Nintendo Everything

Advance Wars 2: Black Hole Rising launches on the European Wii U eShop this Thursday. Watch the official Virtual Console trailer below.

The Pokemon Company announced today that Pokemon Shuffle is coming to mobile devices. Previously, the free-to-play title was launched on the 3DS as an eShop download, which has seen over 4.5 million downloads.

The mobile version of Pokemon Shuffle will be arriving later this year. It seems to be the same exact version as the 3DS edition, but with optimizations for iPhone and Android.

Club Nintendo Europe has been updated with a new reward. For 6,000 stars, members can receive a Captain Toad Figurine Lamp.

Here’s a description of the lamp:

Plan your adventures in the soft light of this Captain Toad figurine lamp! Whether you’re planning a treasure hunt or getting ready for a Toad-sized nap, let Captain Toad’s headlamp guide the way! Approximately 12cm tall, made of ABS, transparent ABS and PVC.

Club Nintendo members in Europe can place an order for the reward here. Hit up the gallery below for a few images.

Koei Tecmo shared some screenshots of Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 on 3DS. View them in the gallery below.

Update: Nintendo has now removed any mention of this upcoming maintenance from its official page. I suppose that means there won’t be any maintenance after all!

Nintendo completed several hours of maintenance for both Wii U and 3DS a short while ago. However, additional maintenance will be taking place in just a matter of hours.

Below is a breakdown of the different times:

6 PM PT (Monday) – 4 AM PT (Tuesday)
9 PM ET (Monday) – 7 AM ET (Tuesday)
2 AM in the UK (Tuesday) – 12 PM in the UK (Tuesday)
3 AM in Europe (Tuesday) – 1 PM in Europe (Tuesday)

This maintenance period will affect online play, rankings, and other Internet-related elements.

Siliconera has shared another round of details for Harvest Moon: Seeds of Memories. That includes a new comments from Natsume’s Graham Markay, who said that this title is intended to address criticisms that fans had with The Lost Valley.

Here’s a rundown of what Siliconera shares in its article:

“We heard what our fans had to say. We got compliments as well as criticisms. One of the main issues was probably a town. This returns to the fundamentals. Is there upgrades? Yes. Is there giving gifts? Yes. Are there a variety of bachelors and bachelorettes? Yes. This isn’t a sequel to The Lost Valley.” – Graham Markay, Vice President of Operations at Natsume

– Players arrive on a rustic farm that used to be in a striving town
– As you sow crops and care for cows, the farm thrives and the townsfolk begin to remember what their town is like
– Can visit residents in their homes
– Court five bachelors or bachelorettes
– Not a sequel to Harvest Moon: The Lost Valley
– This game has some familiar characters
– The Lost Valley’s clocksmith Andrea is in the game
– Luke from The Lost Valley is also a datable character
– A witch bachelorette and wizard bachelor were also added due to fan requests

Shingeki no Kyojin: Humanity in Chains (the name “Attack on Titan” can’t be used due to rights issues) is finally out in Europe this week. If you buy the game, you’ll also receive a free download code for the 3DS theme pictured above.

Alongside some new videos, Capcom also revealed some details about the DLC that The Great Ace Attorney is getting.

The DLC will come in weekly episodes called “issues” of “Randst Magazine”, priced at 300 yen each. If you know your Holmes lore, you’ll know that this is a reference to Strand Magazine, a magazine in which Sir Arthur Conan Doyle’s Sherlock Holmes stories were originally published before they were released as books and anthologies.

Each “issue” of Randst Magazine will feature some short episodic content along with some making-of / behind the scenes content like artwork and music. If you buy the game before July 19th, you’ll get the first issue for free.

The Great Ace Attorney will be released in Japan on July 9th. A Western release date has not yet been announced.
