Every week, Nintendo refreshes the 3DS eShop with several “shelves”. Today’s shakeup introduces the Wario section along with several others.
Interestingly, Super Smash Bros. for 3DS is listed in the new Wario shelf. Might this mean that the character will be returning in the new Smash titles for Wii U/3DS?
Most Wii U games these days tend to cost $59.99. In the case of Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker, however, it might be quite a bit lower than that.
Kmart has Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker listed for $39.99. If you pre-order the game today, that’s exactly how much it would cost you.
Is this the universal price for Treasure Tracker? Only time will tell!
Siliconera posted a new preview for Bayonetta 2 today, revealing details about the game’s second chapter. Read on below for a summary of the report.
– Titled “A Remembrance of Time”
– Takes place in a town
– Fight with an Enrapture at the beginning of the level
– Enraptures can make other Angels go berserk
– This is indicated by an enemy turning red
– When enraged, Angels’ defense and attack are increased
– Enraptures themselves do not go berserk
– Carry two sets of weapons in Bayonetta 2
– Can change them on the fly
– Demo had the option of swords and guns like the E3 demo
– The game has Angels that look like Centaurs
– You can ride them in Bayonetta 2
– Stun a Centuar and then walk up to it for a contextual command that says “Ride”
– Bayonetta jumps on after pressing a button
– The Centaur violently tries to knock Bayonetta off, but kicks other enemies in the process
– Bayonetta finishes her ride by tossing the Centaur which kills it
– The game has hidden black portals; Nintendo won’t comment on what these are
– Demo has a hidden mission where Bayonetta had to fight three Centaurs in a small space
– End of the chapter has you fighting a huge boss that spit poison blobs at Bayonetta
– This boss also had a stomp attack that dishes out serious damage, but it can be easily dodged
– Can use a spear from a fallen Centaur during the fight and the Umbran Climax, a new move that lets Bayonetta use her Wicked Weave hair attacks when her magic gauge is full
– The final blow came from a frog-like familiar that wrapped the boss with its tongue
More bits from this week’s Famitsu interview with Valhalla Game Studios head honcho Tomonobu Itagaki have popped up online. Itagaki spoke more about Devil’s Third including how Nintendo encouraged him to inject more of the company’s “distinctiveness” and not hold back, why it’s more than an average shooter, and more.
Head past the break for Itagaki’s comments.
