Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker Mini-Universes Galore Trailer

Nintendo has just released a new trailer for the anticipated Wii U game, Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker and the game is looking quite impressive. The Wii U adventure boasts quite a bit of content which is sure to please fans who thought the game would just be a short little spin-off title from Super Mario 3D World. It has been revealed that the title will feature 70 levels complete with massive boss battles. The game will also include support for Nintendo's amiibo figures but the full details have yet to be revealed. The latest trailer indicated that players will also have the ability to play as Toadette. Fans will be able to start their treasure tracking on December 5th. Enjoy!

Pikmin 3 Gets A Rebirth With Short Films And Wii U eShop Demo!

Pikmin 3 is easily one of more unique titles to grace Nintendo's first HD console but unfortunately never got the recognition it deserved due to the the unwarranted media bashing of the Wii U during 2013 and a lot of 2014. Fortunately Nintendo is giving the game a second chance now that everyone is crawling back to the Wii U due to it having the best exclusive titles of the eighth generation consoles (Wii U, PS4, XBOne). One way they are doing this is by offering a full playable demo of Pikmin 3 on the eShop. What makes this demo special is that any of your progress in the demo will be saved and carried over to the full retail version of the game should you decide to add this gem to your collection. I highly recommend giving this game a try if you have a Wii U or are getting one this fall.

Nintendo is also releasing a series of adorable Pikmin short films on the 3DS & Wii U eShop. The films were crafted and directed by series creator (and legendary game designer) Shigeru Miyamoto. These three short films titled The Night Juicer, Treasure in a Bottle and Occupational Hazards further expand on the cute little Pikmin and their lives outside of the game world. Your viewing preference will be based on the console of choice with Pikmin Short Movies 3D for 3DS and Pikmin Short Movies HD for Wii U priced at $4.99 each. Your film purchase will also include the animated storyboards Mr. Miyamoto used to plan the film which were created using Nintendo's own Flipnote Studio software from the Nintendo DSi. Enjoy!

Majora's Mask 3D Coming To 3DS In Spring 2015!

Ever since The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time 3D came to the Nintendo 3DS back in 2011, fans have been begging Nintendo for a similar update to the criminally underrated and often overlooked Majora's Mask. Nintendo will be making Zelda fans very happy as they have just announced The Legend of Zelda: Majora's Mask 3D which is set to launch in Spring 2015. The game is receiving a similar graphical update as Ocarina of Time which will make the game look just like the concept art for the N64 original. Other upgrades are sure to be included but Nintendo has yet to reveal any of the juicy new extra features. Nintendo has also released a new trailer which gives a glorious sneak peak of the game. Enjoy!
