Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, New Nintendo 3DS, News, Wii, Wii U | 2 Comments
Game Informer was able to conduct an interview with Monolith Soft’s Tetsuya Takahashi, Nintendo, and Monster Games about Xenoblade Chronicles. Takahashi was able to speak about the original game while discussing cut ideas like wanting to have the ability to fly. He also revealed Smash Bros. director Masahiro Sakurai wanted Shulk in the Wii U/3DS games, and had the idea for the bathing suit skin. Other than that, there’s some Xenoblade Chronicles 3D-specific comments from Monster Games.
We’ve rounded up all of the various quotes below. For those that are interested, you can find Game Informer’s original article here.
Some Smash Bros. Wii U players unable to play online due to Mewtwo 10-Man Smash glitch
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 7 Comments
Some Smash Bros. players on Wii U are experiencing issues playing the game online after obtaining today’s Mewtwo DLC.
The issue comes about for those who have cleared 10-Man Smash with all characters and then beating it again with Mewtwo. After doing so, they encounter a corruption of save data, which resets the overall GPS for the mini-game to zero. When these players attempt to play online, they receive the message: “You have been disconnected because of irregular save data.”
Players will just need to be patient while Nintendo comes up with a fix. Fortunately, this problem only appears to be affecting the Wii U version of Smash Bros., so the 3DS edition should be safe.

Update: Yacht Club says it’s a “mis-listing” – Shovel Knight coming to retail
Posted on 9 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, News | 12 Comments
Update: Here’s what Yacht Club is saying about the situation:
Physical release of Shovel Knight would be cool! And we're still looking into that! Any retail details are just a mis-listing at this time.
— Yacht Club Games (@YachtClubGames) April 14, 2015
I’m not really too sure what to make of that. Best Buy isn’t one to make mistakes, and we even have the boxart, so… I still think this is going to happen. We’ll see. If we hear anything either way, it’ll be right here on the site.
New product listings on Best Buy’s website reveals that Shovel Knight is seeing a physical release at retail.
Entries for 3DS, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One versions have been spotted. At the moment, it’s unclear if the Wii U version will be receiving the same treatment.
Based on Best Buy’s listings, Shovel Knight’s physical version will cost $29.99. It’s tentatively slated for September 15.
