[Feature] Tingle: The Man Behind the Magic
Posted 9 years ago by Patrick in 3DS, 3DS eShop, Features, GameCube, New Nintendo 3DS, Random | 4 Comments
If you ask someone what the most striking and memorable thing about The Legend of Zelda: Majora’s Mask is, they’d probably answer with the whole three-day cycle gimmick, Link’s many transformations or the creepy moon. But if you held a gun to their head and whispered “it’s Tingle” into their ear, they’d undoubtedly say it was this charming fellow. The life and legacy of Tingle isn’t extensively documented and leaves many unexplored questions. Is he human? Is he a fairy? Is he an offensive gay stereotype? But despite his mysterious nature, Tingle is a crucial character to the development of the Legend of Zelda series. In fact, there are no less than four different games out there with Tingle’s name in the title, which makes him just as important to the franchise as Link, whose name usually only appears as part of a lame pun. Just as the tale of the Hero of Time and the Triforce is constantly being retold, so too is the story of this unsung legend.
Famitsu shares new Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition details
Posted 9 years ago by Brian in 3DS, News | 3 Comments
The latest issue of Famitsu has another update on Puzzle & Dragons: Super Mario Bros. Edition. Thanks to the magazine, we have several new details about the game.
Players will be able to “power up” and “change form” of Mario and friends in Toad houses, which are located on the world map. This requires a specific item obtained from a defeated enemy or from a question block. Not only does a form change alter the visuals of the character, but abilities are raised as well. Synthesizing two characters is also possible. One of the characters turns into experience points, while the other is lost in the process.
Bayonetta 2 director reiterates interest in continuing the franchise
Posted 9 years ago by Brian in News, Wii U | 29 Comments
Bayonetta 2 director Yusuke Hashimoto has once again expressed interest in returning to the series for another game. That news comes from the latest issue of GamesMaster, which features a brief interview with Hashimoto.
In one question, GamesMaster asks about game sequels he’d like to work on. Hashimoto pointed to Bayonetta and how he’d like to create Bayonetta 3 – or even a spin-off.
Hashimoto said:
A sequel to a Platinum title… I’d have to say Bayonetta 3. I have all kinds of ideas in my head for how to expand the world of Bayonetta in even more sequels, or maybe a spin-off!
This isn’t the first time Hashimoto has talked about making another Bayonetta-related title. Last June, before Bayonetta 2 even hit store shelves, he spoke about a desire to continue “nurturing” the IP. We’ve also heard from Hideki Kamiya (the director of Bayonetta 1) about wanting to make a spin-off for 3DS featuring Jeanne.

The Pinball Arcade’s Wii U version in doubt again
Posted 9 years ago by Brian in News, Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Just a few days ago, we heard about FarSight Studios’ plan to bring The Pinball Arcade to New 3DS. But there is another Nintendo version that has long been in development – that is, the Wii U edition.
Some recent comments made by The Pinball Arcade lead designer Bobby King suggested that the Wii U version could still be on the way… but perhaps not. Check out this statement from The Pinball Arcade support team:
Right now we have no concrete plans to bring our game to the Wii U. It’s still in the cards but no definite groundwork has yet been laid out.
That doesn’t sound too encouraging, sadly!
Rumor: Rayman coming to Smash Bros. Wii U and 3DS as DLC
Posted 9 years ago by Brian in 3DS, Rumors, Wii U | 103 Comments
Are Nintendo and Bandai Namco working on another DLC character for Super Smash Bros. on Wii U and 3DS? That’s what the latest rumor suggests.
Rumors about Rayman appearing in Smash Bros. first appeared on 4chan, as several alleged images surfaced earlier today. That has now been followed up with a brief video – though Rayman still hasn’t been shown in battle.
I’ve been trying to take a “wait and see” approach with this round of speculation. Since the video above has surfaced, it does seem more likely that the rumor holds true. But again: nothing is confirmed. And as I always tend to say, maintain some skepticism unless Nintendo makes an announcement.

PEGI rates Shiftlings for Wii U
Posted 9 years ago by Brian in Wii U eShop | 1 Comment
Shiftlings from Rock Pocket Games and Activision/Sierra could be coming to Wii U, assuming a listing from PEGI is accurate. The classification board added an entry into its database for the apparent Wii U version on February 10.
Check out an overview and trailer for Shiftlings below. We’ll try to find out if Sierra can confirm PEGI’s listing.
In this physics based, puzzle platformer you control two, not so bright but lovable, alien space janitors which are the main attraction in an intergalactic reality tv-show without their knowing. While we watch over their shoulders, they are supposed to solve different small tasks on five themed worlds with ten levels each and they are ready to do pretty much everything, from jumping on each-other, to dragging and dropping and using that tube till it bursts.
The fun twist is that those two are connected by an air hose through which they can shift their size which is crucial to survive the hazardous challenges the two get thrown into. As helpful as the tube can be it will also provide additional challenges.
