Game Informer published a new video feature that provides some insight into the creation of the Disney Infinity 3.0 Star Wars figures. There’s also some commentary from Avalanche’s Jeff Bunker. Watch the video in full below.
Nintendo put up a one-question interview with Monolith Soft’s Tetsuya Takahashi over on its Twitter account. It asks: “How has making games in the ‘Xeno’ series changed since the team first worked on Xenogears?” Take a look at the image above from Takahashi’s full response!
While announcing Nintendo’s latest financial results, president Satoru Iwata shared a brief update regarding the company’s mobile development plans.
Sankei reports that the producer of Mario Kart has been appointed to be in charge of mobile game development. “It should help you understand the level of commitment from Nintendo”, Iwata said.
A name isn’t specifically mentioned, but we assume the article is referring to Hideki Konno, who has been producing Mario Kart games since the DS entry. Konno was also the producer on Mario Kart Wii, Mario Kart 7, and Mario Kart 8.
Sankei also mentions that today’s news shows how Nintendo intends to tackle mobile games with the same developers they use for console games.
Nintendo announced in March that it was teaming up with DeNA to create gaming apps for smartphone devices. The two sides are also working together a new membership service for Nintendo.
Dex officially launched today, but there are still a couple of versions in the pipeline, including Wii U. The good news is that we should be seeing the eShop release in the fairly near future. In a Kickstarter update, Dex developer Dreadlocks mentioned that a summer launch is currently targeted.
Game Informer has posted a bunch of photos showcasing the new Disney Infinity 3.0 figures. We’ve posted a few of them below, though you can find even more here.
It looks like there are two versions of the Splatoon commercial! Nintendo uploaded the full 30 second edition earlier today, and below you’ll find the shorter 15-second one.
Ronimo Games released the third “Daily Duel” video for Swords & Soldiers II. In today’s video, the battle is two Berserkers, one Swordsman and one heal spell versus four Axethrowers. Check it out below.
Earlier today, Nintendo UK added three new Splatoon bundles to its online store. Each one comes with a unique GamePad protector decorated in the style of Splatoon.
Thanks to French retailer E.Leclerc, we now know that the protector will be sold separately. A European release date of June 20 is listed, and it also looks like HORI is behind the accessory.
Two new downloads have been added to the Wii U version of Zen Pinball 2. Players can now purchase the Iron & Steel pack and Avengers: Age of Ultron table. Pricing is set at $4.99 and $2.99 respectively.
