Tatsumi Kimishima was named as Nintendo’s new president earlier this week. Xbox boss Phil Spencer, who never shies away from interacting with fans on Twitter, offered a few brief words about the news.
Here’s the relevant tweet:
@Gabriel_Diaz19 I don't know him but Nintendo is great gaming with amazing track record, I'm sure he'll do great, I wish him well.

It’ll be interesting to see what Kimishima does during his time as president of Nintendo. It’s silly at this point to have any preconceived notions at this point!
Another couple of Picross 3D 2 videos have surfaced on Nintendo’s Japanese YouTube page. Find both of them below.
Girls Mode 3 has been updated with six items from Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer. Nintendo has added in three furniture pieces for the in-game dollhouse: an amiibo phone, Nook’s Home car, and a copy machine. Players also have access to Isabelle’s spring shirt, Lottie’s long sleeved shirt, and a Nook’s Home blazer.
Nintendo’s North American YouTube page now has a video interview with Shin’en, which was conducted during PAX Prime 2015 a few weeks ago. Naturally, the discussion focused on FAST Racing Neo. Check out the full video below.

In a new announcement published today, Atlus confirmed that Stella Glow is due out in North America on November 17. The game will be sold in stores and on the eShop for $49.99 / CA $59.99.
For the retail version, Atlus is preparing a special “Launch Edition”. This will be available to those who pre-order the game “and a small quantity of launch day copies.”
Here’s an overview of the different goodies included inside:
Hilda’s Crystal Garden Cloth Poster — This is a large poster made of cloth (so it won’t permanently crease by being folded in the package!) that features the striking image of Hilda, the Witch of Destruction posing with her scythe atop a seat of crystals.
Bubu Flexi-Charm — Bubu is the pet pig of the Witch Popo, and hopefully by now you’ve insinuated that it’s super cute (because it is!). The charm is soft vinyl and since Bubu is such a loyal companion, the charm can be attached to whatever needs more piggy goodness. Oh, and it’s a real porker too at approximately 3″ x 3″.
“Song Magic” CD — This is a 5-song disc featuring the vocal themes of the five Witches. The CD will arrive in a separate sleeve featuring artwork from the Witch Tuning sequences from the game.
Collectible Outer Box — Similar to what we did with The Legend of Legacy, all the aforementioned premiums will be included in a large outer box. We didn’t just reuse the 3DS game cover either — the outer box is a new design featuring the protagonist, Alto, and the five Witches. Lisette on the spine of the box is a nice touch, and I once again salute our designers for putting together such a great-looking package.
Check out a new Stella Glow battle trailer below. We also have an overview of the game after the break.
Retailer listings are indicating that the physical version of Shovel Knight has been delayed. Amazon
, Best Buy, and GameStop are now listing the game for November 3 in North America. An October 13 release date had been previously announced.
Of course, we don’t have an official confirmation that Shovel Knight’s physical version has been delayed. If we hear anything from Yacht Club Games, we’ll be sure to let you know.
Thanks to Jared for the tip.
Another three Zelda: Tri Force Heroes screenshots have hit the series’ official Japanese Twitter account. Find them below.
