Details on Mario Kart 7’s online features have emerged. We have a bit of additional insight into the Community functionality, as well as information on the two Battle Modes.

– Download Play support
– Local/online matches
– Create custom communities with specific parameters
– Share communities with others
– Can’t electively turn on/off whatever item you choose and adjust their frequency
– Start with one long list of different items, characters, kart paths
– Then choose one of these as a specification
– Can have a green shell only race or a Luigi only race or a standard kart frame race
– Can’t specify more than one option at a time (making matches such as a no Blue Shell, mushroom wheel race impossible)
– Balloon Battle: pop as many opponent balloons as possible within the time limit
– How many balloons you lose has little impact
– Coins Battles are timed as well
– Collect as many coins as possible while hitting your opponents’ vehicles to get them to lose their coins
– Six Battle Mode courses: Battle Course 1 from Mario Kart Super Circuit, Big Donut from Mario Kart 64 and Palm Shore from Mario Kart DS, Honeybee Hive, Sherbet Rink and WuHu Town as well
– Mirror Flip races and other community settings included
– Mirror Flip flips the course you’re racing on

Hmm… I’m a little bit concerned about Balloon Battle and Communities. I kind of liked how Balloon Battle was before… and the Community aspect sounds somewhat limiting in terms of setting up options. Guess we’ll see what happens.

Much like the European debut trailer for Xenoblade, this video is comprised of all Japanese footage. Hopefully we’ll see a trailer for the localized game soon.

Thanks to Matt for the tip!

Surely some of you remember this game. It was one of the few announcements made during the Nintendo Direct presentation last month. Namco Bandai is developing this dungeon RPG, with a launch date planned for 2012.

Next month, Nintendo will offer a couple of SDHC cards in Japan. The cards will come in two sizes: 8GB and 16GB.

The 3DS system itself comes with a 2GB SD card, so these new ones are for consumers who take a lot of photos and download a large amount of content from the eShop.

The first clip isn’t too spoilerish, but the second one sort of is. It’s a cutscene… and that’s all that I’ll say here! If you’d really like to check it out, you can find the second video after the break.
