Hello and Welcome to Dillians Nintendo News Recap.
It was a pretty uneventful week, apart
from some new NX rumors, but don't we get those every week? So let's
jump right in with new games released this week.
New Releases:
- Chompy Chomp Chomp Party - Wii-U Download-Software
- Metroid: Other M – Wii Download Version (Wii-U)
- FreezeME – Wii-U Download-Software
- Justice Chronicles – Nintendo 3DS Download-Software
- Tachyon Project – Wii-U Download-Software
- The Beggar's Ride – Wii-U Download-Software
No huge title this week, as so often,
but a selection of fine E-Shop titles and an okay Metroid Title. If
you like 3D Jump'n' Runs in the vein of Super Mario 64 you definitely
should take a look at FreezeME.
Miitomo:
On March 31st Nintendos first Smartphone app launched in most western countries, and now the company announced that Miitomo already passed 3 Million downloads, making the social app a huge success.
While Miitomo is
nothing for me, there is obviously a market there and Nintendo is
wise to tap it. Congratulations.

Pokemon Go:
While
the closed Beta for Pokemon Go is well underway in Japan, we still
have to wait for the spiritual Ingress successor. Still we got some
fresh news from our friends in the east.
- There are now fights against wild Pokemon currently in the Beta. You simply catch them by throwing your Pokeball.
- You can individualize your Trainer with different clothes.
- There have already been found 137 different attacks in the source code of Pokemon Go, which indicates that there will be a battle mode.
- At the start you'll get a starter Pokemon.
- There is a function called Starburst. What it dose? Your guess is as good as mine.
- There have been found several mentions of Google Cardboard, a VR-Device by Google, in the source code.
- You can choose between teams. Red, Blue or Yellow.
- In the Beta there are currently only first generation Pokemon.
- There are seven item categories.
- Pokemon will have different Natures, but they won't be the same as in the regular games. In the Beta the Natures are: Assassin, Guardian, Raider, Protector, Sentry and Champion.
- There aren't any Micro Transactions in the Beta.
- There will be a System that differentiates between Day and Night.
- There will be normal, legendary and mysterious Pokemon available.
- In the Beta there is currently no mention of Mega-Evolutions.
We
also got audio samples for the Music in Pokemon Go:
Nintendo NX:
Lord
give us our weekly NX rumors. I just mention it, so that this Post
won't be incomplete. But I won't talk about it anymore, because I'm
pretty sick of the constant NX rumors, leaks and all of that. People
treat this baseless speculations as fact and are quick to jump to
conclusions. Honestly it's pretty tiring and that's why I won't talk
about the NX anymore. At least until it's officially unveiled by
Nintendo.
Oh
and by the way. I heard that the NX will cook your meals.
Star Fox Zero:
This
week we not only got gameplay material for Star Fox Zero, but also
the English introduction Video. Also we got some deeper insights into
how Amiibos interact with the game. While it was already known that
Fox unlocks the classic Airwing from the SNES title, we now also know
what Falco does. With his Amiibo you'll get the chance to fly the
Black Airwing.
This
Airwing can target two enemies at the same time, but also takes
threefold the damage of a normal Airwing. It's also not the Airwing
that Miyamoto mentioned as a way of making the game harder, but
another optional way to increase challenge of Star Fox Zero.
And
here are the Videos:
Metroid Prime: Federation Force:
Some
new gameplay material from WonderCon surfaced. And I must say that it looks good. I still think that this will be a good and enjoyable game´.
All
in all it was a pretty normal week and I'm pretty hyped for StarFox
Zero. What about you? Was there any News that stood out for you this
week?
And
as always
thanks
for reading
