An art book based on Splatoon was recently made available in Japan. Through one of the images, we’re able to see what looks like urinal warp zones. It seems that, at one point, the developers thought about letting players transform into squids and use urinals/sinks to warp to different areas on the map.
Nintendo just published the North American Yo-kai Watch launch trailer. Give it a look below.
Natsume won’t be bringing any additional titles to the North American Wii U Virtual Console this year. Instead, we’ll need to wait until 2016 for any additional titles. That means we won’t be seeing the likes of Medabots: Rokusho/Metabee and the two Medabots AX games until a couple of months from now at the very least.
Interacting with fans on Twitter, Natsume said:
@MrJonFaust Nope. 2016.

@SeafoamGaming @MrJonFaust The former has never been announced, the latter has never had a date, so…no, not delayed.

Medabots: Rokusho and Metabee have been available in Europe since October. The Medabots AX games are due out in the region this Thursday.
Nintendo showed off three of Yo-kai Watch’s playable characters a few days ago. The final game, which is slated for Friday in North America, will have over 200 in total.
Since Yo-kai Watch is just three days away from debuting overseas, Nintendo is highlighting another pair of character from the 3DS title. First, here’s a look at Shmoopie:
“Awwwww. Shmoopie can overcome you with the power of cuteness. This Yo-kai is cute enough to melt anyone’s heart — and boy does he know it! Shmoopie can be quite the schemer, so look out!”
And Snotsolong:
“Getting the winter season sniffles? It might be because of Snotsolong. Snotsolong gives you a runny nose that never stops. A crane Yo-kai with an insanely runny nose, Snotsolong’s snot is so heavy he can’t even fly! He likes to share his miserable cold with everyone.”

Nintendo has another 3DS-focused commercial up as the holidays approach. Check it out below.
There haven’t been too many sales surrounding Super Mario 3D World as of late, but Amazon
has a fairly good discount. It’s down from $60 to $43 at the moment. By purchasing 3D World, you’ll save $17 (or 28 percent).
Five new expansion packs have launched for LEGO Dimensions. These are based on Doctor Who, LEGO Ninjago, The Simpsons and The LEGO Movie.
The different packs offer an extra level, buildable characters, vehicles, and gadgets with special in-game abilities. All expansion pack characters can also unlock the corresponding Adventure World of the same brand.
That’s not all for LEGO Dimensions, as a new “Hire-a-Hero” feature update has gone live. This lets players sample a selection of Wave 1 expansion pack characters using studs collected in the game. To take advantage of the functionality, they can select the hologram minifigure near certain hint stones to unlock characters for a limited time to try out their special abilities to solve problems and complete puzzles. More characters from subsequent waves of expansion packs will be added down the line.
Check out some Doctor Who gameplay below. You can also find an overview of the new packs after the break.
Disney Interactive has released four new playable characters for Disney Infinity 3.0.
Here’s an overview of the latest figures:
ULTRON: Ultron, the world’s most advanced robot and maniacal Super Villain, will stop at nothing to destroy humanity and their protectors, the mighty Avengers. With the ability to summon duplicate robotic sentries, the character uses magnetic pull followed by a powerful blast of energy to defeat his foes.
HULKBUSTER: Hulkbuster, the mega-sized armor created by Tony Stark, combines the incredible force of Hulk with the tech capabilities of Iron Man. A brute tank, Hulkbuster’s powerful combo attacks are great at dealing with nearby groups of enemies while his Thruster Dash makes up for his lack of overall speed, allowing him to close distance with targets easily. Missiles, thrusters for flight and a suit-integrated tractor beam complement this powerhouse.
DARTH MAUL: The deadly Darth Maul uses his double-bladed Lightsaber™ and dark side Force™ powers in death-defying duels against his enemies.
SPOT: Spot is a wild, tough and tenacious human boy who thinks and acts like a dog. Using his hands, feet and teeth he keeps enemies at bay.
Also out today is a Power Disc Pack based on The Good Dinosaur. It comes with four Power Discs that introduce dinosaur mounts to the Toy Box.
Those are as follows:
· Arlo – Create epic adventures with Arlo, your big-hearted Apatosaurus friend.
· Nash – Call on Nash, the tough cattle ranching T. rex, to help you explore the Toy Box.
· Butch – No Toy Box adventure is too big for Butch, the toughest T. rex you’ll ever meet.
· Ramsey – Call on Ramsey to help you seek out rustlers and stomp around the Toy Box.
Take a look at a trailer for Ultron and Hulkbuster in Disney Infinity 3.0 below.
Stella Glow is due out in Europe on March 11, NIS America announced today. 3DS owners will be able to purchase the game either physically or digitally.
In North America, Stella Glow will be arriving in a couple of weeks – November 17 to be exact.
Head past the break for an overview of Stella Glow.
Swapnote’s Nikki lives! Well, sort of.
WayForward recently issued a new Shantae: Half-Genie Hero update to its Kickstarter backers, showing off the fan-made enemy called “Ikki”. The character, with its design and name, is a clear homage to the 3DS application’s guide.
Nintendo rolled out Swapnote in 2011 as a way for 3DS owners to message their friends. However, it was shut down about two years later. Nintendo said in its announcement that Swapnote had been used by some to “exchange offensive material,” and felt that ending the SpotPass feature would be the best way to remedy the situation.
