Update: Some clarification – Nintendo games to be eligible for Niconico Creative Endorsement Program
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News | 40 Comments
Update: Some clarification (and partial corrections) via the source below: the Creative Endorsement Program was originally created by Niconico and its parent company Dwango – not Nintendo. It was originally started in 2011 to reward creators who made highly-viewed videos. Nintendo’s announcement was that its games will soon be eligible for the program.
Fans will be able to create and post derivative works without any concerns. It’s not limited to Let’s Plays, but game music covers and song covers as well.
Nintendo games will be eligible for the Niconico program starting December 1. Once that date rolls in, we should receive more information!
Dwango has revealed Tokaigi “Game Party Japan” 2015, which is all about playing games together. It will take place on January 31 and February 1 next year.
Some extremely notable Nintendo information has come through the initial announcement. Nintendo will be a special sponsor of the event, and president Satoru Iwata appeared in a video. He stated that the company now officially gives its permission for anyone to use their properties for derivative works – Let’s Plays, music covers, fan art, and more were specifically showcased.
Additionally, Iwata announced a “Creative Endorsement Program”. This will allow Nintendo to provide revenue to creators who produce well-received work. At the moment, this program is only available on Niconico, as it is a subsidiary of Dwango.
Xenoblade Chronicles X Director talks development on Twitter
Posted on 9 years ago by Jarop(@gamrah) in News, Wii U | 6 Comments
Last week following Xenoblade Chronicle X’s website launch, Executive Director Tetsuya Takahashi encouraged fans to follow the official Xenoblade Twitter account for potential updates on the upcoming open-world RPG. For the first time since then, he has opened up on the title and the folks over at Siliconera have translated his first bunch of tweets on the game, which he said he’ll be sharing 2-3 times a week:
“Apologies for the wait,
I’m thinking of rambling here 2 or 3 times a week from now on. This time, I’ll start by talking briefly about how the Xenoblade X project began.”
“After the completion of the previous Xenoblade, when I told [Hitoshi] Yamagami-san’s team at Nintendo that I wanted to create something a little more sci-fi usingXenoblade as a base, they said it could be worth the challenge.”
“So then, we began thinking about what updates would be possible with the Wii U (such as making the maps seamless, having the game connect online etc.) and started to research. When everything seemed feasible, that’s when actual development began.”

Lots of Lost Heroes 2 information
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 0 comments
Earlier today, Bandai Namco put out a press release for Lost Heroes 2 with a whole slew of details about the game. Gematsu weeded out the new information and has provided complete translations. You can find the full overview below.
Story Overview
Feeling impending danger, legendary heroes come upon Kaiser Belial gathering the Fragments of Regis in an attempt to revive Regis.Their efforts fail, though, with their powers sapped by Kaiser Belial and their lives in jeopardy. With nothing to get in the way of things, the power of the Fragements of Regis are unleashed, raining down darkness upon the world once more and bringing back the evil world of Cube as the forces of justice watch powerlessly. As the bastions of darkness intently pursue that power for its own ends, the Lost Heroes rise up and bring the fight to the enemy in the hopes of preventing Regis’ return before it’s too late.

Japan: New 3DS sales stacking up favorably to the DSi
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, DS, New Nintendo 3DS, News | 6 Comments
The New 3DS and DSi are very comparable products in their nature. Neither system is a true leap to the next generation of Nintendo handheld hardware, but both act as notable upgrades over their predecessors. Given how similar the New 3DS and DSi are – at least in their purpose – it’s interesting to see just how similarly the two systems have sold in Japan thus far.
The New 3DS and New 3DS XL have sold over 500,000 units in five weeks, according to sales tracker Media Create. As it turns out, this was the same case for DSi. That system released on November 1, 2008 and sold over 500,000 units in five weeks.
