Better late than never. Even if it is two years late.

Weapon Shop de Omasse, the fourth and final title in the Guild01 series of Nintendo 3DS games produced by Level-5, will finally receive its Western localisation this year.

The localised version was outed by a ratings listing from the Australian Classifications Board. A wider release to North America and Europe is currently unconfirmed but likely.

Dedede is coming right back at ya!

Kirby series antagonist King Dedede is the latest veteran fighter to be confirmed as a playable character in the upcoming Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo 3DS and Wii U.

The self-proclaimed king of Dream Land made his series debut in the last game, Super Smash Bros. Brawl, on Wii, and like many of the returning fighters revealed so far, he appears to carry over a lot of his attacking moveset, including the Super Dedede Jump and the Jet Hammer.

And the battle over the 3D camera's patent infringement continues.

Nintendo has been ordered to pay royalties on every 3DS sale to Seijiro Tomita of Tomita Technologies USA, plus a set fine. This all comes at the end of the heated legal battle between Nintendo and Tomita Technologies over a patent dispute started back in 2011 over the use of glasses-free 3D technology.

Marketing departments everywhere brush up on their Chinese.

China temporarily lifted its 14-year ban on gaming consoles on Monday, allowing gaming companies like Nintendo to sell systems throughout the country. At the moment it is unclear how long the suspension will last.

Speculation over the end of the ban began last year but was seen as a far off goal since all seven ministries involved in its creation would have to agree to lift it.

But each version will have exclusive trophies!

This is just like one of my Japanese animes!

Bandai Channel is offering anime streaming to Japanese Wii U consoles.

The service gives users free, unlimited streaming of first episodes from hundreds of shows. Those who want to see more than just one episode of a series can subscribe by buying a Bandai Namco ID, which costs 1,050 yen a month.

The pickings are slim for this week's Nintendo Downloads.

The eShop may have recovered from last week's holiday-induced outage, but this week's Nintendo Downloads show that the big N's problems aren't over just yet. Hopefully you were excited for last week's downloads, because that's all you're going to get this week, aside from a new Wii U Virtual Console title and a 3DS demo.
