'''<big>Star Fox News</big>'''
* <b>April 18, 2016</b> - Along with a teaser trailer, Nintendo of America officially announced ''[[Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins]]'' today. ''Star Fox Zero: The Battle Begins'' is a promotional anime short film, and a collaboration effort between producer [[Shigeru Miyamoto]], and [[wikipedia:Production I.G|Production I.G]] alongside subsidiary [[wikipedia:Wit Studio|Wit Studio]]. The short will have its world premiere live on April 20 at 3 pm PT, following by a live stream of [http://live.nintendo.com/ Nintendo Treehouse: Live] demonstrating ''[[Star Fox Zero]]'' and ''[[Star Fox Guard]]''. Production I.G is well known for other animation works based on both manga and video games, such as the anime adaptations of [[wikipedia:Ghost in the Shell|''Ghost in the Shell'']] and [[wikipedia:Attack on Titan|''Attack on Titan'']].
* <b>March 03, 2016</b> - Despite various rumors in previous weeks about a second delay, today's Nintendo Direct presentation in all regions had reaffirmed that ''[[Star Fox Zero]]'' will be released as scheduled back in November 2015. The game will go on sale on April 21, 2016 in Japan, and on April 22, 2016 in North America and Europe. In addition to this, Nintendo officially announces the first spin-off in the series - ''[[Star Fox Guard]]'' - a [[Wii U]] tower defense strategy game featuring [[Slippy Toad]] with his uncle [[Grippy Toad|Grippy]]. The game will be primarily available from the Nintendo eShop, but it was also confirmed a physical game disc will available in a limited two-pack bundle with ''Star Fox Zero'' at launch. Both games will launch simultaneously in all regions. ''Star Fox Guard'' was originally presented as a tech demo by producer [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] at E3 2014 under the working title ''Project Guard'', but only today was it confirmed as an official Star Fox title. Other new details from the Nintendo Direct include the branching paths and amiibo functionality in ''Star Fox Zero''.
* <b>November 13, 2015</b> - After unveiling a brand new cinematic trailer for ''[[Star Fox Zero]]'', today's Nintendo Direct presentation in all regions confirmed the new release date as April 2016, with the North American Direct going a step further stating the game will be out by April 22, 2016. ''Star Fox Zero'' was originally expected to be released this month, before producer [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] delivered the unfortunate news that the game's development period was extended, and will not be released until Q1 2016.
* <b>September 25, 2015</b> - [http://www.nintendo.com.au/ Nintendo Australia] has confirmed they are attending the [http://www.ebexpo.com.au/ 2015 EB Games Expo] at the Sydney Showgrounds from October 2 until October 4, 2015. They will be hosting various gaming competitions and are going to demo a wide array of available and upcoming titles for Wii U and Nintendo 3DS, with ''[[Star Fox Zero]]'' included. If you live close by to Sydney, if not in Australia in general, do not miss this opportunity.
* <b>September 18, 2015</b> - '''BREAKING NEWS''': ''[[Star Fox Zero]]'' producer [[Shigeru Miyamoto]] personally appeared via the official social media channels today to personally issue an apology for a hard decision he made in the past week. Despite the fact the game was on schedule to release at the previously posted date of November 20, 2015, due to an "unprecedented discovery" during development that the two-screen experience could be improved, and further polish the game overall, Miyamoto reluctantly decided to delay the game's release, promising a not-so-long-off window of the first quarter of 2016 as a new release schedule, keeping in line with the promise that the game will still be technically released before the upcoming [[zeldawiki:Zelda Wii U|''The Legend of Zelda'' game for Wii U]]. This is a reflection of a quote Miyamoto said in 2012, "A delayed game is eventually good, but a rushed game is forever bad."

* <b>July 05th, 2015</b> - NIWA added a new member yesterday - it sure has been a while: Inkipedia, a wiki about the Wii U game ''[[splatoonwiki:Splatoon|Splatoon]]''. We do not know yet if ''Splatoon'' 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 ''Splatoon''.
* '''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 ousting comes after inappropriate conduct by the wiki's new host, including repeated harassment and slurs towards our community members, and concluding they cannot be trusted to safeguard users' private information. This is not an indictment towards the rest of Dragon Quest Wiki's editors; we wish them the best moving forward.
* <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. Although Tetris is considered a third-party franchise owned by [[wikipedia:The Tetris Company|The Tetris Company]], the franchise is known to have a history of being worked on by several licensed entities, and Nintendo happens to be one of them. Albeit Nintendo does not develop Tetris games presently, the franchise still has a notable spot in Nintendo's own history, in addition to the several iteration of Tetris games available on various Nintendo consoles.

* <b>March 30th, 2012</b> - NIWA added a new member today: Dragon Quest Wiki, a wiki about the Dragon Quest series. Although Dragon Quest is considered a third-party franchise owned by [[wikipedia:Square-Enix|Square-Enix]], its latest games from 2007 onwards are Nintendo-exclusive entries, some of which were published by Nintendo themselves outside Japan, which is why the related wiki was qualified to be a NIWA member.

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.
* <b>March 23rd, 2012</b> - Coinciding with the worldwide release of [[icaruspedia:Kid Icarus: Uprising|''Kid Icarus: Uprising'']] for the Nintendo 3DS, NIWA added a new member today: Icaruspedia, a wiki about the Kid Icarus series.

* '''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.
