A few more minutes of footage has come in showing the Wii U eShop game Zombie Defense. Take a look at the video below.
Last month, a listing was spotted on Toys “R” Us for a physical version of Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams Director’s Cut. The game had been on track for September 8 (yes, tomorrow!), but it seems as though a delay has entered the picture. Toys “R” Us now lists Giana Sisters: Twisted Dreams Director’s Cut for October 9.
Thanks to Jared for the tip.
Nintendo Direct was an initiative created by Satoru Iwata. But with his passing back in July, some have wondered if this is something that will continue going forward.
There is at least one piece of news which gives hope for the future. A Nintendo of America job listing for a motion graphics artist mentions that this person will be responsible for editing video/audio for Nintendo Directs, among other content. That’s not a definitive answer regarding the status of the presentations, but it’s encouraging!
Here’s the job listing in full for those that are interested:
Catles has been pushed back to Q1 2016, publisher BadLand Indie has announced. The game was previously scheduled for release this month.
In its announcement, BadLand Indie said that the team is “still hard at work and can promise it will be well worth the wait”.

Shigeru Miyamoto has addressed the possibility of another Super Mario Galaxy game. In an interview with Eurogamer, Miyamoto told the site:
“[A new Mario Galaxy] is always in discussion. But even with Mario 64 there was a lot of feedback about motion sickness with the 3D or maybe us making it too difficult.”
“Going back to our roots and making New Super Mario Bros., anyone can play that. So that’s why we went back. We’re always thinking, is there a middle ground where people who do enjoy the 3D worlds of Galaxy and those who enjoy New Super Mario Bros. can both enjoy it? We’re always looking at those opportunities.”
“On the other hand, me and [Yoshiaki] Koizumi-san, director of Galaxy, are always looking to challenge Galaxy and do another 3D action title. However we can’t make so many games at once in parallel. But as the hardware technology gets better and advances, I think there will be a lot of opportunity for both options.”
