Yesterday, Zelda: Tri Force Heroes director Hiromasa Shikata stopped by Miiverse to chat a bit about the new 3DS game. While he didn’t reveal anything overly major, he did comment on the doppels, multiplayer, and more.
Head past the break to read the Miiting in full. It sounds like we’ll also be getting part 2 at some point in the future.
Nearly an hour of footage has come in for the recently-released Wii U eShop game Slender: The Arrival. Watch the video below.
Earlier this week, NPD put out its U.S. sales report for September 2015. Nintendo said that 3DS hardware sales are up almost 25 percent through the first nine months of 2015 year-over-year while Wii U increased by nearly 110 percent over sales in August.
Using the information provided by Nintendo, the 3DS sold roughly 120,000 units in the U.S. last month. Things are slightly less clear with Wii U, but it’s estimated that the console moved around 85,000 units.
That’s not the only piece of data stemming from the September 2015 NPD report. Via creamsugar, we have sales for a pair of 3DS games. Hatsune Miku: Project Mirai DX sold 24,000 copies in the United States last month while Senran Kagura 2: Deep Crimson moved 10,000 units.
Kit and Krysta from Nintendo Minute have dedicated their latest episode to The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes, which is out now. You can watch them try out multiplayer with Adam below.
A few hours ago, Nintendo announced that the seventh North American Splatfest will be held next weekend. It turns out that the same event – though with a different topic – is planned for Japan. The new Japanese Splatfest pits love up against money.
Nintendo is also making a notable change with the new Splatfest. Going forward, wins will be more important for all regions. Results will now be calculated by multiplying the win percentage by six and adding that amount to the popularity percentage. Previously, win percentage was only multiplied four times.
Several new games out came out this week on the Wii U and 3DS eShops. If you’re interested in checking out what’s new in screenshot form, take a peak at the gallery below.
Hello. Nintendo Everything looks a bit different. Have a look around!
What you’re seeing on the site at the moment is the first part of our redesign. We’re doing this in a couple of steps. One reason is because NE is absolutely massive – we have over 60,000 posts, and even more images than that. So we want to do things a bit slowly and methodically in hopes of not killing the site!
We’re starting out by introducing the core new theme. Around next week or so, we’ll be adding in some new functionality. But in terms of how Nintendo Everything will look going forward, this is it for the most part!
Even though some colors and design elements have changed, Nintendo Everything is still the same as before. We have the same blog layout. The sidebar is practically the same. We still have the featured content area, though I think it looks a bit nicer! Of course, it goes without saying that our approach to Nintendo coverage is the same. Nintendo Everything has just been spruced up for the better.
One big aspect I’d like to touch upon is that Nintendo Everything now fully responds to all devices. The site should fit your PC, phone, tablet, or whatever else you’re using. We tried cramming responsive functionality into the last version of the site – probably not the best idea – and it ultimately didn’t work out. On the other hand, the new version has been built from the ground up to support practically all devices.
Let us know what you think of the new site thus far! If you believe you’ve encountered a bug/issue, definitely leave a comment here or send in a message. I do want to stress that we’re not actually done here yet. By the end of next week, you’ll see the new site fully realized.
Indie developer XenoHorizon has a new game lined up for the Wii U eShop. “Test Your Might” is scheduled for November 12 in North America.
Here’s the official overview:
– Three sets of questions/problems to get your brain working. Analyze, memorize, and think outside the box!
– Starts off easy with Mind Breeze, but gets harder in Mind Tease and even harder in Mind Burst. However, all problems are unlocked from the start!
– Stress-free test: you can take a break or skip questions, and your final grade won’t go on a report card.
– Great to share with friends and family—tackle the questions together or watch someone else play and have a good laugh!
– Local 2-Player mini-game Memory Wars lets you pit your memory against someone else in a simple, speedy fashion, with silly quotes and faces to go along with it. (Requires Wii U Pro Controller)Test Your Mind was designed to be a quick, fun blast of joy you can share with others. We want you to think “wow, that’s not what I expected†or “that’s kind of silly†or… well, something. Think something because we want you to think! That’s what the game is for. We kind of hope you get stuck (for a short while, anyway) or else our problems probably weren’t hard enough. If you are satisfied with the end result, the best thing you could do for us and maybe yourself would be to share it—I mean, fun is one of those things where when you share it, it increases, not decreases, right? We hope so, anyway.
And the trailer:
Nintendo published a demo for Yo-kai Watch on the 3DS eShop a couple of days ago. View some footage from the download below.
