We know that the latest Smash Bros. 3DS update makes some balance changes to certain characters. Nintendo, however, didn’t provide a specific breakdown of what specific changes were made.

That’s where the SmashBoards come in. Users on the forum have created a massive lineup of patch notes for the new Smash Bros. update. If you’re interested in checking out the individual character changes, be sure to check out this link.

Thanks to RetroReid for the tip.

DK: King of Swing has received a Wii U rating over on the ESRB. You know what that means: it’s probably coming soon to the Virtual Console. This week, perhaps?

A rating for Mario Kart: Super Circuit was discovered on the ESRB last week, and it ended up launching on the North American Wii U Virtual Console a day later. It’d hardly be shocking if something similar happened with DK: King of Swing.

Most Wii U games allow players to take screenshots and share them on Miiverse. For whatever reason, this isn’t the case of Watch Dogs.

Multiple users on Miiverse have noted that there isn’t a way to post screenshots to the new Watch Dogs community. Additionally, it seems that photos can’t be shared on Twitter, Facebook, and Tumblr through Nintendo’s image sharing website.

I can’t really see why Ubisoft wouldn’t want people to put up photos from the Wii U version of Watch Dogs online. It looks to be a fairly competent port!

REDMOND, Wash.–(BUSINESS WIRE)– This holiday season is all about Mario. And Link. And Yoshi. And Samus. And Kirby. And…well, a lot of classic video game characters. That’s because Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and the first round of amiibo figures, Nintendo’s first foray into the toys-to-life category, are both launching on Nov. 21, right in time for the holiday shopping season. Nintendo’s favorite characters are going to be everywhere, whether on the battlefields of Super Smash Bros. for Wii U, on store shelves as must-have amiibo figures or at the top of everyone’s holiday wish lists.

“Launching Super Smash Bros. for Wii U and amiibo on the same day kicks off the holiday shopping season with a bang…and a smash,” said Scott Moffitt, Nintendo of America’s executive vice president of Sales & Marketing. “With a wide range of amiibo figures to choose from and a new Super Smash Bros. game on Wii U with more features than ever before, shopping for the Nintendo fan on your list will be easy this year.”
