Nintendo has released a new trailer showing off Birdo’s addition in Mario Tennis Aces. Get a look at the video below.

Polygon recently spoke to longtime Pokemon developer Junichi Masuda about the early days of the franchise’s development. During the interview, Masuda recalled one interesting story about how all work on the original games was nearly lost.

According to Masuda, a computer crash almost caused everything Game Freak had done on the project to vanish. The PC had all of the game data, Pokemon, and more. Masuda eventually figured out how to get back what was thought to be lost, but if he hadn’t, there could have been a massive setback that the team may not have been able to recover from.

NIS America has revealed the next DLC fighter for SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy. Street Fighter EX, appearing form Street Fighter EX, will be available in the game.

Nintendo today shared new comments from some of the team members behind The World Ends with You: Final Remix. Creative producer and main character designer Tetsuya Nomura, director Tatsuya Kando, and music composer Takeharu Ishimoto all had a few things to say about the game.

The most interesting comments are arguably from Nomura. Nomura has again pointed towards interest in creating a sequel, stating that “this is the final chance for creating a path to the next step, which I’ve had ideas about since the first launch 11 years ago.”

Since the invention of Twitter, important scrolls have become a thing of the past. However, The Messenger tasks you with taking a scroll of upmost importance, from west to east; or for those unfamiliar with side scrollers, that means from left to right. Action and platforming in 8bit style graphics may be where your adventure starts but like a ninja in the shadows, there’s more to this game than meets the eye.

Shadows of the Empire wasn’t always a Star Wars game. In an interview with Game Informer, co-project leader Jon Knoles revealed that after wanting to take a break from Star Wars, the team “started kicking around this idea of a western with this new machine we heard Nintendo was making.”

Everything changed after Nintendo reached out to LucasArts about making a Star Wars game for what would be the N64. The Big N was interested in something new with original characters.
