Back when Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker launched in Japan, Nintendo offered a special bundle containing the Toad amiibo. It now looks like this package is bound for Europe as well. Amazon UK and Germany both list the bundle, as does GAME Spain. We’ll see if Nintendo has anything official to announce in the near future.
A few years ago, it seemed like The Binding of Isaac would never grace a Nintendo system. That’s because Nintendo seemed to find some of the game’s content questionable – specifically the religious aspects.
You may be interested to hear that The Binding of Isaac’s initial rejection didn’t come from Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime. Speaking with Nintendo Force, creator Edmund McMillen revealed that Reggie “backed” the game in 2012, though former Nintendo indie head Dan Adelman truly pushed for it to happen.
The Binding of Isaac is finally coming to Nintendo platforms this summer. It’ll be on both Wii U and New 3DS via the eShop.
Angry Video Game Nerd Adventures is out now on the North American 3DS eShop. Check out the launch trailer below.
Next week, Nintendo will be kicking off the first Splatfest for Splatoon in Japan. The game’s Twitter account shares details about what players can expect.
The first Japanese Splatfest is “rice vs. bread” as the best breakfast option, and will be held from 6 PM on June 13 to 6 PM on June 14.
Players can vote via a machine found in the Inkopolis plaza. Voting can only be done once, and your choice cannot be changed. Those who participate will receive a temporary T-shirt with three slots for abilities. You can also use the Miiverse box in Inkopolis to write messages in support of your team.
The first Splatfest in North America will be held in two week’s time.
Back in November 2014, Nintendo shared a trailer for Splatoon in which the single-player campaign was shown for the first time. Interestingly, there are quite a few things were changed or never made it into the release version, such as the arcade-like shooter pictured above. You can get a look at all of the differences in the video below.
Three new Fire Emblem If screenshots have been discovered on the game’s Japanese 3DS eShop page. In the first two images, we see the Avatar and Kazahana teaming up to defeat a Nohrian Dark Mage. The third has an Inigo lookalike teaming up with what seems to be a female Cavalier in order to tackle a Ninja.
View the three screenshots in the gallery below (along with what it looks like on the 3DS home menu). Above, you can see the Fire Emblem If pre-paid eShop card.
NintenDaan has uploaded additional footage from the Wii U Virtual Console version of Big Brain Academy, which just hit the European eShop on Thursday. Check it out below.
