Nintendo is bringing three new Animal Crossing cover plates for the New 3DS to Europe. That information is confirmed by the series’ official Facebook page, which posted the image above earlier today. Each one of the cover plates is due out on October 2.
Nintendo Benelux just announced that Tomodachi Life, which has been a huge success worldwide, is getting a Dutch translation in October. This is quite unusual since the game has been out in Europe for over a year now and usually games aren’t getting a separate Dutch translation since the level of English proficiency is quite high in the Netherlands. Nintendo might be aiming to attract younger players with this decision.
Check out the announcement video below:
If you live in the UK, you can now “express your interest” in Xenoblade Chronicles X at Nintendo’s online store. Visiting this link, you can answer a short question about which aspect of the game you’re looking forward to the most and sign up for news about pre-order details and store offers with your e-mail address.
The Japanese Splatoon Twitter account posted the image seen above today. It might not seem like anything special at first glance – in fact, the exact image has already been posted by them once before, with one key difference. Today’s image shows an Octoling not wearing any goggles.
Of course this likely means nothing in the grand scheme of things and it might just be a neat piece of concept artwork. However, we do know that Splatoon is getting a major content patch next month and playable Octolings would certainly be an exciting feature.
The official Japanese website for Devil’s Third was launched recently and it revealed some new details about the game.
First of all, you will need quite a bit of space if you plan on downloading the game as it takes up 16.4GB. Each Wii U user gets his own save file, which takes up 16 MB. You can use either the Gamepad or a Wii U Pro Controller to play the game – other control options aren’t supported.
Finally, the website confirms that microtransactions will be in the game. You can buy “Golden Eggs” with actual currency, which you can trade for new weapons and armor or for in-game currency.
Raru, a retailer in South Africa, has listed the Mewtwo amiibo for release on October 23. Nintendo has naturally not confirmed such a date.
We tend to be cautious when it comes to retailer listings, but Raru’s listing is interesting. You may recall that they leaked the Splatoon amiibo and game’s launch date before the information was announced. This doesn’t necessarily confirm that the Mewtwo date is accurate, but it may be worth paying attention to.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
