Super Mario Maker is receiving yet another new costume. Players can soon get their hands on Barbara the Bat from the Band Brothers series.

The new Event Course has not actually gone live just yet, but it should be up Thursday evening (early Friday morning in Europe). You’ll be able to nab the costume after completing the level. For now, watch the official video for Barbara the Bat below.

Today, Nnooo announced plans to localize The Legend of Kusakarai for western markets. Librage originally released the game in Japan last May.

For those who haven’t heard of The Legend of Kusakarai, here’s an overview:

You know what’s the worst thing ever? Fighting slimes and dragons knee deep in grass and weeds.

Well if Kusakari has anything to do with it it wont be that way for long. Get your scythe sharpened and jump in to this quirky Japanese adventure puzzle game. Slice through over 50 levels of grass filled action and help those heroes save the kingdom, in battle grounds fit to have a picnic on!

The Scythe:

Rush from blade to blade and then getting hacking! As you slice away at grass your Scythe will become sharper and start to level up. The higher the level the bigger are you can cut using your special ability. Watch out tho’ Kusakari gets pretty ill if he’s not cutting that grass so make sure you eat up those odd blue bits of grass for a health boost (I’m sure there is nothing odd about eating glowing blue grass right!?) then rush off to the next patch!

And the original Japanese trailer:

A western release date for The Legend of Kusakarai has not yet been confirmed.

Moon Studios, developer of the critically-acclaimed Ori and the Blind Forest, appears to have at least some interest in working with NX. The problem? The team has had trouble securing a dev kit.

Moon Studios’ Thomas Mahler sounded off on the situation in a NeoGAF post. His disappointment isn’t entirely directed at Nintendo though, as he says “every hardware manufacturer is treating their devkits and their unreleased consoles like they’re the second coming”.

Mahler’s words in full:

“This is actually THE singlest most annoying thing for every dev out there. We also talked to Nintendo and got absolutely nothing – I’ll never understand that. And just to be clear, it’s not just Nintendo, every hardware manufacturer is treating their devkits and their unreleased consoles like they’re the second coming and are insanely secretive about it to a stupid degree in todays time. It’s not even that the hardware isn’t finished (duh), but you could at least give me the goddamn specs, so we’d know what to build s*** for!

What’s needed to sell hardware is goddamn good software. With Nintendo not having any devkits out there at this point and probably even wanting to sell it in 2016, I can already guarantee that they’ll just not have any software support, since nobody can just jumble games together in less than a year. I mean, you can, but it’ll be garbage.

The same is true for Engine Support – Get Unity and Epic to support these consoles WAAAAY ahead of release. By the time the console launches, it should be EASY for developers to develop games for these systems, things shouldn’t just only start at this point. I want the goddamn devkits or at least proper hardware specs ideally 2 years before release – Keep all the developers updated, start a forum where devs can chat and all figure out the problem everyone’s having, instead of everyone just having to deal with it. None of that’s happening anywhere and it’s just braindamaged.”

Nintendo has just announced that Yo-Kai Watch will be released in Europe on April 29th. With this, the game will finally be available in all regions.

If you’re in Europe and just can’t wait two more months, you can actually just import the game from Australia. Yo-Kai Watch was released there last year and Europe and Australia are part of the same region as far as games are concerned, so the 3DS’ region lock won’t affect it.

System: 3DS
Release date: February 23, 2016
Developer: Digital Eclipse
Publisher Capcom

It’s been over half a decade since Mega Man received a new release, but the iconic character still lives on by making the rounds with appearances in places such as Super Smash Bros. Finally though, a new product is here. Mega Man Legacy Collection brings together the first six titles of The Blue Bomber’s adventure into one spot, with added challenges, a museum to look at concept art from each game, and a music player to listen to some of the series’ most memorable tracks. This package serves as a way to honor Mega Man’s legacy and impact since his arrival into video games, and is one hardcore fans of the series will certainly enjoy.

Nintendo has come out with the latest 3DS firmware update. Version 10.6.0-31 is now available in all territories.

As for what’s behind the update, you all can probably guess the purpose. The lone note from Nintendo: “Further improvements to overall system stability and other minor adjustments have been made to enhance the user experience”.

Update: This is also listed by Synnex (Nintendo distributor for North America).

Disney Art Academy could be in the works, based on a newly-discovered retailer listing. MacMall has reason to believe that the title is coming to 3DS.

Most of Nintendo’s Art Academy releases have been pretty traditional. But following Pokemon Art Academy, this would be the series’ second spin-off – assuming there’s truth to MacMall’s listing. We’ll let you know if we hear anything official.
