Since his debut in the 80’s, Nintendo’s famous plumber has spawned a plethora of games, touching upon nearly every genre and delivering smiles to people all over the world. Shigeru Miyamoto’s excellence in game design and character creation is one that’s been seminal and is responsible for copious amounts of developers’ paths to where they are today.
Until Super Mario 64, most mainline Super Mario games had been side-scrolling platformers. With its addictive gameplay and unique design, Mario went on to become one of the gaming world’s most unique and well known characters in gaming history. Mario has become an iconic character known globally even to those unfamiliar with the medium. With countless ROM hacks for the various Super Mario titles from the original to 3 to World plaguing the internet for years, now you can design your own Mario levels seamlessly with the Wii U GamePad easily, and the possibilities are endless.
Following a few days, Freedom Planet should be available on Wii U this month. Developer Stephen DiDuro shared the news on Twitter.
In his message, DiDuro wrote:
@MrJonFaust @ShigeruNews Awesome! That should be released this month.

No date yet, but at least it’s coming! Hopefully all of the issues will be ironed out this time around.
Nintendo UK has a new commercial up for LBX: Little Battlers eXperience, which you can watch below. The European version is due out on Friday.
It’s highly probable that we’ll be seeing the N64 edition of Mario Golf on the North American Wii U Virtual Console tomorrow. The ESRB has rated the game, which is a very strong sign of an imminent eShop release.
Last week, the ESRB rated Sin & Punishment as well as Sin & Punishment: Star Successor for Wii U. Both titles ended up on the eShop just a couple of days later.
We have the official word on the 30th Anniversary Mario – Modern Color amiibo. In the United States, the only way to purchase the figure at launch is by obtaining the Super Mario Mario Deluxe Set. That’s according to a message on the North American amiibo website.
It’s a bit of a bummer, but it sounds like it will only be a matter of time before this 8-bit Mario amiibo will be widely available. If you want the figure immediately, importing may be your only option!
Additional information about Ace Attorney 6 has been translated from the pages of this week’s Famitsu. You’ll find the details rounded up below.
– Once again, the game is set in a foreign country which Phoenix visits “for a certain goal”
– The old Wright luck kicks in and he finds himself wrapped up in a certain case when his tour guide is arrested
– Phoenix goes to see the trial
– When there, he sees there’s no defense attorney and the judge is relying on things like an “oracle of spirits” to hand down a guilty verdict immediately
– Phoenix objects and takes the defense’s bench
– In the game is the mysterious, strong-willed woman in the art
– This woman is neither a witness nor a prosecutor nor a judge
– She’s this game’s “key person” like Athena in AA5
– Note that it does not say she’s Phoenix’s assistant, just reuses the “key person” term
– The “water mirror” in the courtroom plays a part in a new system they’re keeping under wraps
– The magazine also seems to suggest there may be other small changes from the usual courtroom antics
– This new system will be playable at TGS 2015
– In this country, there are prosecutors, but no defense attorneys
– Defendants must use a “certain object” to defend themselves
– The game’s theme is a “courtroom revolution”
– The team felt Phoenix was in a position where he didn’t really have anyone who could match up to him in Japan, so that was part of the reason they moved him into the wider world
– They also hope that trials in a court where the usual “rules” don’t play will help give a sense of urgency to the game that they couldn’t get in just a plain Japanese trial
– Devs have heard complaints about Ace Attorney 5 being too easy due to the many hints characters gave
– With this game, they’re aiming to let the player enable/disable hints on their own, and to avoid direct clues like in AA5
– Development is still fairly early on
– The team wants to make a game to surpass the previous entries, and to “betray the player’s expectations – in a good way!”
Polygon has posted additional footage from Shovel Knight’s free expansion known as “Plague of Shadows”. You can watch the new video below.
