Comcept, Inti Creates, and Deep Silver announced a new release date for Mighty No. 9 today. The game is now confirmed to be shipping on February 9, 2016 in North America and February 12, 2016 in Europe. On 3DS, Mighty No. 9 will be shipping at a later date.

Today’s news was announced at TwitchCon. It’s also worth mentioning that the PC demo is live on Humble Bundle for Kickstarter backers.

Mighty No. 9 was most recently planned for September 15. However, the release date was shifted at the beginning of August.

Update: Bumped to the top. The page is now live, and there are currently ten that can be purchased (thanks CrossForte).

The standard New 3DS finally launched in North America today, but if you’re looking for cover plates, the only option thus far has been importing. That could be changing very soon, however.

An image has appeared on the Nintendo online store showing that New 3DS cover plates will be sold to U.S. and Canadian customers. You can check out the page here, though it’s currently blank. We do at least know that cover plates like the one pictured above should be going on sale soon!

Who would play Link in a live action movie based on The Legend of Zelda? What about the casting for a new Super Mario Bros. film? Shigeru Miyamoto and Takashi Tezuka were asked about these questions in an interview with MTV.

As for feature length films in general, Miyamoto once again expressed openness to the idea. After discussing the Pikmin short movies that can be seen on both Wii U and 3DS, he said: “A feature length film? It’s definitely a secret! I can’t make any comments right now but we’ll see.”

Check out the full interview with Miyamoto and Tezuka below.

Twitter user NWPlayer123, who is known for data mining Nintendo games, has come across an interesting discovery. It appears that there are files within the game for the Angry Sun. That’s leading to speculation of DLC, though there’s definitely no such confirmation currently.

NWPlayer123 also came across a couple of other interesting things. Also found through data mining, it seems as though there were originally plans to allow players to place Bullet Bills without a launcher. Moreover, Goomba’s Shoe was considered for New Super Mario Bros. U mode.

It’s Nintendo’s 126th birthday today! The company was established way back on September 23, 1889.

Nintendo has certainly come a long way since its early days of creating hanafuda playing cards. I can only imagine where the company will go from here. I’m sure there will be plenty of fun along the way!

System: Wii U
Release date: September 23, 2015
Developer: Golden Ruby Games
Publisher Ripstone

Author: Dennis

Genuine arcade games in the modern era have been one of those lost treasures we see far too few of. When they do arise, some still fall short of bringing something refreshing, memorable, and fun to the table. Extreme Exorcism brings back the old school in the best way possible, delivering a unique and fun experience everyone can enjoy. Gameplay is the core focus of Extreme Exorcism, and it executes on this front so incredibly well.
