Nintendo UK is showing off some of the indie-made courses in Super Mario Maker in a new video series. Get a look at the latest video below, which focuses on FAST Racing Neo developer Shin’en.
Nintendo released another new Mario Tennis: Ultra Smash trailer today, which shows a couple of the secret characters we’ve previously heard about. You can view it after the break.
As Halloween and the latest National StreetPass Weekend approaches, Nintendo has sent out a new Mii to 3DS users in North America. System owners should be getting Kyle from Nintendo via SpotPass so long as they have SpotPass enabled. He comes with the Boo hat and greeting posted above.
Even more details and screenshots for Genei Ibun Roku #FE have been made available. Check out the latest below.
– From the real world of Tokyo, players will visit an area known as the “Idolsphere”
– This other world has various gimmicks that block players’ paths
– There are many enemy Mirages here as well
– Gimmicks are tailored to each location
– Ex: in Shibuya’s “106” building dungeon, the goal is to get to the top floor by moving floors using a giant mannequin arm
– Break into battle when you make contact with an enemy symbol
– Characters will perform actions when you give them commands
– When you strike an enemy’s weak point, a “Session Attack” will occur and you’ll let out a number of continuous attacks
– Get experience points, skill points, and Performa by winning battles
– As you amass skill points, you can acquire new skills
– Use Performa as material to create new weapons
Earlier this week, Nintendo held its latest financial results briefing. The event consisted of both a presentation and a Q&A. The latter part has now been published online as a transcript, though only in Japanese at the moment.
Twitter user Cheesemeister has come up with a few translations of notable topics. These include more on Nintendo and mobile, the company’s usage of IPs and new IPs, and use of Facebook and Twitter. You can read on below for the full translations.
The smartphone app market seems to be out of new ideas and growing boring, do you intend to dramatically change gameplay with your games? The app you just introduced (Miitomo) may just be 1 app, but isn’t heavily emphasizing communication a bit off from Nintendo’s strengths?
Kimishima: Miitomo is a unique app and can be enjoyed by communicating using Miis, even by those not normally in constant communication. Miitomo is closely integrated with My Nintendo and Nintendo Account. We’ve already demonstrated the joy of discovering things about people you thought you knew well in internal tests during development. With the likable Mii IP, smart device users will enjoy it. Other than Miitomo, we’re thinking of apps that integrate w/ consoles, as well as things just for mobile and users who don’t normally play.
It was previously revealed through an eShop listing that Toki Tori 3D would be hitting Europe on November 5. Two Tribes has now confirmed this, and has also said that the game will be out in all regions on the same day – including North America. Pricing is set at $1.99 / €1.99.
Two Tribes also sent along an overview of Toki Tori 3D, which features new content. Head past the break to read it in full.
Capcom showed off a bunch of Project X Zone 2 footage during a recent show event on YouTube. You can watch the various gameplay below.
By the way, there is something we want to pass along from the Japanese Project X Zone 2 blog. In the west, the game will be pretty much the same as its Japanese counterpart.
VIZ Media has high hopes for Yo-kai Watch. Waell Oueslati, EMEA associate brand manager at Viz Media, recently told MCV that he believes the franchise could be the next Pokemon.
Oueslati said:
“This will be the next big boys’ brand, essentially the next Pokémon. We have very high expectations for the market and for the UK. We are certainly bigger than Pokémon in Japan; we currently have 95 per cent market share in that region.”
In case you’re curious, VIZ Media is in charge of Yo-kai Watch’s comics and TV show in both North America and Europe.
The physical version of Shovel Knight is out today in Europe, and will be available early next week in North America. Take a look at some photos of the retail title below.
