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.
Fans have been waiting a long time for SteamWorld Heist, but by all accounts, the game should still be releasing this year. Nothing is set yet, but Image & Form hopes to have the game done in a couple of months. CEO Brjann Sigurgeirsson told Gamer Professionals, “Our goal is to aim for a release in early December… but I won’t make promises.”
That window should mainly apply to the 3DS eShop. A Wii U version is planned as well, but the game will only be out on Nintendo’s handheld at launch.
Zelda fans in France have an opportunity to obtain a poster by pre-ordering Tri Force Heroes at select retailers. Each poster will be numbered. As of now, no pre-order bonuses have been announced for North America.
Nintendo has published the North American commercial for The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes. Check it out below.
Wicked Monsters Blast! HD Plus is due out on the European Wii U eShop this Thursday (presumably North America won’t be too far behind). Take a look at the official trailer below.
Toys “R” Us seems to have nabbed another amiibo exclusive in the United States. On Twitter, the retailer teased that Mega Yarn Yoshi – as well as a restock of Villager – will only be available at its stores.
Here’s the relevant message:
A-Mii-zing! The #amiibo Mii 3-pk. is based on your Mii & available 11/1 in store only. Coming soon: Another surprise. pic.twitter.com/VR9xXHF8vU

An image surfaced yesterday of Mega Yarn Yoshi on the Toys “R” Us holiday big book. Given today’s information, it now makes sense that they’d want to feature the amiibo prominently in its promotional materials.
