Nintendo Everything

Update: Welp, this is what happens when your brain melts. We reported on this in 2013, but now a confirmation that it’s arriving soon. Keep your eyes peeled for further updates!

Momonga Pinball Adventures is planned for the Wii U eShop, Paladin Studios has confirmed to Nintendo Everything.

Originally, Momonga Pinball Adventures launched for mobile platforms in 2013. Here’s the official overview:

Instead of regular pinball, Momonga has levels, enemies, and bossfights. The hero is Momo, a young momonga who barely survived an owl attack on his village. He joins forces with a friendly panda and an ambitious firefly, who help him to win back his tribe. Are you able to stop the owl general Kuton and restore balance to the world? It’s time to roll.

Paladin Studios is keeping quiet on Wii U-specific details at the moment, including a release date. However, we’re told that it’s “coming soon.” The game will be on display at Gamescom, so it should definitely hit the eShop at some point this year.

You can get a look at Momonga Pinball Adventures in the video below.

We have a few new screenshots from LEGO Jurassic World, which launches on Tuesday. That includes the first images of the 3DS version, which we found on the eShop. Take a look at the screenshots below.

It’s time for the latest Famitsu’s most wanted games chart! With the latest chart, Fire Emblem If maintains its spot at the top.

Head past the break for the full chart. All votes were cast between May 21 and May 27.

Entries on GameFly indicate that Nintendo will be handling the release of Mario & Sonic at the Rio 2016 Olympic Games – at least in North America. The retailer has Nintendo listed as the publisher of both the Wii U and 3DS versions.

Mario & Sonic at the Sochi 2014 Olympic Winter Games was the first entry in the series Nintendo published worldwide. Prior to that, SEGA was in charge of publishing in all regions except for Japan, where the Big N handled things.
