The screenshots look a bit compressed, so don’t worry about the graphical quality too much. You can see the game in motion for a few seconds here.

An unexpected Nintendo Direct mini was published by Nintendo’s Japanese division just a short while ago. The video reveals that, at least in Japan, a new “Golden Classic Course Pack” for New Super Mario Bros. 2 will be free for a limited time. The Big N is making this offer available to celebrate the news of 300 billion coins collected in the game worldwide.

Each of the DLC’s levels are based on ones found in Mario titles of old. Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata said that questionnaire feedback helped the team in determining which courses would be included.

Remade levels from Super Mario Bros. include 1-1, 1-2, and 1-4. Super Mario Bros. 3’s 1-1 and 1-5 will be represented, too. Courses feature hidden routes, and if you come across them, you’ll wind up in other classic areas.

Players can download the Golden Classic Course Pack for free between November 27 and January 1. From then on, it’ll cost 200 yen.

Eligible Club Nintendo members should be on the lookout for their Platinum rewards. Nintendo finally started to ship out the items today. Presumably the Gold rewards should be on their way out as well.

Nintendo’s 3DS ambassador program feels like it took place ages ago. Still, there are a couple of games that haven’t been officially released on the eShop.

Zelda II: The Adventure of Link finally came out last Thursday. With its official release, ambassadors can now download the “complete” version of the title.

Amid talk that the Wii U may not be a next-generation console due to specs that are in many ways comparable to the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime told CNET that it is Sony and Microsoft’s responsibility “to react to what we’re doing in the marketplace and figure out what their innovation will be.”

“In the end, our competitors need to react to what we’re doing in the marketplace and need to figure out what their innovation will be. It’s likely that faster processors and pretty pictures won’t be enough to motivate consumers. They need to react to what we’ve done and we need to continue innovating with the Wii U and we will.”

In the past – and especially as of late – some have said that the Wii U could become irrelevant or at the very least find itself in a position comparable to Wii if the machine’s capabilities aren’t up to par with the PS3 and Xbox 360 successors.

But for Reggie, he doesn’t believe releasing the Wii U is a way to catch up with current-gen consoles:

“We don’t believe so. For us, launching new systems is about bringing new consumer experiences to the marketplace and we’re doing that with Nintendo land and third-party publishers are doing it with games like ZombiU. For us, now is the right time to launch new hardware.”

Reggie wrapped up by saying that “consumer response [to the Wii U] has been very positive,” and the console’s performance thus far is “quite comparable” to the Wii. He also made sure to mention that he sees Wii U as “a living, breathing” product that will improve over the years.
