According to a listing on Nintendo’s website, Ping 1.5+ is launching in North America on October 16. Pricing is set at $4.99.
October 16 is turning out to be a strong day for the Wii U eShop. Paper Monsters Recut, Lone Survivor: The Director’s Cut, Ballpoint Universe are all due out in addition to Ping 1.5+.
The Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate collaborations continue! A crossover with The Seven Deadly Sins anime is also planned, according to Weekly Shounen Sunday.
Players will be able to obtain a new Sword and Shield weapon based on The Seven Deadly Sins protagonist Meliodas’ weapon, the broken sword, or Dragon Handle. Monster Hunter 4 Ultimate also features a special quest where materials can be collewcted to create Meliodas’ weapon.
Earlier today, the Official Nintendo Magazine announced its upcoming closure. Issue 144 will be its last.
What does this mean for Nintendo as a whole? Eurogamer caught up with a company spokesperson and was told how Nintendo will “speak to its fans” going forward:
“Nintendo is constantly evaluating and evolving the ways in which it speaks to its fans. With this in mind, Nintendo UK has decided to focus on alternative channels including Nintendo Direct, social media and online channels and public events.”
Spike Chunsoft has registered trademarks for “Zero Escape” in both the US and Europe. The European application was filed in July, whereas the US trademark was filed on October 2.
What do these trademarks mean? At the moment, no one knows unfortunately! It’s certainly a possibility that nothing will come from either filing.
This was mentioned in today’s PR, but figured was worth its own post!
Still have a WaveBird? They're compatible with the #GameCube Controller Adapter for #WiiU!
