It’s been nearly a year since we last heard about Beatbuddy: Tale of the Guardians. But next week, the game will finally be shown off for Wii U. The game’s developer has confirmed via Twitter that Beatbuddy will be on display at Gamescom where it will make its world premiere on Nintendo’s console.
Nintendo is releasing a fairly major update for Mario Kart 8 on August 27. It will not only bring along the free Mercedes-Benz DLC, but also several additions/improvements.
Here’s the full rundown:
– Map display will be added on the TV screen
– Mercedes-Benz DLC will be available for free
– Default menu selection following GP race is changing to next race (instead of view highlight)
– Last used kart customization added to save
– Edit others’ highlights
– Records screen with total coins, online win-loss record, character selection rates, etc.
– Improved online stability
– Other problems will be addressed
While the update has only been officially announced for Japan, North America and Europe will almost certainly received the patch on the same day.
Hyrule Warriors does not have traditional online multiplayer. Yet despite the fact that there isn’t a way to take down hoards of enemies with a buddy over the Internet, the game will in fact make use of some online elements.
It turns out that the game’s Adventure Mode is where online connectivity comes into play – all through functionality called “Network Link”. Producer Yosuke Hayashi explained to Game Informer this month how the feature works:
“The Adventure Mode features a ‘Network Link’ feature. This allows you to add a ‘Link’ to your maps whose level is based on other users’ play data. If you come to this Link’s aid and fight alongside him, you’ll get access to special bonuses.”
Hyrule Warriors’ “Adventure Mode” was properly unveiled during last night’s Nintendo Direct. This has players venturing through a recreated version of The Legend of Zelda’s overworld map, with each block on the grid representing a stage with its own conditions that need to be cleared in Hyrule Warriors’ world. New weapons and playable can be unlocked as you progress.
The 3.0 update for Steel Diver: Sub Wars is now available. This version of the game adds a bunch of new additions – they’re all outlined in the patch notes below.
