Hello and Welcome to Dillians
Nintendo News Recap.
This week is a rather brief recap,
because most of the interesting stuff has already been covered during
the Investors meeting. Nonetheless let us start with the new
releases.
New Releases:
- Yo-Kai Watch – Nintendo 3DS Game Card
- Pixel Maker – Wii-U Download-Software
- Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge – Wii-U Download-Software
- Lost Reavers – Wii-U Download-Software
- Mini Mario & Friends: amiibo Challenge – Nintendo 3DS Download-Software
- Super Punch-Out!! - Virtual Console(New Nintendo 3DS)
- Run Run and Die – Wii-U Download-Software
- Tap Tap Arcade – Wii-U Download-Software
- Sssnakes – Nintendo 3DS Download-Software
- Shutshimi – Wii-U Download-Software
An OK week I would say. Europe finally
got Yo-Kai Watch and Lost Reavers seems to be a solid Free to Play
title. Apart from these two there is mostly junk, but at least Super
Punch-Out!! for the New Nintendo 3DS is a fun virtual console title.
However it speaks volumes on the software situation on the Wii-U that
this is considered an OK week.
Nintendo:
The big news this
week was, of course, the Nintendo investor meeting that happened on
Wednesday. There Nintendo President Kimishima informed shareholders
about the performance of Wii-U, 3DS and the upcoming plans of the
company. Here are the highlights:
- Nintendo was profitable, but the profit was down in comparison to last year.
- Wii-U and 3DS sold slighty less than last fiscal year.
- Miitomo is a huge success with over 10 Million Users
- Fire Emblem and Animal Crossing are the first two Nintendo series to get smartphone apps.
- The NX will launch worldwide in March 2017.
- Zelda U is now Zelda U/NX it will launch in 2017 for both consoles.
- This year Zelda will be the only game at E3.
If you want to
read a more insightful post, I wrote one. You can view it here:

Nintendo
President Kimishima also had a Q&A with the shareholders
following the investors meeting, where we got some more information
on the NX.
- NX won't be sold at a loss, like the Wii-U was at the start.
- The NX launches in March to ensure enough games are available at launch and in the post launch period
- Nintendo has a lot of confidence in the NX and plans to make up the failure of the Wii-U.
- NX is planned to have a long lifespan.
Metroid Prime: Federation
Force:
This past week the PAX East in Boston took place and of course
Nintendo was present. GameXplain got the chance to have an extensive
look at Metroid Prime: Federation Force and released a gameplay video
for you to enjoy.
Fire
Emblem:
And not only did the guys over at
GameXplain get the chance to hunt space pirats, but also to delve
deep into the world of Idols and Demons!?
But not all is great with Tokyo
Mirage Sessions#Fe, because some censorship has already been spotted.
So far it's only light, but I'll keep an eye on it, and in the worst
case won't buy this game either. Or at least only get a used copy of
it. Hopefully my fears are unfounded.
The Legend of Zelda:
Apart from the painful delay of Zelda U this week also gave us
another Zelda related information. Some of you may know the Zelda
Mangas, which retell the Stories of the several games and add some
more plot to them. For example did you know that Young Link and
Volvagia formed a close friendship, making it all the harder for
Adult Link to kill him? All that and more can be found in these
Mangas. And now Twilight Princess finally joins the club and get its
own Manga iteration. Vol. 1 will launch in June in Japan.
Splatoon:
And finally we have a quick update on Splatoon. This past weekend the
second live concert of the Squid Sisters took place and it was very
cool and very japanese. Check it out:
And that was it for this week. Enjoy your games and enjoy the
weekend.
And as always
thanks for reading
