This week’s North American Wii U Virtual Console game appears to be Flying Warriors. It just appeared on Nintendo’s website, yet strangely, it’s listing a release date of January 20. We assume this was simply an error, and was intended to be January 25 instead.

In any case, here’s an overview of Flying Warriors:

“When the evil red star appears in the sky, the great monster of the Dark Dimension, Demonyx, returns. The five Flying Warriors, led by Rick Stalker, are sent by the Dragon Lord to defeat Demonyx. Fight through four game modes. Choose one of two different fighting styles. One for beginners, and one for those who can master the martial arts. Use items and Mystic Spells in your quest to rescue the Light Dimension from darkness.”

Flying Warriors will set you back $4.99.

Nintendo will be joining the lineup of sponsors for the 2017 Kids’ Choice Awards. It’s unclear what exactly that role entails, but the show does at least have backing from the big N.

You may have forgotten, but there was a neat little Nintendo segment at the Kids’ Choice Awards last year. Mario and Luigi showed up to present once of the winners, and a live-action Mario sequence was created.

The latest trailer for The Great Ace Attorney 2 was heavy on dialogue and general scenes as opposed to gameplay. Thankfully, someone has gone to the trouble of translating the video with English subtitles. You can see that below.
