Hold onto your brick butts, these downloads are headed back to the farm and the doctor's office.

A surprisingly brisk week in the Nintendo downloads, as both the 3DS and Wii U head back to Zach Miller's happy place in LEGO Jurassic World tomorrow to coincide with the movie that will make all of the money this weekend.

On the Wii U eShop, the biggest game on the docket is one of the most beloved... Read more...

Plus Japanese sales and Amazon apparently getting back in the game.

In what’s already been a busy day this close to E3, there’s some smaller things that may have slipped by – but we’ve caught it all for you.

One of the year’s biggest indie titles is getting some new free content, and may add a paid expansion in the future.

And it includes the one game the Wii U version forgot.

KoeiTecmo Japan has posted a video of a 3DS version of Hyrule Warriors that will include Wind Waker content. The Japanese title roughly translates to "Zelda Musou: Hyrule All-Stars".

The video confirms Tetra and the King of Red Lions will be playable, and real-time character change in the vein of Samurai Warriors Chronicles may be included.

The summer fun rolls on.

Splatoon's newest map is unlocking tonight for multiplayer, though it may be familiar to those who have beaten the game.

The Kelp Dome stage will open up as a multiplayer map at the usual Splatoon update time of 10pm ET, 7pm Pacific. Kelp Dome will become the seventh multiplayer map for the game.

The first public appearance since E3 last year is... slightly disturbing. UPDATED with UK release date

A video was posted to the Nintendo Japan Youtube account which serves as the first showing of Devil's Third since E3 2014.

The video shows lead designed Tomonobu Itagaki speaking against a stark black background intercut with game footage. The end of the video confirms the game's release on August 4, and although the game will be available digitally the retail release will be an Amazon exclusive in Japan.

The host, the eight invited guests, and another game were all confirmed.

Nintendo has provided some more details about this Sunday's Nintendo World Championships in a video posted on their Youtube channel.

Another Sonic Boom is coming, and we'll all have to accept that.

It’s been a busy day in the world of Nintendo news, including an unexpected game announcement and some major staffing news on a big collaboration.

Sega has announced the follow-up to last year’s moderately disappointing Sonic Boom games, but it’s only the 3DS version that’s getting another shot.

A couple of game announcements and some updates are on the menu.

Some news that has come out in the last few days includes confirmation of a new localization in XSEED's E3 release and a cool indie announcement for Wii U owners.

XSEED's E3 lineup was confirmed on Friday and in addition to all of the Kiseki games for the Vita will include an intriguing crossover.

If you can predict the completely unpredictable, you'll win a selection of wonderful prizes.

UPDATE: It is now 11:00 Eastern on Saturday, and the entries have been assembled. The form has been taken down. Good luck to everyone who entered... even the guy who picked Black Ops 3 Wii U with Amiibo support. The list of entries is in the Talkback below!

We are... oh sweet Arceus, a week out...... Read more...

Don't call it a comeback, he's been here for years with vanishing blocks leaving suckers in tears.

After a five year hiatus, Mega Man is returning to consoles with a new collection of classics for the 3DS.

Releasing this winter for 3DS, the Mega Man Legacy Collection will retail for $14.99 / €14.99 / £11.99 and include the 6 NES Mega Man games. The games are being developed by Digital Eclipse on an engine that claims "faithful reproductions of the originals" while adding online leaderboards and demonstration videos.

WARNING: CHALLENGER APPROACHING

We'll be finding out what is coming to Smash Bros outside of the E3 digital event.

Nintendo has announced a presentation by Masahiro Sakurai detailing new Smash Bros content will air on Sunday at 7:40 a.m. PT / 10:40 a.m. ET / 1640 CET.

The video is timed to start 20 minutes before the Lucas downloads become available, but may confirm content beyond that. We'll be on top of it for you.

A more elegant weapon for a more civilized kid or squid.

Splatoon's newest weapon will drop tonight, and it's a little competition for the roller in the melee department.

The Inkbrush covers the ground in a similar fashion to the Splat Roller, but in a narrower line. To compensate, the brush moves faster and can be swung like a sword at melee range.

No crying until the end.

A major update to both the 3DS and Wii U versions of Smash Bros is coming on June 14 at 11am ET / 8am PT, and adding some new big things.

The biggest news is that Lucas will go up for download after the update. The Mother 3 veteran will be available for $3.99 / £3.59 for a single version of the game (3DS or Wii U) or $4.99 / £4.49 for both.

These downloads look deep within my soul and assign me a number based on the order in which I joined.

Hitting the Wii U this week is the beloved era-shifting platformer Adventures of Pip which Zach reviewed late last night, and the Virtual Console picks up a Super Nintendo puzzle game that also pays tribute to the Pac-Man Amiibo that released last week in Pac-Attack. But of course, you're here to find out who controls the British crown... we don't have that, but we do have The Stonecutter for you.

Flash-inspired OpenFL framework gaining support for Wii U and 3DS.

At WWX2015, a Haxe developer conference, Lars Doucet revealed that OpenFL, an open implementation of the Adobe Flash API is coming to consoles. With OpenFL running on consoles, ports of Flash and Haxe games will be much less work and much cheaper to produce.

The first three games to be ported will by Defender’s Quest HD by Level Up Labs, Paper’s Please by 3909, and Yummy Circus by Puzzl.

Play Mario Maker and score some swag (while supplies last)

Nintendo has so many locations for the Best Buy Mario Maker demos, they set up a tool to point you to them.

The Nintendo E3 site has updated with a special tool that lets you search by zip or postal code to see which Best Buys will be running the Mario Maker demo on June 17 and 20. Early arrivals at the demo station will also receive a special 30th anniversary Mario pin.

Those who beat the average are in for some serious treats.
