Luigi’s Mansion: Dark Moon has fairly extensive download play features. After a host connects with other 3DS users, players can hop online or participate in games locally. In other words, the host isn’t needed, and players can continue playing even with a copy of the title.

Any limitations to the feature are currently not known. Even if there are any, this is still a pretty neat inclusion.

LEGO City: Undercover has now launched in North America, meaning you can purchase the game on the Wii U eShop if you so please. There’s just one caveat: the game costs $10 more than most retailers are selling it for.

If you want a digital copy of LEGO City, you’ll need to fork over $60. Meanwhile, retailers such as Amazon, Best Buy, and GameStop are selling the game for $50.

It’s unclear why there is a price increase on the eShop, but keep that information in mind if you plan on making a digital purchase.

Nintendo has filed a fifth extension for the Eternal Darkness IP.

That begs the question: what does the trademark update mean? Well, it could be nothing at all. Given the state of Silicon Knights at the moment, the studio would unlikely be making a new entry in the franchise. The only other way Nintendo could be revisiting Eternal Darkness is if it handed off the IP for another developer… which would also be unlikely at this point.

And so this could simply be a standard trademark move for Nintendo.
