New Amiibos Announced for September; 8-bit Mario and Animal Crossing Amiibos Leaked

June 15, 2015

Earlier today Nintendo announced a new set of Amiibos that will be hitting stores in September. The first set of Amiibos happen to be three different Mii Fighters, one for each class, while the second set features mostly classic Nintendo icons.

These Amiibos happen to be R.O.B., Duck Hunt, Mr. Game & Watch (who will have changeable silhouettes), and the odd bird out Falco. It is worth noting that at the time of the announcement, Masahiro Sakurai did say that every Super Smash Bros. fighter will be given their own Amiibo, including Roy, Ryu, Lucas, and Mewtwo.

That wasn’t all the news Nintendo had for Amiibo lovers though. Shortly after the announcement of the aforementioned Amiibos, Nintendo of Europe’s Spanish section made the mistake of leaking an image that contained a number of un-announced figures. This includes an 8-bit Mario, Animal Crossing figures, and Animal Crossing cards.

Of course since this was simply a leaked image, no details about these figurines and the games they will be used for were revealed, though the 8-bit Mario is likely for Mario Maker while we will have to wait and see regarding the Animal Crossing ones.

Well today Nintendo rewarded these fans by announcing that they are indeed localizing another Earthbound game, although it isn’t Mother 3 like most people have been asking for.

Instead they are localizing the original Mother title under the name Earthbound Beginnings which is still some great news. To go along with this announcement the company released an English trailer for the game and by the way, it will be available for purchase tonight at 9PM EST though it is worth noting that no price was revealed at the time of the announcement.

Update: Earthbound Beginnings is now available for download on the Wii U and is priced at $6.99 in North America.

Transformers: Devastation Announcement Leaked

With E3 this year being something of a boat that springs a new leak every few hours, it shouldn’t come as too much of a surprise that another leak has occurred in the form of Transformers: Devastation. First found by Pure Xbox, and later confirmed by a now removed Best Buy Canada listing, Transformers: Devastation is being developed by Platinum Games and will feature cel-shaded designs of the classic Transformers characters.

The listing has also confirmed that Transformers: Devastation will be released on the PlayStation 4, Xbox One, PlayStation 3, and Xbox 360 with a placeholder date of October 6, 2015. Players will be able to select from five difficulty levels and play as Optimus Prime, Bubblebee, Sideswipe, Wheeljack, and Grimlock as they face off against the Decepticons in action packed gameplay that allows for instant robot to vehicle attacks, “slam downs” counterattacks, and infinite combos for a unique combat system.

Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel Heads to North America this Winter

Despite only just being announced for home consoles in Japan last week, XSEED Games has already announced that they will be releasing Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel in North America sometime this winter for the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3. Developed by Examu, the title features numerous playable heroines from Nitroplus’ collection of IPs as well as a number of fighters that have yet to be revealed for the home release.

It is worth noting that the announcement did tease that some of the fighters “Western audiences are sure to find enticing” though XSEED did not go further than that. That being said, it has already been announced that Super Sonico will now be a playable character instead of a support character and that Homura from Senran Kagura will also be included as a fighter.

For those that haven’t been following the game, Nitroplus Blasterz: Heroines Infinite Duel allows players to select a main character as well as two partner characters to head into “fast and flashy combat” with “easy-to-execute” combos and plenty of cinematic cut-in attacks. When launched the title will support online cross-play between the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation 3 versions of the game.
