It’s a good week to be a Nintendo fan. And we’re about to close up shop on this fine Friday by talking about why on the Shacknews Dump. Stick around because we’ve got plenty more hot news topics from the week to discuss as well.

On this February 11 edition of the Shacknews Dump, we get into the nitty-gritty of all the gaming goodness that Nintendo shared with us this week on its latest Nintendo Direct presentation. There was plenty to see for gaming fans of all kinds. That wasn’t all though PlatinumGames’ new CEO Atsushi Inaba is in and has lofty plans for the future of the developer that may include more live service games. Furthermore, Dead Island 2 might not be so dead after all?
