Nintendo has opened a new “Camp Miiverse” community that allows fans to participate in gaming events spanning across the entire social media network over the next few weeks. Anyone and everyone is eligible to join so long as they have the games that will be played.
Here’s an overview of Camp Miiverse from Miiverse’ Tom:
And here’s a look at the first challenge:
This isn’t quite Camp Hyrule, but it’s nice to see Nintendo trying to bring back the online camp experience!
Monster Hunter series producer Ryozo Tsujimoto dished on his impression of western players – primarily in America – as part of an interview with Siliconera.
Tsujimoto said that the original assumption was that they’d have a more aggressive playstyle. However, he learned that this wasn’t actually so and they were more careful like Japanese players.
Here’s Tsujimoto’s comments in full:
Indie developer Jose Varela is bringing his mobile title Midtown Crazy Race to the Wii U eShop. The game is due out on July 31 in Europe, with the North American launch coming “soon after”. Pricing is set at $4.99 / €4.99
Varela informed us that Midtown Crazy Race will have off-TV play. Players will also be able to use the GamePad as the steering wheel.
Midtown Crazy Race offers the same features as the mobile version, and you can preserve the rotation of the camera view no matter how you tilt the GamePad. There is only one variation with the Wii U release: to unlock cars, you must win a certain numbers of races. All touch controls have been replaced with the GamePad buttons.
You can find a few screenshots from Midtown Crazy Race above.
One of the folks over on NeoGAF has translated an older Famitsu column from Masahiro Sakurai in which he discusses the inclusion of Little Mac in the new Super Smash Bros. He talked about his strong impression of Punch-Out!! before going into the character’s abilities and other elements.
Here’s the translation in full:
Activision released the first screenshots from the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles 3DS game. You can find them in our gallery above.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
