Nintendo Everything

Zoink is done with Stick it to the Man, which means we won’t be seeing any DLC in the future. However, the studio could revisit the IP… one day.

On Twitter, Zoink said that “a sequel would be fun.” This would happen in the future though, as the team is currently hard at work on a new title.

Game Informer caught up with Splatoon producer Hisashi Nogami and co-director Tsubasa Sakaguchi at E3 2014. The two were asked about several topics, including what it’s like to get new IP started at Nintendo, and they also discussed why original characters were the only fit as opposed to established ones.

As usual, we’ve picked out some excerpts from the interview below. You can find the full interview on Game Informer.

Update: This is available online after all. You’ll need to look for games that specifically say, “buy 2, get a third FREE”.

Target is holding a buy 2, get 1 free sale on all Wii U games this week. The offer lasts through June 28. You can take advantage of the deal in store, though I don’t think it’s available on the Target website.

A “Mario White Edition 3DS XL” seems to be releasing in North America, based on a new listing on Play-Asia. The system is listed for a July release with a $299 price point. New Super Mario Bros. 2 is included in the package, as is – strangely – Pro Evolution Soccer 2011.

The design above may look familiar to some of you. It was one of three unique systems released by iQue in China back in December 2012.
