It’s the final Game of the Year selections in this week’s episode of Nintendo Minute. Kit and Krysta, along with MatPat “The Game Theorist”, Lamarr Wilson and Jirard “The Completionist”, present their picks for 2015 and fan categories. Watch the full video below.

Since National StreetPass Weekend is taking place once again, Nintendo is promoting the event with a small gift. 3DS owners who have SpotPass enabled will find that Kyle has stopped by StreetPass Mii Plaza again. He comes wearing gold pants!

Update: No real surprise here, but Freedom Planet 2 is officially confirmed for at least one Nintendo platform.



GalaxyTrail has announced Freedom Planet 2, a follow-up to the Wii U eShop game released in October. We’ve included a brief trailer and teaser below.

“Join the heroes of Avalice as they face their greatest challenge yet! An ancient terror has emerged from the depths of the ocean. Merga, a water dragon from Avalice’s oldest and deadliest war, has been freed from her crystal prison as a consequence of the Kingdom Stone’s destruction. War is imminent once again, but this time, the heroes are split between sides. As friendships are tested, will the girls stand united when Bakunawa rises?”

There’s quite a bit that’s new/changed in Freedom Planet 2. GalaxyTrail is updating the game’s style, and will introduce features such as a flexible difficulty, guarding, and revivals. Details about each of these can be found after the break.

Happy holidays!

Posted 9 years ago by in News | 5 Comments

Hi everyone!

Just wanted to take a brief moment to wish everyone a happy holiday. Be it Christmas, New Year’s… whatever you celebrate or are looking forward to in the near future, enjoy the times ahead!

I’ll be around on the site per usual to take care of any news that pops up. Things have been a bit quieter these past few weeks outside of the Nintendo Direct and Smash Bros. presentation, and I expect that to continue due to the holidays. It’ll be business as usual for me though, aside from possibly getting a little more rest and hopefully overcoming a very bad cold/virus/whatever I’ve had for well over a week.

Thank you all for the support in 2015, and I look forward to sharing more Nintendo news with you all next year. Some exciting things await us in 2016!

Nintendo updated its investor site with a new message from company president Tatsumi Kimishima. This is actually the first letter from Kimishima aside from the one included in a previous business report.

In his note, Kimishima mainly touches on further making use of Nintendo IP. He (briefly) brings up NX, smart devices, and more. Read the full message below.

Since the launch of the Family Computer System (called Nintendo Entertainment System outside Japan) in 1983, Nintendo has been offering the world unique and original entertainment products under the development concept of hardware and software integration. In the field of home entertainment, the video game industry is one of the few industries established in Japan that spread around the world, and Nintendo has established itself as a well-known brand truly representing video game culture throughout the world.

With the belief in our mission to put smiles on people’s faces around the world through products and services, we have followed our basic strategy of expanding the gaming population by offering products that can be enjoyed by everyone regardless of age, gender or gaming experience. We now want to take this mission a step further by increasing the number of people who have access to Nintendo’s intellectual property (Nintendo IP).

We know that Mega Man Legacy Collection’s 3DS version will have content not included in the previously-released versions in the form of extra challenges. That isn’t all, however. It seems that the 3DS edition also has artwork not featured on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and PC, such as U.S. Mega Man boxes.
