For those worried about the state of Call of Duty on Nintendo platforms, it seems Sledgehammer is looking to bring the latest iteration to Wii U, at least according to their E3 listing. The series’ has never done well on Nintendo hardware traditionally but this move shows that it appears to still be a viable move for whatever reason. We will know if this rumor holds true when E3 rolls around.

Coming from its amazon listing, it’s looking like Curtain Call is getting somewhat of a deluxe edition run. The package includes a 5-track CD sampler of Theatrhythm remixes and exclusive alternate packaging. Not an awful lot, but will that be enough to push you over to pre-order?

It’s a Mario double today and Sakurai gave us a look at a New Super Mario Bros. cameo:

Here’s a new Wii U stage, Mushroom Kingdom U! It brings to life the worlds of New Super Mario Bros. U.

The stage will be a transforming one and apparently we’ll see more of it in a couple of weeks:

When Kamek casts a spell, the stage transforms drastically! That said, this is not what you would call a moving stage… …By the way, this stage will be playable in the demo version of the game for E3, a game expo that starts on June 10 in Los Angeles.

The folks over at Cubed3 also have a couple more shots on there Instagram, which you can check out here and here

In a recent interview with Nintendo Life, Goodbye Galaxy Games talked about the biggest enhancements coming to Tappingo 2:

Zoom mode is probably the biggest new feature. People thought the tiles on the big grid were too small. So being able to zoom in is a really nice feature to have.

Other than that there are many little ones, like for example if you look at the screenshot you can see all lines now have outlines. This makes a individual line better visible in a group of the same colour and also stand out a bit more against the background colour.

I also put in double tapping to retract a line, so players won’t accidentally retract a line causing a chain reaction.

Danny and me also worked really hard on the user interface, made it more dynamic and animated. And just lots and lots of other little things!

Check out the full interview here

It’s officially launched in Japan but that hasn’t stopped Nintendo UK promoting Mario Kart 8! The first video features The Brett Domino Trio and isn’t exactly what you’d expect from a normal Nintendo promo.

So this is a collaboration I don’t think anybody expected. Nintendo are partnering with car manufacturer Mercedes Benz to bring a GLA class model into Mario Kart 8 through free DLC. At present it’s only for Japan but this is interesting because it confirms that the infrastructure for DLC has been built into the game and could potentially be used again in the future. If that’s not bonkers enough for you, Mercedes Benz Japan has released a 30 second ad of the partnership.

Update: Nintendo UK have commented to CVG on the possibility of a Western release:

“The announcement this time was made by Mercedes-Benz Japan regarding their collaboration in Japan with NCL. As for the information relating to the distribution of the GLA kart for MK8 outside Japan, we will be able to announce in the near future.”
