Miitomo × Super Mario Run, Inazuma Eleven Ares, Creeping Terror, Nintendo shares and more!

● The lead pic is from WayForward designer and director James Montagna’s Miitomo account over the new Super Mario Run collaboration (detailed here). In addition to the Super Mario Run promotion, if you purchase 1,000 Miitomo Coins you will receive 4,000 additional Miitomo Coins for free and The High-Neck Pea Coat and other new items have been added to the Miitomo Shop.

● The first Inazuma Eleven Ares screenshots were published today in a livestream (here) which also debuted the second Inazuma Eleven: Outer Code short anime episode. No platform for the game at present although the smartphone chibi spin-off implies that the main game will not be for smartphone (*cough* *Switch* *cough*).

Creeping Terror is the new name for the horror game Freak Out -Play Tag- and will release on the Japanese 3DS eShop in early 2017. Watch the debut trailer here.

Nintendo Co., Ltd. shares rose to their highest level since 19 July up 3.65% to close the week at 29,255. The reason is the buzz around Super Mario Run.

Collectible Badge Center was updated earlier with Christmas Ashley, Christmas Monster Hunter X, Yokai Watch series, pixelated Game Boy cart and pixelated GameCube and Wii U badges plus three days of three plays. Go here to see them all!

● Nintendo also updated their LINE account with Kinopio-kun picking up his copy of Miitopia! Check out all the pictures here.

● Ensky are releasing a Kirby Soft Vinyl Figure Collection: Suyasuya on 28 February 2017. Pre-order yours for $7.99 here.

● Finally, Apple Store employees will be wearing the above Super Mario Run pin today (thanks GoNintendo!) as the game is playable in Apple Stores worldwide! Have a great weekend and thanks for following!
