Pikmin 3 was never a launch title for Wii U, but it has been planned for the launch window. So you should be playing it before March or so.

Details on Nintendo Land’s final three games

Posted on 12 years ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Wii U | 0 comments

The Official Nintendo Magazine got its hands on a fact sheet that reveals the final three mini-games in Nintendo Land.

The first, Captain Falcon’s Twister Race, was originally shown at E3 earlier this year. It’s a single-player racing-like game. “Octopus Dance” and “Yoshi’s Fruit Cart” are also single-player attractions.

Full details on each are posted below.

Captain Falcon’s Twister Race: In this single-player attraction, you’ll hold the narrow end of the Wii U GamePad upright with both hands to guide a high-speed wind-up vehicle toward the finish line.

Octopus Dance: This is a single-player, rhythm-based attraction using the Wii U GamePad. You must instantly memorise the movement of the character on screen and re-enact the poses using the Control Sticks or gyro sensor.

Yoshi’s Fruit Cart: In this brain-teasing single-player attraction, you’re asked to guide Yoshi’s cart towards the goal while collecting all the fruit along the way. The catch is that you can see fruit on the TV but not on the GamePad, a game-play mechanic made possible only using two screens.
