The 3DS version of 1001 Spikes won’t include multiplayer elements, according to Nicalis. However, Nintendo fans can count on multiplayer for the game’s Wii U version.
Nicalis wrote on Twitter yesterday:
@iEfrenR Wii U is the one to get if you plan to do multiplayer. PS Vita and 3DS will not have multiplayer

Mario Kart 8’s items “are the most balanced in the history of the series”, devs say
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 25 Comments
Mario Kart 8’s items “are the most balanced in the history of the series”, according to developers Hideki Konno and Kosuke Yabuki.
While speaking with GamesMaster about the Blue Shells, the two developers said:
Blue Shells provide a certain level of tension that helps maintain the excitement right up until the very end of a race. Of course we pay particular attention to balance. Through literally thousands of races, we’ve made numerous adjustments to get it just right. In our opinion, the items in Mario Kart 8 are the most balanced in the history of the series.
I’d have to agree with Konno and Yabuki here. With the amount of time I’ve put into Mario Kart 8 thus far, I definitely get the impression that the items are very balanced this time around, especially compared to some of the series’ previous entries.
Thanks to joclo for the tip.

Black Wii U systems phased out in Japan
Posted on 11 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 9 Comments
Consumers in Japan can only choose between two Wii U system options in Japan at present. There’s the original 8GB console released back in 2012, and the 32GB Wii Sports Club bundle featuring tennis, bowling, and golf.
Nintendo’s website confirms that all other Wii U consoles are no longer available in Japan, including the Dragon Quest X and Monster Hunter 3 Ultimate packages, and the black/white Instant Play Family Sets.
Reader Marquis Ozu tells us that black Wii U systems as a whole are pretty much gone from all stores in Japan, which is understandable based on what Nintendo’s page has listed. Retailers like Sofmap and Bic Camera are no longer carrying the color variation, and that’s probably the case with all other locations.
