E3 2015 isn’t until mid-June, but we do have a tiny bit of news about the expo already.
Nintendo has booked a 299-seat theater for an event at E3 2015. How exactly the room will be used is unknown at this time. One common thought is that it will be used for a roundtable, which would be business as usual for Nintendo.
Nintendo has also secured three booths for E3 2015. These are 4822, 5244 and 5644 in the West Hall.
E3 2015 will run between June 16 and June 18.
IronFall Invasion launches tomorrow – in Europe that is. VD-Dev is still working on the game’s North American release, which may take place on February 26.
The studio wrote on Twitter today:

Once we receive an absolutely final North American date for IronFall Invasion, we’ll let you know.
Mobot Studios revealed the mini action-platformer “Super Kid Ninja” for iOS today. We asked the developer if a Wii U version is in store as well.
Mobot said in response:
@NinEverything I don't want to get hated off the eShop. We have something else coming very soon for Wii U. Super Polished 3D mini platformer
— Fletcher (@MobotStudios) February 12, 2015
So it seems that Wii U isn’t getting Super Kid Ninja, but we’ll be seeing this interesting 3D mini platformer instead. That works for me!
How has Paper Monsters Recut performed on Wii U? Developer Mobot Studios said on Twitter that the game has performed adequately.
Mobot Studios will continue supporting Wii U in the future. Next up: a new action game that will appear on Wii U first.
@JonGryphon Descent but, It's good enough our new action game is #wiiU first. We're just sorta big N nerds more than anything i guess

XSEED has announced that Story of Seasons will release in North America on March 31. Pricing is set at $39.99.
By pre-ordering Story of Seasons at participating retailers, consumers will receive a special Angora rabbit “pocket plushie” as a bonus.
A new trailer and overview are posted below.
Story of Seasons is the beginning of a new chapter in the “Bokujo Monogatari” series, a long-standing and top-selling farming/life simulation franchise. Though the series is reborn with a new name, it continues the well-loved traditions of customizable farms, animal care and relationship-building toward the goal of getting married and starting a family.
After creating a customized character, players can live out a new life by cultivating their favorite fruits and vegetables while expanding and filling their farm with their choice of animals. Fans of past games in the series will love the many new additions on display here, including an enhanced variety of seeds, pets, and other ways to make their farms truly their own. But the major addition is the new theme of “connectivity,” as trading with other countries will help grow the player’s crop variety and wallet, as well as the prosperity of the entire town. Players can also connect locally via WiFi to visit one another’s farms and tend crops as a team, expanding both their harvests and their friendships.
This game will launch on March 31, 2015 in North America, and has been rated “E10+” for Everyone ages 10 and up by the ESRB.
XSEED finally confirmed today that Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven is heading to North America. The 3DS game will arrive this spring.
For an overview and trailer, continue on below.
Sometimes one’s path is chosen by fate. Luchs is one such soul, whose peaceful innkeeping days were numbered once he discovered a bracelet known as “Lachryma.” Suddenly accosted by strange fiends, he’s saved by a mysterious faerie encased in crystal whose memories are spotty at best. Luchs decides to help her recover these memories and, in doing so, encounters numerous other faeries just like her, each wielding unique powers and remembering a little more about their storied pasts as the entourage grows.
Lord of Magna: Maiden Heaven boasts a unique strategic battle system which encourages players to aim their attacks just right in order to “bowl” over as many enemies as possible with a single strike. Players can also turn the tide of battle by crafting new skills with unique items obtainable through StreetPass registration and participation in Free Battles. With adjustable difficulty levels during gameplay and a fast-forward feature to help speed through cutscenes for battle-hungry players, the customizable experience on offer here promises to leave lasting memories, complemented by in-game movie and art galleries that allow players to review key dramatic moments at will.
This title will launch in the spring, and has been rated “T” for Teen by the ESRB. More information will be shared in the coming weeks.
