According to the chart, it has been confirmed that the 2006 Nintendo DS title ''[[Star Fox Command]]'' is going to be available as a Virtual Console title via the Nintendo eShop on June 25, 2015.

Stay tuned for any info regarding the title's release elsewhere.
* <b>June 16, 2015</b> - During the Nintendo Digital Event @ E3 2015, ''[[Star Fox Zero]]'' has been announced, followed with a demonstration of a couple levels played by the presenters during the Nintendo Treehouse Live presentation, alongside with series creator [[Shigeru Miyamoto]]. It has been confirmed that PlatinumGames are co-developing the title, alongside ''Bayonetta 2'' director Yusuke Hashimoto. The game is a neither a sequel, prequel, nor a remake, but rather a re-imagining of the early games in the series. The game features some ''[[Star Fox 2]]'' elements like the Arwing transforming into a mech-like vehicle, and a new helipad vehicle called the [[Gyrowing]].
* <b>November 07, 2014</b> - On the November 5, 2014 Nintendo Direct, it was revealed that the Fox (and possibly Falco) amiibo figurines will be compatible with various games outside of ''Super Smash Bros. for Wii U'', which could include ''Hyrule Warriors'' and ''Mario Kart 8''.

It addition, Bayonetta's guns will be fashioned after [[Arwing|Arwings]], and shoot lasers instead of bullets using the signature target-lock reticule. Whilst the Wii U port of the first ''[[wikipedia:Bayonetta|Bayonetta]]'' game will include Crossover Costumes, the "Star Mercenary" is exclusive to the sequel. The game launches in North America and Europe on October 24, 2014. In other news, Nintendo confirms its first wave of 12 [[wikipedia:Amiibo|amiibo]] figurines will include Smash fighter [[smashwiki:Fox (SSB4)|Fox McCloud]], and although they did not confirm a release date, the figurines are now available for pre-order at various physical and online retailers.

* <b>January 22nd, 2014</b> - NIWA added a new member on Saturday - it sure has been a while: Hard Drop Tetris Wiki, a wiki about the Tetris franchise.

* '''December 11th, 2022''' - The [[dqwiki:Main Page|Dragon Quest Wiki]] has been officially ousted as a member of the NIWA Network today, following a unanimous vote by our members.

The second is Ukikipedia, a comprehensive wiki database about every technical aspect of the [[Nintendo 64]]'s flagship title ''[[ukikipedia:Super Mario 64|Super Mario 64]]'' and its variant re-releases, a great resource for the hacking and modding scene wanting to create their own builds based on the game and its variants.

* '''June 23rd, 2017''' - NIWA added a new member yesterday - it has been a long while: ARMS Institute, a wiki about the Nintendo Switch game ''[[armswiki:ARMS (game)|ARMS]]''. We do not know yet if ''ARMS'' will have any sequels and/or related new entries in the future, but it is amazing that a brand new IP from Nintendo could garner such a grand following and online community in a very short amount of time - enough to launch an independent wiki site about a sole game, at least. Due to the overwhelming success of the first game, it would not be surprising if Nintendo are planning to release more entries in their successful new IP after ''ARMS''. This sounds familiar for some reason. By the way, Nintendo's last major new IP, ''Splatoon'', is a getting [[splatoonwiki:Splatoon 2|a sequel]] next month.
