There are no plans for Hyrule Warriors to make use of Amiibo, Nintendo has confirmed. Destructoid asked if the game will offer any such support and was told in response:
“Super Smash Bros. for Wii U will be the first game to support amiibo. Other games that will support amiibo include Mario Kart 8, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, Mario Party 10 and Yoshi’s Woolly World, with more to come.”
I can’t say this is too surprising! If Hyrule Warriors were to support Amiibo, we would have heard about it by now in all likelihood. Nintendo also previously stated before this recent comment that the figures would launch with Smash Bros.
Bandai Namco has announced the latest Kamen Rider game, “Kamen Rider SummonRide”. It’s planned for both Wii U and PlayStation 3.
Kamen Rider SummonRide has one major hook: the use of toys like Skylanders. Players will be able to buy different figures and use them to enhance gameplay. Each Rider figure has its own elemental property, like Hibiki who is based in Fire.
We’re also hearing that the figures will be backwards compatible with Kamen Rider: Battride War II in some fashion.
Two Tribes has been a strong Nintendo supporter since the WiiWare days, bringing out titles such as Toki Tori and Rubik’s Puzzle Galaxy: RUSH. Thankfully, the studio’s Nintendo output will continue in the future.
Two Tribes’ Collin van Ginkel told Nintendo Life:
We’ve always looked at it at a case by case basis and lots of times in the past it made sense to go with Nintendo. I don’t expect this to change anytime soon.
It might be interesting to note that we’re currently generating more income from Nintendo’s eShop than we are from Steam, or any other digital shop for that matter. This was definitely not the case a few years ago.
Two Tribes’ next game is RIVE, which looks like a probable candidate for the Wii U eShop. The game will likely incorporate off-TV play, though the developer hasn’t considered other GamePad usages at the moment.
Yet another Pokemon Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire scan has emerged from this month’s issue of CoroCoro. The image above showcases Pokemon Contests – in-game shots of the Contest Hall specifically.
Feebas’s evolution is based on contests. We also learn that you can Mega Evolve during contests – boosting the Excite Meter & Appeal – but it can only be done when the Excite Meter is full.
TreeFall Studios has reduced the price of The Letter. It’s currently on sale for $0.49, whereas it’s normally $1.99. The sale will last through August 15.

There’s been little news about IronFall since the game’s initial reveal last year. However, despite the silence, VD-Dev has continued to tinker away on development.
VD-Dev’s hard work sounds like it’s paying off, as the studio confirmed on Twitter that the game is 90 percent complete. It also seems that we’ll be hearing about a release date in September. One thing is for sure: IronFall will launch before the end of 2014.
@Nintendo_Pe game is ready at 90 %. its becoming a big game, i am sure you'll like it 😉

The wait was incredibly long, but the Nuketown 2025 map finally came to Call of Duty: Black Ops II on Wii U yesterday. That might not be the only piece of new content heading to the game.
IGN spotted the Die Rise in Black Ops II’s menus, though it hasn’t actually been added just yet. We’ll have to wait and see if it ends up being accessible.
