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?
A few new screenshots from Langrisser Re:Incarnation Tensei are now available for viewing. You can get a look at them in the gallery below.
Two New 3DS XL colors have been made available in North America (along with the limited edition Majora’s Mask system). At the moment, consumers have the option of purchasing a black or red handheld. Play-Asia is now listing a third color that will apparently be coming to North America in just a few weeks.
The Metallic Blue New 3DS XL is seemingly heading stateside based on Play-Asia’s listing. If it’s accurate, we’ll be seeing the new color variation sometime in August.
Nintendo has not yet announced the Metallic Blue New 3DS XL for North America. We’ll see if that changes within the next few weeks.
Update: Marth seems gone from Target. GameStop has Ness up here (along with a bundle featuring King Dedede and the GameCube adapter for Wii U).
A few amiibo are currently in stock on Target’s website. These figures include:
Rosalina
Marth
Jigglypuff
Wii Fit Trainer
Charizard
Wario
The amiibo probably won’t last long, so get an order in while you can!
Toarcade has posted a number of photos of the Nintendo Copilas. These copy machines went on sale starting in 1971 for 9,800 yen.
Back in the day, the Japanese government supplied schools nationwide with Copilas machines. Hiroshi Yamauchi, former president of Nintendo, previously mentioned that they were designed to break easily so that the company could earn profits from repairs.
While Copilas machines were originally produced in large numbers, it’s tough to come across them these days – especially one complete in box. It makes for a rare piece of Nintendo history!
Word on the street is that Nintendo will not be publishing Devil’s Third in North America, unlike Europe and Japan. However, Siliconera claims that another company has already picked up the game for release in the states.
The site states in a new report, “Siliconera has learned Devil’s Third will be released here by a publisher Siliconera readers are quite familiar with.”
I’d guess that XSEED will be handling Devil’s Third in North America. I could be wrong though!
The “Nintendo Girls Game Museum” will be happening in Japan later this month and in August.
With the event, Nintendo is looking to bring in girls who like to play games and those who don’t often play them. They’ll be able to try out the latest recommended titles and series that have an established fan base with the female audience in Japan.
Nintendo will have the following games on display:
Yoshi’s Woolly World (Wii U)
Rhythm Heaven: The Best + (3DS)
Style Savvy 3 (3DS)
Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition (3DS)
12 Sai ~Honto no Kimochi (3DS)
The Great Ace Attorney (3DS)
Hoppe-chan: Punitto Shibotte Daibouken! (3DS)
Along with playable games, Nintendo will be selling various items. There will also be a demonstration for Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer, and those who play the game can receive special novelty presents.
The Nintendo Girls Game Museum event is taking place between July 18 and July 20 at the Aeon Mall Makuhari Shin Toshin at Chiba city of Chiba Prefecture. A second event will be held at the Grand Tree Musashikosugi mall located in Kawasaki City of Kanagawa Prefecture on August 1 and 2.
A soundtrack based on the music from The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D is coming to Japan, Tablier Communications announced today.
112 tracks in total will be featured across two discs, including the special credits sequence music featured in Majora’s Mask 3D. Aside from the soundtrack itself, there’s also an 8-page booklet, mini-poster, and key chain.
The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask 3D launches in Japan on October 7.
Nintendo is preparing a 3DS theme based on Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer. In Japan, this will be available for free with digital purchases of the game between July 30 and August 31. It will then be sold starting on September 1.
Land it Rocket was among the lineup of titles that hit the North American Wii U eShop yesterday. Check out some footage of the game below.
