It’s anybody’s guess as to when we’ll be seeing the Nintendo NX. It could be next year. There’s a good chance that it will be later than that.
Still, that hasn’t stopped EB Games Australia from jumping the gun with in-store pre-orders. I have no clue why anyone would plop down a reservation right now, but it is what it is!
A new trailer for the movie “Pixels” has come online, and we get a brief glimpse at a Nintendo character. We previously mentioned that Donkey Kong would have a cameo in the film, and you can get a look at his appearance below.
Adam Sandler stars in Pixels, which sees aliens attacking Earth after they misinterpret video-feeds of classic arcade games as a declaration of war against them. These games are then used as models for their assaults.
Pixels is coming to movie theaters on July 24.
This is indeed a real thing Nintendo has been sending out to members of the press. It’s a bit random!
· In The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker HD, Princess Zelda was actually a tough and spunky captain of a ragtag group of pirates. Tetra saves Link from Ganondorf’s clutches, and later helps Link defeat Ganondorf for good to save the world.
· Toadette is a recurring Toad character in the Mario series. These days, she’s a plucky treasure-hunter in Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, who puts on a brave face to find rare goodies and save Captain Toad from the monstrous and greedy bird, Wingo.
· Bayonetta is a sassy and incredibly stylish witch with pistol-stilettos and a vendetta against the armies of angels and demons that hunt her. She’s a force to be reckoned with, an ally to her best friend and fellow witch Jeanne and doesn’t take flak from anybody.
· Rosalina is an interstellar observer, protector of the Lumas and friend to Mario in Super Mario Galaxy. She is mother to the Lumas, who are little star-like creatures capable of becoming new galaxies!
· Lucina is an unwavering warrior with a strong sense of justice and commitment to her family. Her power, determination and wisdom gained from watching the destruction of her world are priceless strengths as one of Fire Emblem Awakening’s many playable female protagonists.
· Samus Aran shocked the video game world at the end of the original Metroid game by revealing her gender and changing the way we think about video game characters in the process. Video game protagonists need not be male in order to be strong. Samus is a space bounty hunter in an armored suit, outfitted with a powerful blaster on the arm and extreme heat resistance.
· Bombette is a Bob-omb who joins Mario on his quest in the original Paper Mario for the Nintendo 64. As a member of Mario’s diverse team of fighters, she has an explosive fighting style and isn’t afraid to get physical with her body slam and powerful bomb attacks.

An interesting title entered the Australian classification database today. Something known as “Pokemon Rumble World” has been rated, which I don’t believe is a game that already exists.
Unfortunately, the entry doesn’t provide much information, but Ambrella is listed as Pokemon Rumble World’s developer. Ambrella worked on previous entries in the Pokemon Rumble series. There also appears to be online interactivity of some sort.
We’ll keep you updated as we learn more about Pokemon Rumble World.
