Bandai Namco has opened an official teaser site for the recently-announced 3DS game “Haikyuu!! Tsunage! Itadaki no Keshiki!!”. You can find it here. The site is mostly bare bones at present, but there are a few small screenshots to check out.
Goodbye Galaxy Games appears to have plans for a first-person shooter on the 3DS.
Studio head Hugo Smits started out by first asking fans the following on Twitter:
who would like fast paced FPS with a twist on 3DS?

Smits then wrote soon after:
@Trev_G1 @df2506 I got some cool ideas for one… so if there are enough people wanting it…
— Hugo Smits (@HugoSmits) March 30, 2014
@df2506 @Trev_G1 Yeah Moon looks amazing! Can't wait to play! But I'm more talking classic FPS like Wolfenstein 3D or Doom for my project 🙂

All of this culminated with the following tweet:
Okay pretty sure I will work on a FPS game for 3DS this year then.. haha busy year this is going to be!

In addition to the new 3DS shooter, Smits is trying to wrap up two more projects for the handheld, and may even bring a title over to Wii U – like a Tappingo port.
@GoldMetalSonic Might start with WiiU this year. it will be something 'easy' like a port of Tappingo, need focus on tech-side first!

Patrick Redding, director of Splinter Cell: Blacklist, has joined Batman: Arkham Origins developer Warner Bros. Games Montreal. Redding is officially with the studio as a creative director, according to his LinkedIn profile. At this time, it’s unclear as to what he’s working on.
BLOK DROP U creator Michael Aschenbrenner has shared a new look at the game’s upcoming update on Miiverse. As shown in the shot above, it’ll bring about an upgraded art style, including slight shadow effects.
Aschenbrenner’s full Miiverse message reads:
Today is day 1 of my 3 day reveal for the new BLOK DROP U update. Today’s screenshot is of stage 11 and shows off the new art style. Also, you will notice that I added a slight shadow effect to the bloks and blades to give the game a dimensional look. Let me know what you think in the comments and check back tomorrow for another screenshot reveal!
Ittle Dew has been made for PC, Mac, and Linux. But it’s the upcoming Wii U version that Ludosity founder Joel Nyström says is his favorite.
Nyström told NintendoWorldReport.
My favorite version is actually the Wii U version. Being the last and final version of the game, it has a little more love and polish than the other versions, plus it has some nice features the others don’t have.
On Wii U, Ittle Dew features “a map that is revealed as you go in real time, and the ability to play off-screen.” The Pro Controller and Classic controller are supported in addition to the GamePad.
One element the Wii U version of Ittle Dew won’t support are online leaderboards. Nyström explained why this is so:
Unfortunately, we don’t have online leaderboards on the Wii U, since it would mean we’d have to set up our own servers, etc. That’s a whole other ballpark that’s outside of our reach as a small indie studio. We do still have locally saved best times, of course.
GAME stores across the UK will be distributing a pair of Pokemon for Pokemon X/Y later this week.
Starting on April 4, those who visit any GAME location can receive codes for Magmar or Electabuzz. Pokemon X players can earn the former while Pokemon Y players will receive the latter Pokemon.
Codes will be printed on cash receipts upon request. No purchase is necessary.
Electabuzz will come with an Electirizer whereas Magmar will be holding a Magmarizer. When traded holding these items, Electabuzz will evolve into Electivire, while Magmar will evolve into Magmortar.
You can find today’s announcement below with additional information pertaining to the Pokemon card game and upcoming advertising.

In this photo provided by Nintendo of America, actor G Hannelius, currently starring in the Disney Channel sitcom Dog With A Blog, films a promo for the new Disney Magical World game with actor Cole Pendery at the Downtown Disney® District last month. Disney Magical World launches exclusively for the Nintendo 3DS family of systems on April 11. Cole is holding the new Mickey Edition Nintendo 3DS XL system that will be available at Wal-Mart and the Nintendo World store.
Last week we heard about a Peach Pink 2DS system coming to GameStop for the launch of Disney Magical World. And today, Nintendo has confirmed a special 3DS XL system based on the same game.
Walmart and Nintendo World will both be selling the “Mickey Edition” 3DS XL model. We don’t have any clear photos of the system yet, but the system is featured in snapshots of an upcoming commercial for Disney Magical World that Nintendo just passed out. It looks pretty similar to the Japanese console released a few months back.
