Shakedown Hawaii

Yesterday, Nintendo of America uploaded a teaser trailer for Shakedown Hawaii, which is coming out this year on the Nintendo 3DS (via the Nintendo eShop):

On Reddit, Brian Provinciano (the developer) held a mini AMA on Reddit: you can check out his answers by clicking here!

Head after the break for the rest of this post!

Project X Zone 2

Project X Zone 2 came out yesterday in Europe, and will be released on Tuesday in North America. Here’s the launch trailer for the game:

If you want to learn more about the development of the game, you can check out this NintendoLife interview with Kensuke Tsukanaka (Bandai Namco, Producer) and Soichiro Morizumi (Monolith Soft, Development Director)!

Super Mario Maker

During the Game Party Japan 2016, Nintendo held a Super Mario Maker tournament. There was two categories:

Create
Play

For the Play category, Nintendo used levels submitted by players online, which were carefully selected. If you’re interested in trying them out, Nintendo posted all the course IDs on its official blog. If you have a Nintendo Network ID, you can check out the Super Mario Maker Bookmark Web Portal instead, and bookmark the levels you want.

However, for the page to work, you need to set the website to Japanese (drop down menu in the bottom right corner). To bookmark a level, simply click on the big white button.

Finally, here’s pictures of the Super Mario Maker tournament at the Game Party Japan 2016:

Oddworld: New ‘n Tasty

Oddworld: New ‘n Tasty finally came out this week on Wii U, in Europe and North America. NintendoLife recently had the opportunity to chat with Lorne Lanning, the creator of Oddworld. In this interview, they talk about the Wii U struggles, the possibility of an Abe amiibo, and more.

Check it out:

Shadows of Adam

Shadows of Adam is an RPG that is supposed to co:me to the Wii U… provided the stretch goal is met during the Kickstarter campaign. The problem is, the campaign is not doing well: as of writing, only $11 242 (out of the $20 000 required) have been pledged, with 6 days left… and that’s only for the main campaign.

However, in an interview with Nintendo-Online, the creators explained that even if the Kickstarter campaign was to fail, they would still complete the game (though it would obvious take more time, and they would need to narrow the scope of some areas).
