Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime intends to take part in the ALS Ice Bucket Challenge, and he will apparently kick things up a notch.
Fils-Aime was called out by Xbox boss Phil Spencer yesterday to participate along with Sony Worldwide Studios president Shuhei Yoshida and Valve’s Gabe Newell. Yoshida ended up donating instead, though a few folks from Sony did post a video of their involvement with he ALS Ice Bucket Challenge yesterday.
As for Reggie, he teased that he intends to “‘one up’ the challenge”.
To the #IceBucketChallenge requests: I will 'one up' the challenge. Will share more over next few days! #Regginator @XboxP3 @ZeldaUniverse

Amazon Japan recently outed Touch Detective Funghi Rhythm for 3DS. Now we have a couple of details about the game.
As the name implies, Touch Detective Funghi Rhythm isn’t a traditional entry in the series. It’s a rhythm game with over 20 songs including “Funghi’s Song” from Haruka Fukuhara. You’ll be able to earn costumes for Funghi as you progress.
And that’s it for now!
