Arc System Works is bringing Swords & Darkness and Ninja Usagimaru to the 3DS eShop today. Trailers for both titles are posted below.
A new video has been posted to YouTube showing the Ganondorf, Zero Suit Samus, Dark Pit, and Palutena amiibo. View it below.
The original Mutant Mudds launches in Japan on June 24. When that happens, those who purchase the game will be entitled to a free 3DS theme through July 23. It’ll cost 100 yen after that date.
Renegade Kid also has plans to distribute the 3DS theme in North America and Europe. There’s no date yet for its availability, however.

Coinciding with Nintendo’s E3 2015 plans, Best Buy locations across the United States will have a playable demo of Mario Maker. Those who try out the game will be given a special 30th anniversary Super Mario Bros. button. Our first look at it is pictured above.
Best Buy will also be offering consumers a limited edition Mario Maker 7-button set. This will be available to those who pre-order two select Wii U/3DS titles (full list to be announced soon) between June 17 and July 7.
Participating Nintendo Access: Mario Maker @ Best Buy locations can be found here.
Side note: as some of you have pointed out on Twitter, this image seems to give us a first look at Bowser Jr. in 8-bit and Mario in the Koopa Clown Car!
Over on Reddit, Nicalis’ Tyrone Rodriguez stated that the Wii U and 3DS versions of The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth will not feature save syncing. In other words, it won’t be possible to transfer save data between the two versions.
Rodriguez also ruled out local multiplayer for The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth, as well as patches. He explained:
Patching after release is unlikely. It might seem like a “small” feature, but it’s actually quite time consuming to add multiplayer. Even local wireless multiplayer has effectively the same amount of code as doing true online MP.
Lastly, Rodriguez confirmed that The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth will cost $15 on Wii U and 3DS. There’s no release date yet, but we should be hearing something this month.
Nintendo UK uploaded a new Yoshi’s Woolly World gameplay ad today focusing on amiibo. Watch it below.
Rhythm Heaven: The Best Plus has launched in Japan, so it only makes sense that there’s a related theme. Those with Japanese 3DS systems can purchase it for 200 yen. Footage of the theme can be found below.
Koei Tecmo shared new details about Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 today ahead of the game’s June 30 release date.
Read up on some information regarding the Edit Mode below.
Among the key features of the game is the edit mode, where the player can create their own character. Being implemented from the fan-favorite version released with Samurai Warriors 4, the edit mode allows for a very deep level of customization and vast selection of facial features, armor, weapons and accessories. What is unique in Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3 though, is that for the first time players will be able to equip their customized characters with the default costumes of the famous warriors they befriend!
Creating and maintaining relationships with officers and warriors is a very important part of Samurai Warriors Chronicles 3, as it allows players to listen in to their thoughts and plans and affect them to their desired effect. In that way the game takes a different turn, as the story mode is completely in the players’ hands and the outcomes of battles, alliances, and ultimately the conclusion of the game, is altered by their actions.
Koei Tecmo also published a pair of gameplay videos today:

During its first week, Splatoon experienced one of the highest sell-through rates ever in Japan. That number came in at 97.33 percent, which was a sign that the game was almost impossible to find in all stores.
Splatoon has now been on the market for a second week and has yet to show any signs of slowing down. As stated in a Dengeki report, the shooter sold nearly 70,000 copies with a sell-through rate of 90 percent between June 1 and June 7. Media Create’s information will probably vary just slightly, but this is a sign that consumers are still very much interested in Splatoon.
