Terraria – final Wii U update out now, 3DS patch in the works including larger worlds on New 3DS
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, New Nintendo 3DS, News, Wii U | 4 Comments
There’s plenty of news surrounding the Nintendo versions of Terraria.
First, on Wii U, a “catch-up” patch is out now. The update is about “clearing up the handful of issues from the launch of that version” and also “brings Wii U into line with the other consoles in terms of content.” That means the inclusion of the Stylist, plus new mechanic fixes and items. The full patch notes are here.
This will actually be the last update for Terraria on Wii U. Writing on the Terraria forums, 505 said:
“This update is intended to draw a line under Terraria on Wii U as it did with the other platforms – so we are afraid that no further updates for Wii U will be possible due to technical limitations. Bear in mind that you now have the same great content in two hits. There were more updates on the other platforms simply because they were released earlier. The content is the same. The logic for being unable to further update Wii U is, regrettably, the same as the ‘old gen’ machines – though the Wii U does admittedly have more resources than the 360/PS3, it is still a fraction as capable as PS4 and Xbox One, and we need all their available horsepower to take Terraria where we want to go next. This version will still be able to play online, so you can continue to enjoy it as long as you’re gaming on the Wii U platform. By the time the next update rolls out on PS4/Xbox One we’ll be very close to the launch of NX… But let’s not get ahead of ourselves.”
On the 3DS side of things, CodeGlue is developing a content update for later in the year. They’ll be looking to address reported issue with stability and crashes while implementing fixes as well. These include:
– Now to able to deactivate pets
– Chain gun accuracy fixed
– Ice Queen no longer blocks everything else from spawning
– Items from Angler are fixed
– Orb projectiles sped up
– Acorns don’t just grow on grass
– Flowers in pots grow to full maturity
– Tempest staff bugs fixed
The team is currently pushing what is possible on 3DS. However, the ability to hammer into stairs is being looked into, along with “a few other treats.”
If you’re a New 3DS owner, you’ll be happy to hear that the new update will allow for larger worlds, which “is likely to be the same as the small world on the PC version.”
“Not only will this give you a bigger canvas for your adventure, it will also help us eliminate the occasional worldgen issues that can happen when you try to squash all of the parts of a Terraria world into a smaller space. The enhanced specifications of New 3DS makes this possible! Do note that players will not then be able to invite original 3DS gamers into these larger worlds. We didn’t take the decision to offer split content between original and New 3DS lightly, but we’ve maxed out the older unit and we felt like there was still more to give to Nintendo handheld gamers. All 3DS units will be eligible for the update, but only New 3DS players will see the benefit of larger worlds.”

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 11 Comments
Update (8/23): Niantic’s site post indicated that the new Pokemon GO update was available yesterday, but it looks like it took a bit longer than expected to fully roll out. It should be fully available on both iOS and Android now.

Pokemon GO receives new server-side update, brings about a few changes
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 2 Comments
Pokemon GO doesn’t have a new patch to download, but users have noticed that a server-side update has been pushed out. Reddit user NaestaChalmers provides a summary of what’s been detected thus far:
– New movesets for some Pokemon (confirmed by Game_Master file)
– Dodging changed to general max. 75% damage evasion (confirmed by Game_Master file)
– Regional spawn rates increased heavily (confirmed by obvious observations)
– Increased potion drop rates (highly likely due to multiple observations and testing)
– Rare spawn increase in general (highly likely due to multiple observations)
– Faster egg hatch updates (likely due to observations and minor tests – needs more testing)
– Nest changes, needs to be further elaborated (unlikely: some observations but no general evidence, most did not change)
Niantic is committed to updating Pokemon GO on a regular basis. A new iOS and Android patch will likely go live in the near future.

Typoman dev wants to bring new “Revised” version to Wii U, but has limited resources
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U eShop | 0 comments
Typoman started off as a Wii U exclusive last year. Developer Brainseed Factory has since been bringing the game to additional platforms under the name “Typoman: Revised”.
As the name suggests, several improvements and changes have been made based on player feedback. The hint system is gone, many segments were designed (such as boss battles), and the controls were updated.
With Typoman starting out on Wii U, some have been hoping that those who bought the game on that platform would have access to the new version. It’s something that Brainseed wants to accomplish, but promises can’t be made yet due to limited resources.
The studio recently wrote on Twitter:
@brainseed_fcty it's on our todo list and we'd love to release Typoman: Revised on the Wii U but can't promise yet due to limited resources.

Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS eShop, News | 0 comments

At this point, we can tell you that the Japanese Voice Mode will definitely be included in the Striker Pack for sure. Just like the Steam version, it will have all of the voices back in place and the new translation to go along with said voices. As for any sort of patch/update to the digital version of GV1, as soon as we have something for you, we will not hesitate to announce it.”
Speaking of the Azure Striker Gunvolt: Striker Pack, it’s late September launch isn’t entirely set in stone. According to Inti Creates, it “may extend slightly into October by a few days.”
Lastly, aside from that, today’s news update also includes official details on the Azure Striker Gunvolt 2 bosses Gibril and Asroc. Head past the break for the latest on these two characters.

Update: Android – Miitomo version 1.4.1 out now on iOS
Posted on 7 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Mobile, News | 0 comments
Update: This update is out now on Android as well.
Towards the very end of July, Nintendo released a new Miitomo update. This added the Candy Drop mini-game and more. For the full update notes, give this post a visit.
Nintendo has now followed up on Miitomo’s latest update by bringing out another small patch. Version 1.4.1 is out now, though only on iOS. Patch notes are unfortunately unavailable, as they’re exactly the same for 1.4.0. It likely means Nintendo has implemented small bug fixes/addressed minor issues given the low change in version numbers.
