The official Japanese Tri Force Heroes website updated today with some infos about the “world” of the game. Some of the info we already knew about, like the fact that the game consists of 32 levels. At the beginning of each stage, each player picks one out of the following nine weapons:
- sword
- bow
- bombs
- hookshot
- boomerang
- fire gloves
- water rod
- ice jar
- hammer
There are also some additional game modes available:
- Additional special levels which are based on the original 32 levels but with an added twist, like being forced to complete the level with only one heart or while being chased by a Wallmaster. You will be able to earn rare materials this way.
- Versus Mode: Fight against other players and earn rare materials.
- a Boss Rush mode, where (surprise!) you will fight against the various bosses found in the 32 levels.
- Daily Luck: a minigame where you can also earn rare materials.
The website also reveals that you can take screenshots at any time and post them to Miiverse after completing a level.
Finally, check out some new screenshots below:

A new update for Super Mario Maker is now available to download. Not too long ago, Nintendo released version 1.10.
Nintendo says of today’s update: “Adjustments have been made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience.” To download the patch, you’ll need roughly 223MB of free storage.
Nintendo has shared the first commercials for Picross 3D 2, both of which are below. You’ll also find more footage after the break featuring a father and daughter playing the game.
The Ignition Factor is slated for the North American Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow, Nintendo’s website confirms. You’ll be able to pick up the classic title for $7.99.
Here’s the official description from Nintendo’s listing:
“Take control of a brave firefighter as he battles to save people from towering infernos and flame-filled factories. You have a large variety of equipment to help you with your task. The hero isn’t afraid to get physical by kicking objects, climbing ropes, and jumping in order to get to all areas. But time works against you as the fires get gradually worse and you run out of breathable air. Different types of fire need to be extinguished using different methods, so you’ll need to use your equipment to the best of your ability. Enlist the help of the fire engine and your fellow firefighters to extinguish all the flames you can see. Keep your cool to rescue all of the victims, getting them out of the fire and back to safety!”
A few minutes of footage from the Wii U Virtual Console release of Tecmo Bowl is now available. Take a look at the video below.
Twitter user NWPlayer123, who is known for data mining Nintendo games, has come across an interesting discovery. It appears that there are files within the game for the Angry Sun. That’s leading to speculation of DLC, though there’s definitely no such confirmation currently.
NWPlayer123 also came across a couple of other interesting things. Also found through data mining, it seems as though there were originally plans to allow players to place Bullet Bills without a launcher. Moreover, Goomba’s Shoe was considered for New Super Mario Bros. U mode.
The latest episode of Nintendo Minute once again focuses on Super Mario Maker. In today’s video, Kit and Krysta take a look at even more of their favorite levels. You can watch it below.
