Around the Water Cooler is the latest feature we’re introducing on Nintendo Everything. It’s mainly being led by Scott – someone who you may have seen before if you’ve checked out his Unlikely Review video (more of those are hopefully coming soon by the way!).

So here’s the deal. Around the Water Cooler is you’re opportunity to sound off on Nintendo-related subjects. Every two weeks, Scott will come up with a new topic (we are definitely welcoming topic ideas from you guys), and discussions will be held in each post. The subsequent video will highlight select comments about the previous topic made on both the main site and/or on YouTube.

Scott wanted me to let you know that this first video is a bit of a pilot. We already have a few improvements in mind, and your comments/interest will shape Around the Water Cooler’s future. Also: you’ll see more than just a silly green screen next time!

And now for this week’s topic: 2D vs. 3D Mario…


Sound off in the comments below!

Bayonetta Wii U

This past week, Nintendo clarified to us how it intends to offer the first Bayonetta to Bayonetta 2 buyers in North America.

Ultimately, it’s quite simple. Nintendo has confirmed that Bayonetta will be included with the physical release as a separate disc. Meanwhile, those who purchase Bayonetta 2 on the eShop will still get Bayonetta 1 at no additional cost.

The situation is fairly similar in Europe. You can find information about Bayonetta 1/2 for PAL territories here.

Next Level Games

Next Level Games’ Ken Yeeloy, in a recent interview, sounded off on several topics. Yeeloy commented on the studio’s development process, how being a second-party Nintendo dev affects projects, projects in the works (nothing could be revealed as expected), some continued interest in Punch-Out!!, and more.

Read on below for a few of Yeeloy’s words.

A Pac-man double today, the first shot details the 3DS exclusive stage:

Pac-Maze is a stage exclusive to the 3DS version, created in the Pac-Man motif. If you eat 100 Pac-Dots, Power Pellets will appear in your color.

Sakurai continues, drawing focus to the series’ trademark power pellets:

If you eat a Power Pellet, the monsters will become vulnerable and you can defeat them just by touching them. An important point is that the monsters will become vulnerable only on your screen, which means that they can still damage your opponents!! This is one of the unique game features only possible in the 3DS version.

Alright, I think we’ve filled up the front page with enough quotes from Nintendo’s 74th Annual General Meeting of Shareholders. Between the comments we picked out today and the unofficial English translation posted last week, that should satiate your appetite for Nintendo tidbits! Still, you can find the full translation here.

Nintendo’s Shigeru Miyamoto, Shinya Takahashi, and Satoshi Yamato sounded off about several topics relating to Wii U and more at the company’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders a few days ago.

The three discussed the lack of titles for Wii U and initial difficulties in developing games in the HD era. Additionally, we have quotes about sales and smart devices.

You can find the full set of comments below.

More:

At Nintendo’s Annual General Meeting of Shareholders meeting last week, one investor asked when we will next see The Legend of Zelda for Wii U. Unfortunately, Shigeru Miyamoto wasn’t able to say, but he did speak more about the game in general terms. Miyamoto specifically discussed Zelda Wii U’s “open world” – a term that he personally doesn’t like to use when making software, “but we used this term in order to make it easier for consumers to understand.”

Miyamoto went on to discuss The Legend of Zelda: A Link Between Worlds and how Nintendo started to change up the series’ formula with that game. And very interestingly, Miyamoto teased unannounced “ideas” for 3DS that he hopes fans will look forward to.
