The credits of LEGO Batman 3: Beyond Gotham seem to tease the future of LEGO video games. At one point, players are shown a Tyrannosaurus Rex with the Jurassic Park theme song.

We do know that LEGO will be making Jurassic World sets in 2015. There has been speculation about a video game as well. Maybe we’ll hear something next year then…

Back in August, Nintendo teamed up with Mercedes-Benz for the release of free Mario Kart 8 DLC. The original announcement was accompanied by a rather strange commercial. If you missed it, feel free to check out the video right here.

Mercedes-Benz is back with another two Mario/Mario Kart 8-related commercials that are being used to promote the GLA class model. You’ll find both below. One is for Luigi, whereas the other is for Peach.

Pre-orders for the Wii U version of Super Smash Bros. have exceeded those of Mario Kart 8, Nintendo of America president Reggie Fils-Aime has revealed. Reservations thus far have managed to set a record for Wii U.

Fils-Aime told Bloomberg News:

“The launch of Mario Kart 8 has essentially doubled our Wii U sales year-on-year. Presales for Smash are stronger than the presales for Kart. So our expectation is that the sell-through for Smash is going to be very strong, certainly on par with what we saw with Mario Kart 8. We think the impact on hardware will be similarly dramatic.”

Super Smash Bros. for Wii U launches on November 21 in North America.
