A couple of videos were uploaded last night for SEGA 3D Reprint Archives 2. Below, you can watch promos for both 3D Puyo Puyo Tsu and 3D Fantasy Zone II W.
The Hyrule Gold Edition New 3DS XL will finally be launching in Japan next month. When it hits store shelves, the system will come with a little bonus.
Nintendo has revealed that a download code will be included for a classic Link costume usable with a fairy in Hyrule Warriors Legends. Note, however, that the game itself is not included.
We’ll probably be seeing this costume/DLC when Hyrule Warriors Legends heads west in March. It’s also unlikely that it will be exclusive to the bundle in Japan.
With 2016 just a few days away, Japanese outlet 4Gamer caught up with a wide array of developers – 146 in total – to talk about the upcoming year. Here are some of the more Nintendo-related teases:
Capcom
Producer Masachika Kawata (Resident Evil Revelations): “First we’ll release Umbrella Corps for the shooter fans, but other than that, I think this year we may be able to make a number of interesting announcements. Please look forward to them.”
Director Shu Takumi (Ace Attorney, Ghost Trick, The Great Ace Attorney): Currently, for next year, I’m preparing my next project, and am working in parallel on supervising the screenplay for the Ace Attorney anime that will begin in April.”
Square Enix
Chief Planner Takashi Anzai: “It’s Dragon Quest‘s 30th anniversary! We have a number of projects, so please look forward to it.”
Spike Chunsoft
Director Kotaro Uchikoshi (Punch Line, Zero Time Dilemma): “In 2016, we’ll release the game version of Punch Line and the sequel to a certain title. The former is a complete game, and has an even deeper scenario than the anime dense in content. I think I’ll be able to share more information about the latter early in the year, so please look forward to it.”
Level-5
President Akihiro Hino (Yo-kai Watch, Ni no Kuni, etc.): “Level-5 is always thinking of and proposing new things to the world. I can’t let out the details yet, but in 2016 too we have all new ideas and various new titles to announce. Among them, there is also a sequel to a very popular series.”
Last week, Super Mario Maker received its 1.30 update. This added some new elements and compatibility with the Bookmark portal site. Today, Nintendo has followed that up with another small patch.
Super Mario Maker’s 1.31 update is now available to download. You can grab it by booting up the game, or wait for it to be downloaded automatically.
Given the small increase in the version number, there’s not too much behind today’s update. Nintendo says some problems have been fixed so that the game can be played more comfortably.
298MB of free space is required to download the update.
Splatoon’s updates will soon be coming to an end, but new content is being added for just a little while longer. The game’s latest map, Piranha Pit, has now joined the rotation. You can see footage of it right here.
