DeNA have partnered up with <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/12/nintendo-nx-new-console-as-powerful-as.html" target="_blank">Nintendo</a> to bring some of the company's biggest IPs to the mobile audience.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Fans were left a little puzzled, however, when the first title announced looked more like a social app than a new game, Miitomo, which will not launch until closer to March 2016.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
DeNA President Isao Moriyasu has spoken more on the subject since, revealing some key aspects on how Miitomo will function.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Moriyasu told the <a href="http://blogs.wsj.com/japanrealtime/2015/12/24/qa-dena-ceo-talks-about-nintendo-partnership/" target="_blank">Wall Street Journal</a>: “There’s that distinct Nintendo feel to the game that gives you a certain comfort and nostalgia. The user interface, feel and sound—it’s all very Nintendo.</div>

“Miitomo places more emphasis on entertainment. The process of discovering new aspects of your friends via Miis can be quite fun.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“One distinct aspect of Miitomo is how you can configure your Mii to have it look very similar to yourself. Communicating with friends who actually look like your friends in real life is a distinctly different feeling from text-based communication.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
“We’re thinking of linking the game with users’ Facebook friend lists. I think it could be fun connecting with friends people don’t often communicate with.”</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Other new details revealed about the service include how DeNA plan to monetize it through selling clothes users can buy for their Miis.</div>

“The places that you’ll interact with in the real world — historical sites, artwork, prominent or special local businesses, those will play a role in Pokemon Go just as they would for us. </div>

“That same mechanic of encouraging people to take a walk in the park and see some aspect of their city they haven’t seen before, to go explore a nook or cranny in a part of the city they haven’t been to before so they can get a new Pokémon, that will be at work. </div>

<div style="text-align: justify;">
NINTENDO news this week includes the new update for Splatoon and the release of Super Mario Galaxy on Wii U. </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Splatoon's latest update has changed a lot of the ground rules for the top Wii U title, providing a range weapon balancing, as well as changes to ranking and stages.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Update 2.2.0 from <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/10/nintendo-nx-release-date-update-and-new.html" target="_blank">Nintendo</a> goes live October 20 and includes making Rank S+ players matched up with other Rank S+ players more frequently, while also adjusting the amount of Ranked points gained and lost by players.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Developers have also decided, meanwhile, that Rank S players will be matched up with other Rank S+ players less frequently, while Tower Control has also seen some ranked battle adjustments.</div>
<ul>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
The Special Gauge will automatically charge gradually for the team that has control of the Tower regardless of who has the lead.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
Decreased the speed at which the Special Gauge automatically increases.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
Increased the amount of knockback when players using Bubbler or Kraken are hit from above or below.</div>
</li>
<li><div style="text-align: justify;">
Changed the way in which the Splash Wall bounces when thrown against the top of the pillar of the Tower in order to increase the difficulty to place a Splash Walls on the Tower while riding the Tower.</div>
</li>
</ul><blockquote class="twitter-tweet" lang="en"><p lang="en" dir="ltr">All you cool cats are feline fine this morning. Congrats to Team Cat for winning the Splatfest! <a href="https://twitter.com/hashtag/Splatoon?src=hash">#Splatoon</a> <a href="http://t.co/FUSrklBufs">pic.twitter.com/FUSrklBufs</a></p>— Nintendo UK (@NintendoUK) <a href="https://twitter.com/NintendoUK/status/656092599346929669">October 19, 2015</a></blockquote> <script async src="//platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nintendo have also launch a long list of weapon adjustments that <a href="http://splatoon.nintendo.com/assets/media/splatoon-patch-v2-2-0-notes.pdf" target="_blank">can be found here</a>, it should be noted that adjustments have been made to Main Weapons, Sub Weapons, and Special Weapons.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
A new gun was added to the roster available to fans on Wii U earlier this week, the Rapid Blaster Pro is based on the Rapid Blaster but boasts increased range.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Nintendo encourage fans to try it out and to use their Seekers to create an advantageous position then strike from your opponent's blind spot.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
It follows reports that Wii title, Super Mario Galaxy, could be ported to the Wii U.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
 </div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Dataminers have reportedly found traces of the game on the European eShop servers for the first time, pointing to a potential re-release of the game.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
The game can already be found on the Japanese store using Nintendo’s Wii games on Wii U program, with sequel, Super Mario Galaxy 2, also playable.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
There were reports earlier this month that The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess HD was also being planned for release on Nintendo's latest console.</div>
<div style="text-align: justify;">
Speculation was also raised over whether <a href="http://newsnewsblog.blogspot.com/2015/09/super-mario-galaxy-3-nintendo-talk.html" target="_blank">Super Mario Galaxy 3 on Nintendo NX</a> is something developers could be working on.</div>
