Nintendo News: 02.05.2016 - 06.05.2016

Hello and Welcome to Dillians Nintendo News Recap.

This week was mostly depressing. Apart from the bad news about Tokyo Mirage Sessions#FE ther was nothing interesting and the new releases this week are just... well take a look yourself.

New Releases:

• Pentapuzzle – Wii-U Download-Software
• Reptilian Rebellion – Wii-U Download-Software
• Pocket Card Jockey – 3DS Download-Software
• Sweetest Thing – Wii-U Download-Software

This is just plain bad. No denying that. None of these games look appealing. Pocket Card Jockey is a game from Game Freak, yes the guys who make Pokemon, but it looks and plays like handy game. Still some reviews of the game make I sound surprisingly entertaining, so maybe some of you will give it a try.

E3:

After the investor meeting last week, which disappointed many fans, Nintendo now officially revealed their E3 plans for this week. It is basically what we already knew (and feared) since last week. There won't be a Digital Event or any kind of press conference. There also won't be a Nintendo World Championship or Smash Bros. Tournament like the last two years. It seems that this things have sadly died together with Satoru Iwata.

This year there will be only a presentation of the new Zelda via Nintendo Treehouse Live, which is not bad, but certainly a step down from the previous years, where Nintendo showed how a good E3 is done. (Not so much in terms of games in case of 2015, but their live presentation over the course of 3 days was always top notch and a joy to watch).

Apart from that Nintendo will also host an exclusive E3 presentation for their business partners to highlight their plans for holiday 2016. Nothing that normal people will be able to watch, but I guess we'll get the information from that event within a day.

Pokemon:

This year marks the 20^th anniversary of the Pokemon Franchise and the pinnacle of this celebration will certainly be the launch of Pokemon Sun/Moon in the fall. But after the announcement of the new games we had to wait a long time for new information. Luckily the wait is now over. On the 10^th of May we'll finally get a first glimpse at the newest Pokemon adventure.

Miitomo:

Nintendos first smartphone app still I is a huge success. But one of the most glaring shortcomings of it was the difficulty to add new friends. Well soon this won't be a problem any more, because Nintendo announced that an update for Miitomo will allow players to add friends via E-mail and other services. The update is scheduled to release soon.

Splatoon:

As one of Nintendos biggest hits on the Wii-U Splatoon was already used several times to cross promote other products via Splatfests. The last saw players battle for Team Patrick or Team Spongebob because of a collaboration with Nickelodeon. This time the product promoted comes from inside Nintendo, Miitomo. The question this time is, do you prefer a stylish gala or a cool costume party?

But that is not all, because we also got a first look at the Squid Sister Amiibos, which will launch in Europe on the 7^th of July. They both look awesome and if you have a hard time deciding between them, as I do, then there is good news. There will be a bundle available, which contains both of them. Also there will be a limited release of the old Splatoon Amiibos with new color variations. The prices for the Amiibo will be the same as for others, with 14,99€ for the single figures and 29,99€ for the Squid Sisters set, which is strange because it means that the set costs 1 Cent moe than buying both separately.

Bayonetta:

Congratulations to one million sales worldwide. This is a well deserved success for a great Wii-U Game.

Tokyo Mirage Session#FE:

After the bad news about the censorship earlier this day (You can take a look here: http://dilliansthoughthub.blogspot.co.at/2016/05/tokyo-mirage-sessionsfe-hidden-boobs.html) we also got some new gameplay material. And while it won't make the censorship forgotten, it sill looks like a crazy fun and very japanese game.

Nintendo:

After the line of Pokomen lingerie from several weeks ago Nintendo has once again revealed a collaboration for a clothing line. This time however it's something more fitting (not that I think the Pokemon lingerie wasn't awesome). Nintendo and Vans have announced a series of themed footwear, and I must admit that some of them even look wearable. Of course I'm talking about the Princess Peach version.
