Nintendo TVii will be ready for the Japanese launch of Wii U next month.

Starting on December 8, the app will be available to all consumers in the country. Nintendo has teamed up with Syndicated G Guide for the service.

We’re waiting on concrete details as to how Nintendo TVii will work in Japan, but it sounds like it’ll be much different than the North American version. It seems as though the app mainly functions as a source of information. You can view downloaded details about TV programs to your Wii U and view that on the GamePad. Actual television watching is done on the television.

One of my favorite things about the Wii U is that– relatively speaking of course– it’s pretty portable. Without having to unplug everything and re-plug it all later, I could just take the console, the power cord, and the controller and be set to go without a TV or any other cables. One Wii U importer in Japan has put this functionality to good use by playing his console on the train to test the limits of its portability.

Needless to say, he was pretty impressed! Take a look at some images below:

Looks like he even used his phone to connect to the internet and hop on Miiverse!

The screenshots look a bit compressed, so don’t worry about the graphical quality too much. You can see the game in motion for a few seconds here.

An unexpected Nintendo Direct mini was published by Nintendo’s Japanese division just a short while ago. The video reveals that, at least in Japan, a new “Golden Classic Course Pack” for New Super Mario Bros. 2 will be free for a limited time. The Big N is making this offer available to celebrate the news of 300 billion coins collected in the game worldwide.

Each of the DLC’s levels are based on ones found in Mario titles of old. Nintendo CEO Satoru Iwata said that questionnaire feedback helped the team in determining which courses would be included.

Remade levels from Super Mario Bros. include 1-1, 1-2, and 1-4. Super Mario Bros. 3’s 1-1 and 1-5 will be represented, too. Courses feature hidden routes, and if you come across them, you’ll wind up in other classic areas.

Players can download the Golden Classic Course Pack for free between November 27 and January 1. From then on, it’ll cost 200 yen.

Game publishers and developers shove nonsense into our faces a lot, and most of the time we just say “Yea, that’s cool. It makes sense.”, even when it doesn’t.

Well, I feel like I don’t want to take that anymore. At least for today.

I wouldn’t be writing this feature if the response to last night’s quote from Gearbox regarding why Borderlands wouldn’t be coming to Wii U was different. If bloggers and pseudo-journalists had called them out and said “Hey, you know what, that reason makes absolutely no sense!”, I wouldn’t be furiously (okay, not furiously– that’s a word to make it seem more exciting) typing away right now, anxious to tell you all why this is a bunch of baloney.
