Nintendo of Europe has taken a few moments to reminder gamers that Mario Kart 7 arrives on Friday. They’ve also confirmed that the wheel peripheral will be sold. The accessory was previously confirmed for Japan only.

28th November, 2011 – With the ability to drive underwater and glide through the air to find new shortcuts, all-new kart customisation options, online play, brand new and enhanced retro courses and fun new race modes, Mario Kart 7 for Nintendo 3DS offers something for every racing fan when it launches across Europe on 2nd December 2011.

Mario Kart 7 gives you the chance to make the Mario Kart experience your own, in a customised kart made to your specifications. Players can race on land, underwater or through the air using new abilities which have been introduced especially for Mario Kart 7. The gliders automatically deploy when you launch off a ramp, allowing you to fly through the air, or use the new ability to drive through water, giving you new ways to overtake your rivals no matter what the terrain.

Screenshots of Metal Gear Solid: Snake Eater 3D may lead you to believe that the game is nothing more than a port. That’s not the case though according to Hideo Kojima.

During a promotion event for Metal Gear Solid HD Edition, Kojima said that the 3DS title is, believe it or not, a remake that has been made from scratch. He added that the project has been optimized for the hardware.

We still don’t know much about how Snake Eater 3D sets itself apart from the original game. Konami has only said that it will incorporate some gyroscope support and camera camouflage functionality.

tri-Ace has shared some information regarding Beyond the Labyrinth’s costume creation features. Director Takayuki Suguro and art director Kentaro Kagami talked with Japanese gaming site 4Gamer to provide the details.

The two revealed the following details:

– Costume creation tool made from scratch
– Suguro joked that they knew players would want the ability to change the characters’ costumes, but because creating costumes would be a lot of work for the designers, they decided to let the players create the costumes for themselves
– Drawings made on the touch screen can be seen in real time on the girl’s clothing on the top screen
– Change the girl’s hair color
– Save edits to the SD card in JPEG format
– Can only edit the girl’s costume
