Super Mario Maker should be receiving another new costume very soon. Some players managed to get their hands on Mashiko, but the outfit is no longer available. It seems that new Event Courses for Mashiko and Wolf Link went live very briefly several hours ago.

Mashiko, otherwise known as Mary O, is Super Mario Maker’s manual guide.

We’ll let you know when Mashiko and her new Event Course are officially made available.

Thanks to jikes10 for the tip.

As reported earlier today, Zero Time Dilemma has a big feature in this week’s Famitsu. There are details about the game itself as well as an interview with director Kotaro Uchikoshi.

Some excerpts from the interview has now leaked out of Famitsu. Head past the break to see what Uchikoshi said about the name, resolving mysteries, extreme scenes (possibly 3DS’ first CERO-Z-rated game in Japan), and changing character designers.

The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening started out as an idea for a modified version of A Link to the Past for the Game Boy. In the end though, that never came together. Link’s Awakening was ultimately born from, as Game Informer puts it, “an unsanctioned after-hours passion project for members of the Link to the Past team.”

Director Takashi Tezuka told the site:

“The main programmer wanted to challenge himself to create a Zelda experience on a portable system to see what he could do, and I was into the idea. We just had a passion to try and do something interesting. We didn’t really have permission to do it necessarily. We were just playing around.”

“Once we got it to a certain level of creation and completion that we wanted to show, then we took it to the company and got permission to continue developing it. But initially it was just a little pet project of ours. Because we started it that way – just making a game we wanted to make – it may defy Zelda conventions. It might have interesting characters and situations we may not have had otherwise.”

During an Iwata Asks discussion for Phantom Hourglass, Tezuka made a comment about how the experience of creating Link’s Awakening was similar to “making a parody of The Legend of Zelda.” He clarified these comments with Game Informer, in which he said:

“When we say parody, I’m not sure where that word comes from because maybe there are translation issues. With Zelda games we usually plan them out, every detail is considered. With Link’s Awakening, we were working on that after our other work was done. Kind of like a club of people who loved Zelda and got together to make it. It has a different feeling for that reason.”

A few months ago, it was looking like The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth wouldn’t be on Nintendo platforms. That still holds true for New 3DS, but it seems that the Rebirth expansion will be on Wii U after all.

Nicalis’ Tyrone Rodriguez just sent out several tweets stating that The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth is wrapping up on consoles, and the goal is to have it released next month in both North America and Europe. The subsequent message listed Wii U as one of the included platforms.

The tweets are as follows:

The Binding of Isaac: Afterbirth is the biggest expansion for The Binding of Isaac: Rebirth. You can see what it looks like in a previous trailer below.

It’s kind of amazing what a year can do. At this time last year, I was seriously concerned about Nintendo Everything’s future. I wasn’t sure if the site would continue, and for how long. That was really just the result of the society we live in. I love working on the site each day (well, aside from never sleeping!), but because of our poor financial situation, it would have been impossible to continue at our current pace.

That’s why we ended up trying Patreon last year. It did definitely help NE out a bit, and I can’t stress enough that I’m extremely thankful to those who contributed. But now I’m very happy to say that we no longer need any donations. Some elements came together extremely quickly this week where I now feel much better regarding the site’s financial state. I have no idea what will happen down the road, but for now, things are looking great.

We do have one last order of business! Our final giveaway winner is Jacob Turkowitch. We’ll be in touch shortly to arrange the sending of your prize.

Once again, thank you for the support during this past year!

Olympia Rising is coming to Nintendo’s console courtesy of Elliot Quest Wii U developer PlayEveryWare, the studio’s Thomas O’Connor has revealed to Nintendo Everything. The company partnered with creator Paleozoic Games to port and publish on the eShop. It should be available “in all regions” sometime in April.

Originally released last year, Olympia Rising is a 2D action-platformer featuring the young warrior Iola. After meeting an untimely end, she’s found herself in the Underworld. Iola can use a jumping and attack mechanic to take down enemies and help climb the Underworld with great maneuverability.

Here’s a trailer for Olympic Rising:

PlayEveryWare has also told Nintendo Everything that the match-3 puzzle title Jewel Quest is coming to Wii U. While PlayEveryWare worked on the port, iWin will be publishing. O’Connor anticipates that a release date will be shared “very soon.”
