I feed them before I leave.Next, it's off to the mountain to see the girl I've got my eye on, Andrea! She's an ore researcher, but also likes to relax at the bar after work. My kinda gal! In any case, I make it a point to talk to her every day, as well as give her a gift. I still haven't confessed my feelings to her, so get kinda nervous when I talk to her these days…While I'm at the mountain, I figure I should get in some fishing for the day. Let's see what I can catch today… A crucian carp? Not bad. And a pretty big one, too!Now it's time to head to Chestnut Town. I want to sell Sam some broccoli, so I talk to him first. Boy, that Sam sure has a unique way of talking! At first, it was a bit difficult to understand what he was saying to me, but now I gots it down, capisce?Next, it's off to Iris' Flower Shop to pick up some flower seeds. I've had my eye on these white rose seeds for a while, so let me get…let's see, how about 15 of them? Oh no! My bag is full! But that's OK! The seeds I just bought were sent directly to the storage in my house, so I can just take them out from there when I get home.After that, I think I'll stop by Hanna's Restaurant to say "hi" to Hanna and her daughter, Emily. Hanna's food is amazing! I've bought some of her recipes so I can cook her dishes at home. Anyway, her daughter Emily is great, too. She's a bit too hyper for my tastes as far as romance goes, but some people like that in a girl. She's a great friend, though!Finally, it's off to bed for the day. *Whew*! I'm exhausted! Farmwork starts early in the morning, so it's best to get to bed around 10 PM or so. And who knows what tomorrow may bring? I need to be prepared for anything!
