Nintendo Everything

Just a few days ago, Nintendo brought out the Splatoon artbook in Japan. More photos of the various pages have since surfaced showing things like female Inkling and Callie/Marie concepts, Octavio storyboard, and more. Take a look at all of the images 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.

Nintendo has published the North American commercial for The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes. Check it out below.

Another Wii U game is on sale over at Amazon and Best Buy. Both retailers have Mario Party 10 for $34.99, which is $15 lower than the original asking price. Like with Splatoon, this price should be valid through Saturday.

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:

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.

The inclusion of online multiplayer in The Legend of Zelda: Tri Force Heroes can be at least partially attributed to feedback Nintendo received from Four Swords Anniversary Edition. In an interview with 4Gamer, Zelda producer Eiji Aonuma mentioned that the team learned via surveys on Club Nintendo that players wondered about the lack of Internet functionality within the DSiWare title. With Tri Force Heroes, the team wanted to make sure that online support would be integrated.
