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.

Here we go: I’ve finally given in to your demands and jumped right back into the uber-crazy ‘Back in Time’ glitch from The Legend of Zelda: Twilight Princess. Last time we explored it, we ended up in twilight-realm Kakariko Village playing as human Link, but the game froze when we went inside of a house and then left. This time? Stuff gets even crazier, which is hard to believe considering how ridiculous last time was.
