Nintendo of Japan just announced that an update will be coming to Brain Age for Wii U, adding save states and a Virtual Console menu. It’s possible that this might also tie into the Miiverse closure announcement but at present this is unclear.
Coming to the eShop in just a couple of weeks, it was revealed that Pokemon Art Academy will cost 3909 yen when it launches. No word on the Western pricing has been revealed as of yet.
Looking at a new item today, Sakurai explains the new Boomerang item as recently seen in Mario Kart 8:
Here’s a new item that we’ve thrown in–the boomerang. As you’d guess, it’ll fly back into your hands after you throw it, and if you keep catching it, its attack power grows with each throw! However, opponents can nab the boomerang out of the air, so it might be an easier item to use in Smash Run.
In Japan, Square Enix has released four more downloadable tracks and one new character for Theatrhythm Final Fantasy: Curtain Call.
Here’s the full roundup of the game’s latest DLC:
Songs
Final Fantasy VIII – “Premonition” – battle music
Final Fantasy Fables: Chocobo’s Dungeon – “Pop-up Duel” – battle music
Final Fantasy Tactics – “Ovelia’s Theme” – field music
Final Fantasy IX – “Vivi’s Theme” – field music
Character
Final Fantasy Tactics – Orlandeau
Pricing is set at 150 yen for each download.
Nintendo launched the DS Virtual Console today in an understated way with the release of Brain Age. It’s out now in Japan as a free download.
The game itself is a very small download. It only takes up 55MB of space, with the user data requiring another 64MB.
One new Virtual Console game is on track for the Japanese Wii U eShop next week. Blazing Lazers (PC Engine) will be out on June 11. Pricing is set at 617 yen.
