Hello and Welcome to Dillians
Nintendo News Recap.
This week proved to be the calm before
the storm that will be Star Fox Zero. But that is the future, and
we're here for the present. So lets jump right in.
New Releases:
- Star Sky 2 – Wii-U Download-Software
- Paranautical Activity – Wii-U Download-Software
- Pilotwings – Virtual Console (New Nintendo 3DS)
- Yoshi's Story – Virtual Console (Wii-U)
- Super Strike Beach Volleyball – Nintendo 3DS Download-Software
- Color Bombs – Wii-U Download-Software
- Olympia Rising – Wii-U Download-Software
I haven't played Yoshi's Story, but
it's widely recognized to be inferior to its predecessor Yoshis
Island. It's also considered to be quite easy. Still it's the most
noteworthy release of this week. From the other games only Olympia
Rising looked interesting to me, because I like the pixel artstyle
and fast pace 2D Action. Apart from these two games there isn't
anything noteworthy to talk about this week. Let's hope that next
week proves to be better.
MyNintendo:
This week three
new outfits for Miitomo got added as rewards for MyNintendo. For 200
Miitomo or Platin Points you can get you character one of the stylish
new outfits seen below.

Pokemon:
This
week proved to be quite eventful, if you're a Pokemon Fan. First of
all the Japanese CoroCoro magazin released their highly anticipated
Pokemon Sun and Moon news, which proved to be completely non
newsworthy. They released the Cover of the new editions, but they
have been covered up, so that the only thing shown is that Sun has a
red color scheme and Moon has a blue one. Surprise!
Bu of
course that hasn't been all. The most important news this week was
the announcement of new merchandise for the franchise. Of course
merchandise is nothing new for Pokemon, but the direction GameFreak
took with this one, may surprise some of you. To celebrate the 20th
anniversary of their success franchise they decided to release...
underwear. Female underwear to be specific. What a time to be alive.
Next up
is an interesting rumor. According to several sources at least three
movie studios are currently interested in acquiring the rights for a
live action Pokemon movie. Warner Bros., Sony and Legendary are all
interested in the franchise. Especially Legendary makes this case
intersting, because the studio is owned by Chinese investor Wanda and
the relationship between Japan and China can legitimately be called
strained. Of course none of the involved parties has given a
statement so far, but it's definitely an interesting prospect. Could
a live action Pokemon Movie work? Or is it one of those properties
that should go the animated route?
And
lastly we got a new trailer for the upcoming Pokemon movie:

Animal Crossing:
15 Years ago on the Gamecube a
franchise started, which nobody would have thought to become one of
Nintendos biggest IP. But now we're here and Animal Crossing: New
Leaf has sold 8.85 Million copies worldwide.

I have never played an Animal
Crossing game, but I could see myself easily get caught up in it. And
I'm sure the video is not the only thing Nintendo has planned for
this anniversary.

Splatoon:
Nintendo and Nickelodeon have
teamed up to bring you the newest Splatfest, and it's probably one of
the most appropriate to date. Team Patrick vs. Team Spongebob.
The special thing about this Splatfest is the fact that for the first time players from Europe and America can face each other in this ocean crossing event. It takes place from 23rd to 24th April.

Super Mario Bros. :
Yes you have read this correctly. A news about a 31 year old game.
But in the world of Speedrunning the age of game is, by no means, an
indicator for it's popularity. And you're never done, because there
is always something to improve. The american speedrunner darbian
proved this this week by beating his own world record for Super Mario
Bros. by 367 milliseconds. Yes milliseconds. Here is the full video
of this impressing feat.

Kirby:
On the 10th of June Kirby launches his new adventure on
the 3DS. Nintendo is slowly starting to release more information
about the game and this week they started with a Japanese overview
trailer. They also announced that a special version of the game will
be released with the new Kirby Amiibo included, but we all we're
suspecting this anyway, so that's no surprise. Anyway here is the
trailer:

And that was it for this week. Enjoy your games and enjoy the
weekend.
And as always
