Hello and Welcome to Dillians
Nintendo News Recap.
Apart from the Release of Star Fox Zero
and Star Fox Guard this proved to be quite the tame week, so let's
not lose any more time
New Releases:
- Star Fox Zero - Wii-U
- Star Fox Zero – Download Version (Wii-U)
- Dan McFox: Headhunter – Nintendo 3DS Download-Software
- Queen's Garden – Wii-U Download-Software
- Mario Party DS – Virtual Console (Wii-U)
- Mario Party 2 – Virtual Console (Wii-U)
- Langrisser Re:Incernation-Tensei – Nintendo 3DS Download-Software
Well the obvious highlight this week
was without a doubt Star Fox Zero. I'm currently playing the game,
and expect to have the Review up by Monday or Tuesday. Apart from
that Game there is your usual chunk of e-shop titles and virutal
console releases. Mario Party DS and 2 are Ok entries of the series,
so if you're in the mood to end some friendships grab those.
Tokyo Mirage Sessions#FE:
Let's start this
weeks recap with some great news. As many of you probably know I, and
many others, weren't to thrilled with the translation work Nintendo
did for Fire Emblem Fates. So there was a valid concern regarding
Tokyo Mirage Sessions#FE (still a great and easy to spell title by
the way). But luckily Atlus announced that they would handle the
translation of the game themselves. Looking at other Atlus games I
don't think we have to worry to much now.
Another piece of
Information regarding the game was the announcement of the Fortissimo
edition for Europe and America. This came as somewhat of a surprise
because of the sluggish sales of the game in Japan. The Fortissimo
edition will include the game, an artbook, a soundtrack CD, lyric
cards for sing along enthusiasts, stickers as well as several costume
DLC worth 1,99$ each. In America this edition is exclusive to Amazon
and GameStop and will cost you 80$. For Europe there currently is no
further information, except that the Fortissimo edition will release
here as well.
Star Fox Zero:
To celebrate the launch of Star Fox Zero Nintendo released a 15 minute animated video, which details the first mission of the game. It's a lot of fun, good animation and cheesy dialoge. So right up my alley. And it has once again, after Smash Bros. and Kid Icarus, made people beg for an anime adaption of a popular Nintendo IP. Maybe one day they'll fullfill this wish. Till then enjoy Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins.
Nintendo:
Several
months after the tragic passing of Nintendo president Satoru Iwata
Tatsumi Kimishima was elected as new Nintendo president. On March
21st he celebrated his 66th birthday. The first
as president of Nintendo. Congratulations Mr. Kimishima (even if its
late and you'll never read this.)
Metroid Prime: Federation Force:
After its announcement this game received a lot of backlash. The fan
frustration was quite understandable, but in the end still pretty
unfair to a game that honestly looks like it could be a lot of fun.
Soon the question if the game is fun or not will be answered. And I
use soon here very loosely. The Japanese Twitter account of the game
announced that its release was pushed backwards to make further to
the balance. But at least we now have the official release.
Metroid Prime: Federation Force will release on August 19th
in America, on August 25th in Japan and finally on
September 2nd in Europe.

Splatoon:
Splatoon is huge in Japan.
Really, really huge. The Japanese truly love Nintendos quirky and
unique shooter. To celebrate this the Squid Sisters will have their
second live concert on April 29th.
On this occasion Callie and Marie would like the attendees to dance
with them. That's why Nintendo released a video with the dance, so
that all Splatoon fans have a chance to train at home. Watching
hundreds of people perform this dance with two holographic squid
girls will be quite the sight... and very Japanese.
The Legend of Zelda:
This week several impressive videos of a Zelda: Ocarina of Time
remake surfaced. You better take a look at them before Nintendo
inevitably takes them down. All in all it looks very impressive and
shows what could be possible. For his fan project the creator,
CryZENx, uses the Unreal 4 engine. Especially the showcase of his
version of Gerude Desert is quite impressive. Take a look:
Summer Games Done Quick:
While these are not strictly Nintendo News many SNES, N64 and NES
games are important parts of these events, and I always love to
follow them. If some of you don't know Awesome Games Done Quick (Each
year in January) and Summer Games Done Quick are two events, where
several speedrunners gather to show us their skills and gather money
for a good cause. If you want to see your favorite games absolutely
obliterated in no time at all there is no better place. The runs at
these events are generally very entertaining and the runners and
commentators to their best to explain everything to the audience. If
you're interested in the world of speedrunning this events are always
a great place to start. And if not they are still a blast to watch.
This years Summer Games Done Quick will happen from July 3rd
to July 10th. If you're interested what games they'll play
and when those games are on, then take a look at the schedule.

Pokemon:
And lastly for this week we have a small tid bit of Pokemon rumors.
It seem the names of the new legendary Pokemons have been leaked by
their trademarks. It seem the Sun legendary will be called Solgaleo,
which indicates a Lion. It's counter part will be called Lunaala. Ala
is the word for wing in several languages so it could be another
legendary bird.
Now these two names are still rumors, but several sites are trusting
the source and so I'm willing to post about them here. Take from this
leak what you will. In May with new CoroCoro News we hopefully will
know more.
And that was it for this week. Enjoy your games and enjoy the
weekend.
And as always
thanks for reading
