Some details about Luigi’s Mansion Arcade have surfaced and been translated over on NeoGAF and while it doesn’t get into the meat of the gameplay too much it does help provide a bit more of an overview on what to expect. Here’s the quote:

-Professor E. Gadd gives the tutorial and some in-game advice.

Nintendo working on amiibo cards, smaller/cheaper figures
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in 3DS, General Nintendo, News, Wii U | 9 Comments
Thus far, Nintendo has only shown figurines in relation to amiibo. But the company apparently has other plans for the brand with additional products.
During the Q&A for Nintendo’s financial results briefing last week, there was talk about the different amiibo projects the company is working on for 2015 and the advantage of allowing them to be used in multiple games as well as the speediness of their read/write speeds.
Skullgirls unlikely to hit Wii U
Posted on 10 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in General Nintendo, News, Wii U eShop | 15 Comments
In the most recent issue of Nintendo Force, the magazine interviewed Mariel Cartwright. Cartwright has worked on a number of projects including Scott Pilgrim vs. The World: The Game and Skullgirls.
Nintendo Force ended up asking Cartwright about which of these two titles has a better chance of making it to a Nintendo system. She pointed to Skullgirls as the more likely candidate since work on the game is still ongoing, though “the chances are very low”.
Cartwright said:
“Probably Skullgirls, since we’re still working on it! But the chances are very low for that, I’m afraid. I’m not a programmer, but there are some technical hurdles we’d have to overcome, as well as uncertainty as to whether or not there’s a market for a hardcore fighter on Wii U. The lineup of indies is getting more and more diverse on Nintendo consoles though, so I wouldn’t say it’s impossible.
Thanks to Jake for the tip.
