I’ve been meaning to get around to this for some time now, and I’ve finally had the opportunity to do so. What’s included in the gallery above are several New Year’s greeting cards from Nintendo developers (via Nintendo Dream’s February issue). The images feature Mario, Zelda, Splatoon, and much more. We also threw in some cards that aren’t Nintendo-based like Youkai Watch and Sonic. All of the artwork is quite nice!

Super Smash Bros. fans have come up with a new mini-game called “Falcon Potato”. It’s done with three players in Special Smash with a higher launch rate and timers-only. Two play as Mario (or Dr. Mario), and another plays as Captain Falcon.

After the match begins, you slow down time with an item, and start a Falcon Punch. The Mario players then use their “Cape” move to redirect the punch until someone gets hit.

N-ZONE, Germany’s last Nintendo-specific magazine, has teased the reveal of a new LEGO game. A preview of the title will be published in N-ZONE’s next issue.

We can’t say for sure what will be announced. Although, maybe it will have something to do with the rumored LEGO Jurassic Park game…

We’ll be seeing the next issue of N-ZONE on February 18. However, it’s possible that Warner Bros. will make an announcement before then.
