At Japan Expo in Paris this Summer, both Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka were present at a panel / stage show and talked a bit about their creations during their time at Nintendo. Mario was an especially big topic, given the series 30th anniversary this year. The video below is a small excerpt from the show. Among other things, Tezuka and Miyamoto talk about level design in Super Mario Maker and give tips on how to build a great level.
Mixi published another round of screenshots and art from Monster Strike. View all of the various images in the gallery below.
Rocket Company has sent out official assets pertaining to Medabots 9.
First up, a teaser trailer:
The game’s website is now open as well. That can be accessed here.
Lastly, we have several screenshots and art from the game:
LEGO Jurassic World launched back in June. Since then, it has sold roughly four million units, according to a report from The Wall Street Journal. It’s not known how much LEGO Jurassic World sold on Wii U and 3DS specifically, but Warner Bros. must be happy with the game’s sales overall.
Some of you may recall that PEGI rated Slender: The Arrival for Wii U nearly a year ago. But sadly, nothing ever came from that listing. It’s curious then that Slender: The Arrival has once again received a rating, this time from German classification board USK.
If there weren’t any plans to bring Slender: The Arrival to Wii U, it wouldn’t make much sense to have the game rated – twice now. It is strange though that the first classification was found last year and yet a Wii U release still hasn’t happened. Perhaps the inclusion on USK’s website is a sign that we’ll finally be seeing the game on the eShop soon?
NWPlayer123, a person known within the gaming scene for data mining various games such as Splatoon, posted a brief chat she had with another person who has been snooping around the Wii U eShop. Supposedly, Nintendo recently added in a new title ID for The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. It’s not quite clear if this would be referring to a simple re-release of the Wii game or an HD version (though the latter is mentioned in the conversation).
It’s not possible to download anything from the eShop. Only the home icon was recovered – it’s actually the image above, but smaller.
It’s true that this could have been a test or an error on Nintendo’s part. I’d personally assume that if it was intentional, there are only plans to bring the original Wii game over much like Super Mario Galaxy 2 and other titles.
The Mega Yarn Yoshi amiibo is currently available for pre-order on Amazon Germany
. Even if you’re in the U.S., you should be able to have it shipped to your address. I’ll try to keep an eye on things and update this post if pre-orders sell out.
Later this week, XSEED Games will be hosting an event, and a number of announcements will be made. It will apparently be taking place on Wednesday. We’re not sure how much Nintendo news there will be, though hopefully we’ll hear about a Return to PopoloCrois: A Story of Seasons Fairytale release date at the very least.
Nintendo put up the first episode of Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer TV on its YouTube page today. You can watch it below.
