This week’s Paper Monsters Recut screenshot introduces us to an environment found in one of the game’s later areas. We also learn a need tidbit about the game straight from Mobot Studios. View the official screenshot description below:

This is towards the end of Paper Monsters Recut at the outskirts of Lord Papyrus’ castle, which is also where you’ll encounter some of the more challenging levels in the game with multiple lava pits, fire balls, and tons of classic platforming goodness. Fun fact: in the original game this background was only used in one of the cut scenes, but we liked the look of it so much that we brought it back to use the overworld and a playable level.

ONM #114 is the magazine’s last. The final magazine was produced and released this month.

It’s certainly sad to see that Official Nintendo Magazine has closed, but the pain is eased – though only slightly – with some neat things from some of the more important people at Nintendo.

First, Shigeru Miyamoto drew a special picture – shown above. There’s also a message from Nintendo of Europe president Satoru Shibata. You can find that below.

Update: Now over, but you can find the full replay below.

If it wasn’t already clear from this week’s Smash Bros. Wii U presentation, the game is filled to the brim with music. It has many more tracks compared to the 3DS version as well as Smash’s last console entry, Super Smash Bros. Brawl.

A screencap taken from the Super Smash Bros. for Wii U “50-Fact Extravaganza” presentation reveals that the title will feature over 400 pieces of music. We know that there are at least 437 tracks – a significant amount for sure!

You know how these things go. There aren’t major spoilers here or anything, but to be safe, we’ll post the news after the break!

Earlier today, the animated Pikmin shorts were finally shown at the International Tokyo Film Festival. While they haven’t been made available for everyone else to see just yet, we do have a trailer – that can be found below.

Shigeru Miyamoto and Dwango chairman Nobuo Kawakami also held a press conference of sorts later on. Plenty of information was revealed – the shorts will be coming to 3DS, a Pikmin 3 demo is in the works, and lots more. Head past the break for all of the juicy details!

We’ll be holding another Discussing Everything event on Sunday. Join us at 4 PM ET / 1 PM PT to talk about the latest Nintendo news and other random topics! Given yesterday’s Smash Bros. presentation, something tells me that most of the discussion will be focused on the Wii U game. I hope to see you there!
