Based on a new tweet, Curve Digital may have something in store for tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct. It could be something extremely small such as being a part of an eShop reel. We really won’t know until after the presentation airs. In any case, here’s the relevant tweet:
Nintendo Direct tomorrow! Not saying we're definitely in there, but keep your eyes peeled for a little sprinkling of Curve magic possibly.

Wobby Tooth is still supporting Battleminer with free updates. The latest patch, which was revealed on the developer’s Twitter account today, will add a major feature.
When Battleminer’s next update goes live, players will be able to partake in multiplayer co-op. This will work both locally and online.
Battleminer’s newest update is coming to Europe on April 16. There’s no date yet for North America, but it shouldn’t be too far behind.

Xenoblade Chronicles 3D is the first New 3DS-exclusive game. You can insert the cartridge into a regular 3DS, and the system will even recognize it properly. But as expected, you can’t launch Xenoblade Chronicles 3D on a standard 3DS system. If you try, you’ll be presented with the notice above!
New Nintendo Direct will focus on games releasing through summer, new announcements, no NX or mobile
Nintendo put up its Japanese page for tomorrow’s Nintendo Direct, and it shares some insight into what we should and shouldn’t expect from the presentation.
In terms of what we’ll be hearing about, Nintendo will be discussing titles releasing through the end of summer. That indicates that we’ll be getting updates on Xenoblade Chronicles X, Splatoon, Fire Emblem If, and Rhythm Heaven 3DS – at least during the Japanese stream.
Meanwhile, Nintendo UK pushed out an email (see above) to fans a short while ago suggesting that there will be new announcements. That shouldn’t be shocking in any way, but it’s nice to have a confirmation!
Lastly, we know about two things Nintendo will not touch on: NX and mobile. It’s specifically stated on the Japanese Nintendo Direct page that neither of these two items will be mentioned.
Word Search by POWGI is coming to the North American and European eShops on April 16, Lightwood Games confirmed today. It will be available for both Wii U and 3DS. Pricing is set at $7.99 / £5.99 / €7.99.
Word Search by POWGI is packed with over 300 puzzles, with unique aspects planned for Nintendo’s platforms. The 3DS version features a simple touch-screen interface and the ability to take the game anywhere, while the Wii U release makes use of off-TV play and 5-player multiplayer.
You’ll be able to try out Word Search by POWGI with a free demo releasing soon.
