title update

Update: Thanks to the Japanese update page, we can confirm what we all expected: improved stability. This should be the standard line when the English page has the patch notes: “Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience”.


Nintendo has made a new 3DS firmware update available. Across regions, version 10.4.0-29 is available for download.

We’re actually still waiting for patch notes on this one. However, given the version number change, it’s unlikely to have brought along significant functionality.

With the arrival of the Shovel Knight amiibo, the game itself has received an update. Version 2.2 is out now in North America on both Wii U and 3DS. It’s not yet available in Europe, but Yacht Club Games says it “should be rolling out to systems within the next week.”


Shovel Knight’s 2.2 patch also encompasses the 2.1 update, which adds amiibo support. Europe has had access to 2.1 since December while North America has been at 2.0 until today. You can find the notes for the two latest updates after the break.

Cube Life: Island Survival’s 1.1 update was previously made available in North America last month. It’s now out in Europe today as well. You can either wait for your console to download it automatically, or start the software to initiate the download.

Major features included with the 1.1 patch are as follows:

– Local Multiplayer with Deathmatch, Tower Defense, Co-op Modes
– Create and play custom maps in Multiplayer (Deathmatch)
– Now more than 350 items and tools
– Larger game map, with new enemies
– Inventory management via Wii U Gamepad, Wii U Pro Controller & Wii Classic Controller

Shovel Knight will soon be getting another update. Version 2.2 is already out on Steam, and will be published on other platforms in the near future, including Wii U and 3DS.

Shovel Knight’s latest update introduces a few small aspects, adjustments, and fixes. Head past the break for the full patch notes.

Last week, Super Mario Maker received its 1.30 update. This added some new elements and compatibility with the Bookmark portal site. Today, Nintendo has followed that up with another small patch.

Super Mario Maker’s 1.31 update is now available to download. You can grab it by booting up the game, or wait for it to be downloaded automatically.

Given the small increase in the version number, there’s not too much behind today’s update. Nintendo says some problems have been fixed so that the game can be played more comfortably.

Miiverse

A new Miiverse update went live this week. There aren’t any major additions, but there are a couple of changes.

First, for the Wii U, 3DS, and PC version of Miiverse, users now need to choose a tag when creating a message in the Discussion section. Options include “Hint”, “Question”, “Looking for Teammate”, and more.

Also new to the PC version of Miiverse are links to different game pages on Nintendo’s Japanese website. These pages have basic information about different titles and allow consumers to make purchases. Note that this feature is only live in Japan at the moment.
