Nintendo News: 05.06.2016 - 10.06.2016

Hello and Welcome to Dillians Nintendo News Recap.

This week we have a healthy dose of new releases and interesting News, so without further ado let's delve right in.


New Releases:


  • The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 – Wii-U
  • B3 Game Expo for Bees – Wii-U Download-Software
  • Pokemon Ranger: Guardian Signs – Virtual Console (Wii-U)
  • Pokemon Ranger: Shadows of Almia – Virtual Console (Wii-U)
  • Kirbys Dream Course – Virtual Console (New Nintendo 3DS)
  • Puzzle Labyrinth – Nintendo 3DS Download-Software
  • Kirby: Planet Robobot – Nintendo 3DS Game Card

It got better. Although it wasn't hard after last weeks releases. Still this week is quite a good one. Kirby: Planet Robobot looks even better than Triple Deluxe. If you like Jump'n'Runs, Kirby or devouring everything, which dares to stand in your way, you should give this game a try. On the Wii-U we have two cool Pokemon Titles for the Virtual Console. Even though I never played the Ranger Series of games myself, I only heard good things about them. And The Book of Unwritten Tales 2 is a extremely funny Point'n'Click Adventure. If you like Games like Monkey Island, Day of the Tentacle or Deponia you should definitely check it out.



Splatoon:



We start this week with some Splatoon News. Nothing special, just a small update about the upcoming Splatfest. This time it will ask the difficult question of whether you'd rather travel around the World or travel through Space? World Trip or Space Adventure? Whatever your answer is, you can fight for your teams superiority on 11th of June starting at 19:00 CEST.



Mario Kart:



Either Nintendo of Europe are genius trolls, don't know how to use hashtags properly, or they truly have given us a small hint that there maybe is more on the horizon for Mario Kart 8. In case you didn't hear it, Nintendo of Europe has tweeted the above picture with the message: Good things come to those who wait #MK8.

This message coupled with the Hashtag of Mario Kart 8 has led people to believe that more Mario Kart 8 DLC could be on the way. And I must admit that this doesn't sound to unlikely. It's pretty clear that apart from Zelda and Paper Mario Color Splash we won't be getting any more major titles for the Wii-U. But with some new DLC for the successful evergreens of the System Nintendo could expand the life cycle of their Console and satisfy customers. Whether or not this proves to be true, I think there is a good possibility that MK8 will get some more DLC.



Nintendo:


My Nintendo is Nintendos first try at an online service and so far it does an okish job. It get's updated frequently with new rewards for Platin or Gold Points. One of those new rewards are the Kid Icarus Uprising short movies, which were released together with Kid Icarus:Uprsing. These short movies were produced by renowned animation Studios Production I.G, Stuido 4°C and SHAFT.
To celebrate the fifth anniversary of the e-shop in Japan these movies can now be download onto your 3DS via MyNintendo. It's unclear if these offer will also come to the West, but as someone who has seen all of the short movies, I definitely hope so. They are great.




But don't worry. The 5th birthday of the e-shop will also be celebrated here in Europe by Nintendo and several other Publishers. From the 09.06.2016 till 23.06.2016 many games will be sold with discounts. Maybe you'll spot some gems you don't have in your collection yet, so here is the list:

All in all a good selection of games, but most of us probably own them already. It would have been cool if they offered a chance to play the new Zelda game, but then the onslaught would have been to great. Anyways here are the dates, so if the tour comes nearby you can check it out:

And finally we have some news about e3. Well not directly. As we all know the video game convention starts in a few days and we'll all be discussing announcements and the new Zelda on every message board we know. But if you hate typing on a keyboard but absolutely love it on the Wii-U Gamepad Nintendo has a solution for you. Nintendo of America just announced on their Twitter that the Miiverse Community for e3 2016 is officially opened. 



Tokyo Mirage Sessions#FE:



The release of this game edges closer and Nintendo, trying their best to make us forget the censorship, have released two new videos for us to enjoy. One deals with the dungeons of the game, while the other is even better... It's a music video. Enjoy.



And lastly the fine folks at GameXPlain had the chance to delve into the newest RPG for the Wii-U already and opted to share the first hour of Gameplay with us. 



The Legend of Zelda:



People who bought the Limited Edition of The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD also got a Music CD with selected pieces from the Game. For everyone not lucky enough or who wants more Nintendo is now releasing the complete Soundtrack of the Game. At least if you live in Japan. Next month the Album containing 3 CDs with 108 Tracks will be released for 4.611 Yen (38€ or 43$). While there is no announcement yet if the soundtrack will also release in the West, we at least got the cover already.



We also got a new Artwork for the upcoming Zelda game, which shows us nothing new really, but looks cool nonetheless.



Pokemon:



As we all know 2016 is the 20th anniversary of the Pokemon franchise. To celebrate this Nintendo is giving away legendary Pokemon all across the year. For anyone not lucky enough getting Mew during it's first giveaway in February I have good news. From now till the 30th of June you'll be able to download the mysterious Pokemon via the Nintendo Network. Just use the pasword MEW2016. But if you got Mew already in February you won't get a second one this time.



Kirby:



And, like last week, we wrap things up with a new Kirby trailer. The game releases today, so this is probably the last time we see the Pink Ball for a long time. Enjoy an overview of the Amiibo features in the new game:




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

And as always

thanks for reading
