This week’s Famitsu scans are now available. Highlighted games include 7th Dragon III, Hyrule Warriors Legends (including a first look at Skull Kid and Phanton Ganon), Medabots 9, Monster Strike, Pro Yakyuu Famista Returns, Project X Zone 2, Shin Megami Tensei IV Final, and Splatoon (artbook). Scans of each title can be found in the gallery below.
A new YouTube update is now available to download for Wii U. It’s not too big, as the download is under 100MB.
We’re not entirely sure what today’s update encompasses. It does seem like there may have been a bit of a redesign – see the GamePad image below. There might be additional ads as well. If anyone has further insight to share about the update, let us know!
Thanks to DJMusicClues and Jake for the tip.

Double the pleasure! Nintendo of Europe has always been generous with their combo packs and extras; they’ve outdone themselves this time. Hoping to cash in on their best-selling games of the year, a Wii U bundled with Mario Kart 8 and Splatoon will release on October 30th. Physical copies of the game will not be included; instead, the Wii U will come with a pre-installed copy of Mario Kart 8 and a download code for Splatoon.
The Bundle will retail for £240.
There is currently no active link to the bundle on the Nintendo UK shop but we’ll have one up as soon as it becomes available.
After a Japan-only Haikyu!! title last year, a second 3DS title is in development for the beloved sports manga. Via a translated Weekly Shonen Jump scan, we see the player will create their own fantasy volleyball team to take on the road and vie for first place. Here, an entirely new story line is on display with the player as character.
No release or localization information is available at this time.
A couple of months ago, Nintendo had made the announcement that it would be updating Miiverse with a new look and brand new features to make it feel more sociable and really have a focus on user-created content across 3DS and Wii U. We saw new additions such as the ability to create Play Journals, the ability to create little notes and screenshots based on your experiences and talk a bit about them, Screenshot Albums, a great way to sort and organize photos you’ve taken in games you post to Miiverse, and tons more. The website got some added features also, but it looked fairly the same. Today, suddenly, Miiverse gets a huge overhaul, and it’s gorgeous.
Head on over to Miiverse on the web to check out the brand new layout for yourself!

Update: Character video added below.
Nintendo’s upcoming collaboration with ATLUS brings the awesome Fire Emblem and Shin Megami Tensei crossover we’ve all been waiting for. As we get closer to the Japanese release, we’ll be seeing more and more of the game, and Nintendo has just released a brand new trailer showing off a bit of the story for the upcoming title. The trailer also features its “debut single” which will ostensibly be released sometime in the future to promote the game even further. Check out the brand new trailer below!
