Nintendo Everything

As you might have heard, Tappingo 2 is delayed until 4 September (next week). The Nintendo team asked me if I wanted to delay the game. Because this week was super busy and they could help me
promote the game much better next week.

The reason I’m mentioning this is because I’m just super grateful to the NoA team. They are trying to
think with me, and are actively helping out to make Tappingo 2 a success.

Without them looking out for me. I would have released the game this week (without knowing about
the other titles coming out). And it would probably been snowed under.

Having them behind me is a great feeling!

I think it’s something worth mentioning. Especially after all the negative news about Nintendo and
third parties. I think it’s good to know Nintendo is actively trying to help indies.

I do got some cool stuff to share with you about Tappingo 2 as well;

Most players seemed to love the retro console puzzles in Tappingo 1. Well, they are back! But I took
it to the next level; I’m collaborating with some of the biggest Nintendo indies to have puzzles based
on their games.

The Japanese Hyrule Warriors Twitter account is further hinting at DLC characters for the future. A message posted earlier today asked fans, “who would you like to see?”

So how about it, guys? Which additional characters would you be interested in seeing in the game?

The recently reported Limited Edition SteelBook set to release for both upcoming games was exciting enough, but now we are discovering more goodies for European Pokemon fans.

Pokemon Alpha Saphire – Miniature representation of Primal Kyogre

Pokemon Omega Ruby – Miniature representation of Primal Groudon

Those pre-ordeing from GAME as a standalone release will receive also Legendary figurines.

Nintendo has announced a special release of Pokemon Omega Ruby and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire in Europe.

As a special collectible for fans at launch, the Limited Edition SteelBook software bundles will be available, where copies of the games are packaged in their standalone casing and presented alongside limited edition metallic cases displaying Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre. These two Pokemon meet face to face in an iconic artwork covering the inside of the casing for both games.

The Pokemon Omega Ruby Limited Edition SteelBook and Pokemon Alpha Sapphire Limited Edition SteelBook software bundles can be pre-ordered at GAME and the Official Nintendo UK Store now while supplies last.

Theatrhythm producer Ichiro Hazama stated in an interview with German website Planet3DS recently that he’d like to see the Theatrhythm formula brought in to other franchises. Curtain Call will be the last in the series to feature Final Fantasy music and he’s looking for potential avenues for the future of the series. Here’s the quote:

From my personal view, I really like what we’ve created here – the Threatrhythm series and the type of game. And yes, even though this is the end of Theatrhythm: Final Fantasy, I really don’t want to bring the Theatrhythm series as a whole to an end. Obviously I don’t have anything we can announce at the moment but we really would like to move out and go into other titles. So you can certainly expect something from Theatrhythm like that in the future.

Today’s Super Smash Bros. 3DS screenshot gives us a new look at character customization. Take a look below:

Update: We’ll just throw this in as well as opposed to making a new post. werejack is claiming that two new Wii U bundles for North America – LEGO City: Undercover and New Super Mario Bros. U – are also on the way.

Earlier this month, Nintendo announced a special Smash Bros.-themed 3DS XL for Europe. A similar system has yet to be confirmed for North America, though it’s possible that we’ll be hearing something in September.

Twitter user “werejack” claims that Nintendo has something planned for the states as well, but “it might be different from the Europe one.” He suggests that the North American Smash Bros. 3DS XL will be “bluer.”

We normally wouldn’t post this sort of conjecture, but werejack actually leaked news of the Zelda: Wind Waker HD Wii U bundle, black 3DS XL, and red/blue Pokemon 3DS XL systems prior to their announcements last year. Hopefully werejack’s latest tweets are accurate as well!
