Nintendo is preparing a brand new Animal Crossing: New Leaf update for the fall. It’s a significant one, as numerous features will be added. The primary addition is amiibo functionality, as you’ll be able to unlock new content by scanning figures and cards.

Another new feature was revealed on the Japanese Animal Crossing Twitter account tonight. After applying the patch, you’ll be able to take photos with what Nintendo is calling the “amiibo camera”. Unfortunately, that’s all we really know about it currently.

Next Tuesday, Minecraft: Wii U Edition will be receiving the Chinese Mythology Mash-Up Pack. On top of that, a new update is coming on the same day, which will bring about some new features. Take a look at what’s in store through the video below.

Update (9/16): We now have the patch notes – attached past the break.


Original (9/14): It’s been a busy couple of days for software updates. Splatoon received a new patch last night, followed by an update for Metroid Prime: Federation Force / Blast Ball. Now Minecraft: Wii U Edition has been updated as well.

At the moment, we’re not quite sure what’s included in the patch, but it doesn’t include any major new modes or features. When we hear from 4J Studios, we’ll update this post.

It’s only been a few days since the last Pokemon GO update, but another patch is being issued very soon. Niantic has sent word that players should be on the lookout for version 1.7.1 (iOS) / 0.37.1 (Android).

Given the slight change in version numbers, this is unsurprisingly not a major update. It’s merely intended to fix some small issues with Pokemon GO Plus.

In August, Bandai Namco said that the developers of Dragon Ball: Fusions were planning free updates for the game. We now have a few more details about what’s in store.

In the first update due sometime this fall, Fusions will be adding online play. Players can go online with friends and random people, trade, and look up leaderboards.

We had also previously heard about a new stage on the way. This is known as “Jikuukan Radar”, which will be able to pick up on Wi-Fi so long as the feature is turned on through your actual 3DS. Characters to battle will appear here, and you’ll be able to make friends with some rare ones.

Nintendo has released a first update for Metroid Prime: Federation Force and the Blast Ball demo. Version 1.1.0 is now available for download.

Here are the full patch notes pertaining to both versions:

– Fixed an issue that caused errors to occur when beginning Online Play in Blast Ball.
– Added a count-down timer to the team selection screen in the Online Play mode of Blast Ball.
– During matches in the Online Play mode of Blast Ball, players will be disconnected if they fail to make any inputs for a set amount of time.
– Other adjustments have been made to make for a more pleasant gaming experience.

The Metroid Prime Federation Force update is 446 blocks, or 55.75MB. The Blast Ball update is 420 blocks, or 52.5MB.

Splatoon underwent a little maintenance earlier tonight. That was likely to pave the way for a new update, as version 2.12.0 is out now.

Unsurprisingly, the update doesn’t introduce any new features or additions. It’s instead intended to address a couple of specific issues.

Nintendo’s official patch notes are as follows:

Multiplayer Bug Fixes

Fixed an issue which mistakenly allowed Sprinklers to be placed inside the Tower in Tower Control.

Stage Adjustments

Kelp Dome: Fixed an issue in all game modes that allowed players to move inside the raised starting platforms.
