Remember when Nintendo randomly pulled the Donkey Kong Country games from the Wii Shop Channel? Well, now they’re back! All three Donkey Kong Country titles can be purchased on the digital Wii shop once again. I suppose their return has something to do with the recent Wii U Virtual Console releases.

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

What would the original Zelda map look like in Minecraft? Two gamers appear to have come up with an answer! Check out the results below.

This is some impressive stuff. I know I’d never have the time or patience to make something like this!

Thanks to Jake for the tip.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars is just a few days away from launching in North America. In the states, Nintendo’s newest release is an eShop-only title.

Mario vs. Donkey Kong: Tipping Stars will take up 930MB of space on Wii U. On 3DS, the game comes in at 2,100 blocks.

Note that 3D is not supported in the 3DS version. The Wii U version only supports the GamePad in terms of controllers. Both were to be expected!

It’s been a few months since we last highlighted a game as part of our “Weekly Screenshot” feature. But there’s long been an indie title on my mind that I thought would be a perfect fit for the idea: Affordable Space Adventures. Now that its development is coming to a close, we’ve teamed up with KnapNok Games to showcase more from Affordable Space Adventures. For the next several weeks, we’ll be sharing exclusive images from the game along with a bit of additional information. If Affordable Space Adventures isn’t already on your radar, hopefully you’ll gain some interest as we introduce new content!

The first photo we’re posting is one of the loading screens that appears between sections in Affordable Space Adventures. It reminds players about the important gameplay mechanic of scanning artifacts to see their range and type of detection before they attempt to attack the spaceship. Loading screens in the game – as well as well as the Wii U digital instructions manual – show a manual written by Uexplore, the company that in the game’s universe offers “Cheap… but functional” spaceships to travel to Spectaculon.

Here’s the official screenshot description from KnapNok:

When exploring around Spectaculon, remember to scan left and right for completely safe alien artifacts. Just don’t disturb them or you’ll be fined. Or shot at.

Another Affordable Space Adventures screenshot will be posted on the site next week!
