A surprising Humble Bundle sale kicked off earlier today. Nintendo made history as the first company to have games from its systems represented, which is made up of various indie titles. The bundle is an absolute steal, and you have to commend Nintendo on making it happen. There is, however, one notable downside: codes are only valid for those with North American Wii U and 3DS systems.

Based on a comment from Nintendo’s Damon Baker, it sounds like the lack of European support wasn’t entirely the company’s fault. Baker wrote on Twitter that he “tried for months to make it global”. In the future, he believes that they’ll be able to have Europe included in the sale.

We’ve already reported on the news that the next Skylanders game will feature vehicles thanks to some leaks, and now we’ve got some more evidence backing that up.

A couple of weeks ago, American motorsports competitor Travis Pastrana reportedly wrote the following Instagram post: “Was filming some cool stuff for a new Activision game called Skylanders Superchargers this weekend”. The post has since been deleted. Makes sense that a motorsports star would be involved with a game featuring vehicles, right?

While it’s obviously not an official confirmation yet, it does seem pretty likely that the next Skylanders game will feature vehicles of some kind.

Community Effort Orlando will be taking place in Florida next month. A number of games will be featured at the tournament, including Smash Bros.

CEO prepared a new trailer to promote the event yesterday (see below), though Smash Bros. was not included. This prompted one fan to inquire about the game’s status. While Smash Bros. was missing in the video, CEO’s official Twitter account that we’ll still be seeing it at the tournament. What’s more, there’s also “something big” planned.

The message reads:

This could be one of many things, so I won’t even begin to speculate about what’s being teased here. I will say that we shouldn’t jump to any sort of conclusions, such as major new fighters being revealed for Smash Bros. Wii U/3DS. We’ll just have to wait and see how this one plays out!
