The folks over at Anime News Network have published an interview with Suda51. The two sides talked a bunch about No More Heroes, Killer7, and even the Silver Case DS port that never made it to market.
You can find a few excerpts that we’ve picked out below. For the full interview, head on over here.
Nintendo will be present at Gamescom 2015 next week. At the show, there will be plenty of live streams to check out. It seems like Nintendo will have streams going on August 6, 7, and 8 on its Twitch page here.
I wouldn’t expect too much from this, as we’ll probably just be seeing games like Super Mario Maker and Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer. Still, it’s a nice thing for Nintendo to do!
Thanks to Shinun for the tip.
VIZ Media has uploaded the entire video for the Zelda: A Link to the Past graphic novel panel at San Diego Comic Con 2015. Check it out below.
Nintendo’s website contains an additional tidbit about Splatoon’s August update.
In Private Battle, two to eight friends will be able to battle together in customizable matches. Nintendo’s page also says that it “allows players to hold small-scale custom tournaments using up to 8 Wii U consoles and games on a single Internet connection.”
Good stuff, Nintendo! Very good stuff.

Nintendo of Europe uploaded a new trailer for Super Mario Maker today. It starts off with a trip down memory lane, and then gets into some action from the upcoming Wii U title. Watch the video below.
Good Mood Creators announced a new mode for its 2D platformer Mekazoo today. The game will feature local cooperative multiplayer, the studio has revealed. This mode will debut at PAX Prime 2015.
Here’s how it works:
In Mekazoo, the stylish mekanimals challenge levels in pairs as a tag team, seamlessly switching between each other at the touch of a button. In cooperative multiplayer, each player controls a single mekanimal, the inactive player controlling only the “switch” button to transform to their animal, creating dynamic moments of teamwork and cooperation.
Overcoming certain obstacles requires the ability specific to one character in the duo, so in order to advance through each level players must alternate between the two characters. Oftentimes players will need to quickly switch back and forth between both mekanimals to progress, making proper timing essential when tagging characters in and out.
There are a total of five mekanimals in Mekazoo: the armadillo, frog, wallaby, panda, and high-flying pelican.
Mekazoo will be available on Wii U in Q1 2016. View some screenshots below.
Legend of Kay Anniversary will be available on Wii U both physically and digitally. If you’re going for the latter option, you may be interested to hear that the game is a 3.4 GB download. That size is for Europe, but it should be very similar in North America.
