Jakks Pacific has a whole bunch of Nintendo merchandise in the pipeline. During a San Diego Comic-Con panel, the company unveiled items like Star Fox plush figures, a Mario Kart anti-gravity racer, and more. Hit up the gallery below for a look at everything on the way.
ZaciSa’s Last Stand is receiving a third update in the very near future. ZeNfA Productions submitted the patch to Nintendo, and it’s estimated for release in early August. That applies to all regions.
Below are the official notes for ZaciSa’s Last Stand:
- The game has been improved upon to allow for even smoother experience. Even more crazy moments, like multiple Tesla Coils and Triple Enemy spawns barely lag at all.
- The maps: PING 1.5+, BLOK DROP U & Pollux System all have their starting money increased to allow for a better experience.
- Bot Changes:
- Tesla Coil now has slightly increased power.
- Drone now has slightly increased power.
- Bot Upgrades: Costs for upgrades are at a lower rate to allow for more upgrades. This only effects late stage upgrades, early level upgrades are still the same.
- Game Over Changes
- Money no longer provides as big of bonus to your score as it used to.
- Max score bonus from leftover money is now capped as well.
- Outstanding loans no longer hurt your final score as much either.
- These changes provide some fairness to the game scores.
ZaciSa’s Last Stand originally launched last July. Since then, the game has been updated with improvements and new features.

Minecraft has graces most gaming systems, but it has yet to arrive on Nintendo platforms. That doesn’t mean developer Mojang is against the idea though.
“If I had my way, we’d be on everything,” COO Vu Bui told MCV. “We want to continue to be available to all players, and that means being on new platforms because everyone uses something different.”
MCV specifically asked if a Nintendo version of Minecraft could be possible. Regarding this, Bui said: “I’ve never heard a reason why we haven’t ended up on Wii U or 3DS. It just hasn’t happened yet.”
So how about it: is Minecraft something you guys would like to see on Wii U and 3DS?
