Nintendo has released new screenshots for Zelda: A Link Between Worlds showing two newly-revealed mini-games: Treacherous Tower and Octoball Derby. Here’s the overview of each shared by the Big N today:

Treacherous Tower involves Link fighting his way through numerous floors filled with a variety of enemies via three difficulty levels, while Octoball Derby sees Link step up to bat in a baseball-inspired minigame situated in Lorule where rupees are earned by smashing pots and knocking over enemies littering the field.

Devil Survivor 2: Break Record has been delayed in Japan, Atlus announced today. It’ll now ship sometime next year as opposed to fall 2013. Atlus said it hopes to improve Break Record’s quality with the extra development time.

Nintendo has put up the entire transcript for its latest financial results briefing held in Japan a few hours ago. You can find it here.

We’ve already covered the presentation extensively in summary form. If you’re interested in an overview, check out this post.

Along with today’s screenshot, Sakurai passed along the following message on Miiverse:

“The trial version of Wii Fit U is available now! We’d like to share this pic to commemorate the occasion.”

Two Tribes will be releasing some of its classic games on the Wii U eShop starting with Toki Tori, which the studio hopes will be ready for launch next week. EDGE and RUSH are two other classic titles Two Tribes will publish before year’s end.

In the case of EDGE, it seems as though a 3DS version is also in the cards. This is something that Two Tribes hinted at previously, but never officially announced. But based on a discovery of ours, it’s now all but confirmed.

A rating for a 3DS version of EDGE recently popped up on the USK. After following up with Two Tribes, we were given a simple response: “More news on this soon!” I’d expect an official announcement in the near future.
