The latest episode of GameTrailers TV just wrapped up a few minutes ago, as did the show’s interview with Reggie Fils-Aime.

During the discussion, Geoff Keighley asked the Nintendo of America president about first-party titles that are in development for Wii U. Reggie responded by assuring that Shigeru Miyamoto, the staffers at EAD, and Retro are working on “fantastic projects.”

“… Rest assured, Mr. Miyamoto, the team at EAD are working on fantastic projects. Rest assured that Retro is working on a fantastic project. We’ve got big games in development that will be coming that will continue to drive the install base of the system. All of that’s going to be there.”

Reggie was then probed about when we could be hearing about these projects. He said that news will be shared “in all likelihood during E3”, adding that it “really depends on the progress of the games.” Announcements could be made a little bit before E3, or perhaps a littler bit after.

There’s a problem with the Wii version of FIFA 13. You see, it’s practically the same exact game as FIFA 12. It’s true that the squads and kits have been updated, but that’s pretty much it.

Same styles. Same visuals. Same menus.

It’s rather odd seeing something like this, but potential FIFA 13 buyers should be aware of this.

Nintendo promised downloadable content for New Super Mario Bros. 2. Today, the company finally provided a look at DLC in the game through a (very short) Nintendo Direct presentation.

Take a look below:

So here’s the deal. Starting on October 2, New Super Mario Bros. 2 DLC will be released for 200 yen a piece.

There are three packs planned. First up is “Go! Go! Gold Mario Pack”, which offers three courses and up to 30,000 coins. Next, “Challenge the Record Pack A”. Those who receive the top worldwide scores will be featured on the site’s homepage. Last but not least is “Survival Panic Pack” for the best players out there.

Keep in mind that DLC packs aren’t random. There are fixed three stages each.

New Super Mario Bros. 2 owners will be able to access DLC via the “Shop” button on the bottom of the Coin Rush mode menu. You’ll need to read a SpotPass notice for this to appear – this should be delivered on October 2 mid-day.

Details on Nintendo’s North American plans should be coming shortly.
